Cheryl, who owns the security node for the Silverlight documentation on MSDN, has created a security topic for Silverlight 4 release. She saw the need for that following an article concluding that Adobe has put the most effort into security and documenting secure practices.
Recently, there was an article
in EWeek about the various platforms for Rich Internet Application (RIA)
development, including Silverlight. It was an interesting article but one thing
I found a bit worrisome is the author’s conclusion that Adobe has put the most
effort into security and documenting secure practices. I own the security node
for the Silverlight documentation on MSDN, which means that although I don’t own
the feature-specific security concerns, I am responsible for pulling all these
pieces together in a coherent way. As part of this charter, for the Silverlight
4 release I created a security
topic based largely on a security
whitepaper written by Nick, a PM for Silverlight. I worked with Nick to
create this topic and it was reviewed by the Silverlight security team.
