6.858 / Fall 2014 / Paper Reading Questions

Paper Reading Questions

For each paper, your assignment is two-fold. By 10PM the evening before lecture:

Submit your answer for each lecture's paper question via the submission web site in a file named lecn.txt, and

Submit your own question about the paper (e.g., what you find most confusing about the paper or the paper's general context/problem) in a file named sqn.txt. You cannot use the question below. To the extent possible, during lecture we will try to answer questions submitted the evening before.

Once you submit your own question and answer (or after the deadline has passed), you can view the questions and answers that other students submitted.

Lecture 11

What kinds of security vulnerabilities are still possible in an Ur/Web application? One approach might be to keep the OWASP Top-10 list in mind as you are reading the Ur/Web paper, and consider whether Ur/Web's features can eliminate certain classes of bugs, or whether it's still possible to have vulnerabilities.

A note from the paper author: this paper is a draft of a camera-ready conference paper, and if you have any bug reports or suggestions about the paper, the author (Adam Chlipala, adamc@csail.mit.edu) would appreciate your feedback!
