Crossing the Chasm: Pitching Security Research to Mainstream Browser Vendors
Collin Jackson, Assistant Research Professor at Carnegie Mellon University
"Why doesn't my browser do X?" Competition among browser vendors is fierce, and it seems that everyone has an idea for how to make Web browsing faster, easier, and more secure. But only a small fraction of the published research on Web security is ever adopted by popular browsers. In this talk we'll discuss what it takes to transition a research idea into a mainstream browser feature and the pitfalls that lie in wait along the way.
Collin Jackson, Assistant Research Professor at Carnegie Mellon University
Collin Jackson is an Assistant Research Professor at Carnegie Mellon University, based on the Silicon Valley campus. His Web security proposals have been adopted by many popular browsers, including Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari, and Opera. He has also proposed plenty of ideas that have gone absolutely nowhere.
