The Persistent Problem of Software Insecurity
Elisa Bertino · IEEE Security & Privacy · 2022
Software is increasingly playing a key role in all infrastructure and application domains we may think of. One notable example is represented by the increased “softwarization” of computer networks, including wireless communications networks—see, for example, the various initiatives toward open radio access networks (RANs) to disaggregate the various components of a RAN and standardize the interface of these components to run them on the cloud. Or, there is the notion of “network programs”1 as an approach to better control and manage networks and possibly even enhance their security.
