Open Source Summit Europe 2024

In recent years, the Rust programming language has gained popularity for its ability to provide safety guarantees for concurrent code, making it an ideal choice for developers looking to create secure open source products. However, while Rust offers robust features to prevent common programming errors and vulnerabilities, developers still play a crucial role in ensuring the correctness of their code. This presentation will explore the safety guarantees of Rust for concurrent async code and discuss how developers can take ownership of writing secure and correct code. Key Points: 1. Overview of Rust's safety guarantees for concurrent code 2. Understanding the role of developers in ensuring code correctness 3. Best practices for writing secure Rust code 4. Challenges and limitations of using Rust for developing secure software Overall, this presentation aims to educate attendees on the benefits and challenges of using Rust for developing secure products. By empowering developers to take charge of writing correct code, we can collectively contribute to a safer and more reliable digital ecosystem.
