Security By Design & Smart Contract Audits | Shayan Eskandari
Welcome to "Security By Design and Smart Contract Audits" with Shayan Eskandari. This presentation was delivered on Friday, August 30th 2019. What will students learn? This course is appropriate for current and aspiring developers who want to implement security by design and financial smart contract applications. The idea of a serverless application running in a public ledger with open interface is new to most developers and hence common practices in traditional programming could easily result in security vulnerabilities in decentralized applications. In this session, discover smart contract security best practices and how to think about security in the design of decentralized applications (security by design). The second half of the session focuses on smart contract code auditing and a hands-on code review on real smart contracts. Chapters 00:00 Introduction 1:28 Smart contracts vs traditional software development 10:35 Front-running vulnerability 14:38 Code Auditing 28:31 Smart Contract Vulnerabilities 32:02 Resources ==== Shayan Eskandari is currently completing his doctoral studies in Information Systems Engineering at Concordia University. He has worked in network and information systems security for several years and has extensive experience as a blockchain engineer in startups as well as contributing to open source projects. Currently he is working as the security engineer and smart contract auditor at ConsenSys Diligence.
