The Security of Open Source Software Systems & the Usage of Vulnerable Source Code

Speaker: Saleh Alnaeli, Ph.D.

Computer Science Assistant Professor Candidate

In scientific, mobile, IoT, and communication computing, a significant number of software systems are designed and shared as Open Source Systems (OSS). This open development approach has gained widespread acceptance in the research communities from both academia and industry.  As those systems are present in most of the today’s devices, one of the critical factors for determining the quality and success of those systems is security.
