Abstract

The Rust programming language makes some strong claims about the security of Rust code. In this presentation, the authors evaluate the Rust programming language from a cybersecurity perspective. They examine Rust’s security model, both in what it promises and its limitations. They also examine how secure Rust code has been seen in practice and conclude with over maturity and stability of the Rust ecosystem.
