Building secure software is high on everyone's priority list at the moment, and for good reason. While there are many sources of information for building secure desktop or Web-based applications, there is precious little documentation available that deals with the complexities of document-based customization security. We will present some commonly encountered security problems in this area and possible solutions for them using Visual Studio Tools for Office 2005 (VSTO). Ample time will also be allowed for answering your questions at the end of the session.
