LinuxCon+ContainerCon Europe 2016

Installing and updating software presents an interesting slate of security challenges.  The Update Framework (TUF) helps developers secure new or existing software update systems. TUF provides protection against data tampering, rollbacks, and many cases of key compromise. This presentation will discuss both the attacks that TUF protects against and how it actually does so under the hood. Additionally, this presentation will demonstrate the usability aspects of TUF as it is currently implemented in Docker Notary and Docker Content Trust, in particular how simple it is to recover from key compromise and delegate trust to collaborators.
