2012 Summer Project Week:Threat Modeling

Unsecured code can be a launching pad to take control of the host computer.
Key Investigators
- Kitware: Jean-Christophe Fillion-Robin (JC), Julien Finet (J2)
- Radnostics: Anthony Blumfield
Objective
Identify “low hanging fruit” architecture enhancements that will limit the ability of using 3D slicer as a launching pad to take control of the host computer.
Why now? Earlier architectural changes are cheaper and reduce the application compatibility burden.
Approach, Plan
During project week we will create a high level threat model for 3D Slicer v4 and identify possible mitigations
Focus on elevation of privilege threats; punt other threat types to a later stage
Meeting Tuesday noon-3PM, Location TBD
