Clive Boulton at heart is an engineer. Currently an architect also making contributions to blockchain protocols by fostering standards ,startups, teams and inclusive developer communities. Previously he designed, built and shipped industry and business control systems, mostly for supply chain.

To touch on the LFNW theme "Message in a Bottle". Security, Containerization, and Personal Data.

We present a reprise of Mark S. Miller's continuing work on Robust Composition at TC39 on the EcmaScript standard. Turning JavaScript the programming language of the web into a first class object capabilities-based language. With an ability to defend itself from speculative execution class security hacks. We will show computer security examples incorporated into Ward Cunningham's federated wiki, github and how to secure your own JS code. Briefly we plan to mention how Miller’s work ties into decentralizing cyber risks with blockchain smart contracts. With a lot of ground to cover in this session will draw on past talks speaker deck
