I will present the WebBlaze project, aiming at designing
and developing new techniques and tools to improve web
security. WebBlaze's new technologies cover a broad range including
new architectural solutions for defending against cross-site scripting
attacks, tools for detecting and defending against cross-origin
JavaScript capability leaks which lead to universal cross-site
scripting attacks, and new approaches for secure browser extensions and web advertisements.

I will also give an overview of the BitBlaze project, describing how
we build a unified binary program analysis platform and use it to
provide novel solutions to computer security problems including
automatic vulnerability discovery, automatic generation of
vulnerability signatures for defense, and automatic extraction of
security models for analysis and verification. I will also describe
some ongoing efforts in mobile security. More information about
WebBlaze and BitBlaze is available at http://webblaze.cs.berkeley.edu
and http://bitblaze.cs.berkeley.edu.
