Cross-subdomain Cookie Attacks

Announces a Toorcon talk and paper on client-side trust in subdomains. Cookie scoping implements its security policy backwards, granting a subdomain more trust than its parent rather than less as the DNS hierarchy would suggest. Proofs of concept target Google's then-new CSRF protection and Expedia; both were fixed before publication.
