Security Project

Charter

Members of the security project help improving OpenOffice.org security and privacy by identifying possible security and privacy issues and by elaborating solutions.

This includes general topics like encryption, password handling, digital signatures and certificate handling.

Solutions won't necessarily be implemented by members of the security project. Members of the project have some skills in the area of security and privacy, but don't necessarily need to be very familiar with the OpenOffice.org code base.

The security project should also work on security and privacy issues with regard to the OpenOffice.org web site.

This project supplements the efforts of the OpenOffice.org Security Team, and will not supersede it. Undisclosed security vulnerabilities will still be handled by the security team alone, as well as the security bulletins and alerts, because such information can not be disclosed in advance to members of a project where everybody can join.

As a long term goal, the security project could do some deeper security investigations in the existing code base, or elaborate some security related guidelines for developers.

We invite the OpenOffice.org community to join the project and help us ensure that OpenOffice.org remains safe and reliable for all users.
