The presentation will discuss in detail the real-world implications for 64-bit security, and dispel some myths about its security implications. Also, we will cover in depth the evolutionary changes in operating systems when moving to 64-bit, as well as the practical implications of these changes, and their increased relevance today.

Real World Implications of 64-bit Computing for Security:

• Architectural changes introduced by 64-bit computing.
• 64-bit computing today, and the state of security, and the relevance of security for attackers.
• Myths about 64-bit computing and security.
• Programming models: LLP64 vs LP64 - who picked the right one? Microsoft or Unix?
• Security benefits of 64-bit architectures.
• Insecurity introduced by 64-bit architectures - undirected change drives insecurity.
