| 23 <li><p class="first">Binding Agreement</p> |
| 24 <p>In order to enter the Native Client Security Contest (“Contest”), |
| 25 you must agree to these Terms and Conditions (“Terms”). Therefore, |
| 26 please read these Terms prior to entry to ensure you understand and |
| 27 agree. You agree that submission of an entry in the Contest |
| 28 constitutes your agreement to these Terms. After reading the Terms |
| 29 and in order to participate, each Participant (as defined below) |
| 30 must complete the registration form, clicking the “I understand and |
| 31 agree” box (or the equivalent), on the Contest entry webpage. Once |
| 32 the Participant clicks the “I understand and agree” box (or the |
| 33 equivalent), the Terms form a binding legal agreement between each |
| 34 Participant and Google with respect to the Contest.</p> |
| 35 <p>Participants may not submit an Exploit, Issue or Summary to the |
| 36 Contest and are not eligible to receive the prizes described in |
| 37 these Terms unless they agree to these Terms. If a Participant is |
| 38 part of a team, each member of the team must read and agree to |
| 39 these Terms and click on the “I understand and agree” box (or the |
| 40 equivalent) described herein. Failure of any member of a team to |
| 41 agree to these Terms and click on the “I understand and agree” box |
| 42 (or the equivalent) described herein will disqualify the entire |
| 43 team.</p> |
| 44 <p>By entering, Participant warrants that Participant has not violated |
| 45 any employment agreement or other restriction imposed by his or her |
| 46 employer by participating in this Contest.</p> |
| 47 </li> |
| 48 <li><p class="first">Description</p> |
| 49 <p>The Contest is organized by Google and is designed to motivate the |
| 50 developer community to identify and report security Exploits (as |
| 51 defined below) on Google’s Native Client software and reward those |
| 52 developers who identify one or more security Exploits that are |
| 53 evaluated as a winning exploit by the Judges.</p> |
| 54 <p>Once a Participant has registered for the Contest, the Participant |
| 55 will be asked to identify security Exploits in Google’s Native |
| 56 Client Software and enter those Exploits on Google’s <a class="reference externa
l" href="http://code.google.com/p/nativeclient/issues/list">Native Client |
| 57 Issue Tracker</a> |
| 58 web site using the “Security Contest Template.” At this point, the |
| 59 Exploit will become an Issue and will no longer be able to be |
| 60 identified by another Participant. Google will then verify that the |
| 61 Issue is reproducible. If so, that Issue will become a Verified |
| 62 Issue. Finally, the Participant will submit a Summary of up to his |
| 63 or her top ten best Issues that were submitted on the <a class="reference extern
al" href="http://code.google.com/p/nativeclient/issues/list">Native |
| 64 Client Issue Tracker</a>. Since it is |
| 65 possible that an Issue may not be verified until after the Contest |
| 66 End Date, if a Participant includes such an Issue in their Summary |
| 67 and such Issue is not ultimately verified, then that Issue will not |
| 68 be considered to be part of the Summary.</p> |
| 69 <p>Prizes will be awarded to those Participants who submit the best |
| 70 Summaries as determined in the sole discretion of the Judges when |
| 71 considering the Judging Criteria described herein.</p> |

| 86 </li> |
| 87 <li><p class="first">Definitions</p> |
| 88 <p>Throughout these Terms, Google will use the following defined terms |
| 89 and words. Please review them carefully to ensure you understand.</p> |
| 90 <ol class="arabic simple"> |
| 91 <li>Covert Channel Attack: A “Covert Channel Attack” means an |
| 92 attempt to manipulate certain properties of a communications |
| 93 medium in an unexpected, unconventional, or unforeseen way in |
| 94 order to transmit information through the medium without |
| 95 detection by anyone other than the entities operating the covert |
| 96 channel. Exploits that are Covert Channel Attacks are excluded |
| 97 from the Contest.</li> |
| 98 <li>Exploit: An “Exploit” means a sequence of steps that require and |
| 99 use Native Client to produce or have the potential to produce |
| 100 behavior prohibited by Native Client’s security policies and |
| 101 design which can be found at |
| 102 <a class="reference external" href="http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/native_client
/trunk/src/native_client/README.html">http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/native_clie
nt/trunk/src/native_client/README.html</a>. |
| 103 Google reserves the right to modify the security policies and |
| 104 design at any time. An example of an Exploit would be producing |
| 105 file system or network access outside of the scope of |
| 106 permissible use via JavaScript in a browser. An Exploit that |
| 107 defeats one but not all Native Client security measures is still |
| 108 considered to produce behavior prohibited by Native Client’s |
| 109 security policies for the purposes of this Contest and would be |
| 110 entitled to be identified as an Exploit in the Contest.</li> |
| 111 <li>Inner Sandbox: The “Inner Sandbox” means the Native Client |
| 112 security system that a) inspects executables before running them |
| 113 to try to detect the potential for an executable to produce |
| 114 prohibited behavior, and b) prevents from running any |
| 115 executables that are detected to have the potential to produce |
| 116 prohibited behavior.</li> |
| 117 <li>Issue: An “Issue” means an entry of a single Exploit by a |
| 118 Participant into the <a class="reference external" href="http://code.google.com/
p/nativeclient/issues/list">Native Client Issue Tracker</a> using a |
| 119 properly filled out Security Contest Template. Once the Exploit |
| 120 has been properly entered it becomes an Issue.</li> |
| 121 <li>Native Client Issue Tracker: The “Native Client Issue Tracker” |
| 122 is located at |
| 123 <a class="reference external" href="http://code.google.com/p/nativeclient/issues
/list">http://code.google.com/p/nativeclient/issues/list</a>. It is a web |
| 124 application that manages and maintains a list of Issues, |
| 125 including Issues that are not eligible for contest entry.</li> |
| 126 <li>Native Client Version Number: The “Native Client Version Number” |
| 127 is defined as the number between the platform name (separated by |
| 128 an ‘_’) and the file extension (separated by a ‘.’) in t
he |
| 129 Native Client download. For example, if the the filename of the |
| 130 download on the Native Client download page is |
| 131 “nacl_linux_0.1_32_2009_01_16.tgz” or |
| 132 “nacl_windows_0.1_32_2009_01_16.zip”, the Version Number is |
| 133 “0.1_32_2009_01_16”.</li> |
| 134 <li>Outer Sandbox: The “Outer Sandbox” means the Native Client |
| 135 security system that 1) observes executables while they are |
| 136 running to detect the attempts at prohibited behavior and 2) |
| 137 terminates misbehaving executables if it observes any attempts |
| 138 to produce prohibited behavior.</li> |
| 139 <li>Participant: A “Participant” means any individual or team of |
| 140 individuals that has agreed to these Terms, meets the |
| 141 eligibility criteria described below, and is participating in |
| 142 the Contest.</li> |
| 143 <li>Side Channel Attack: A “Side Channel Attack” means any attack |
| 144 based on information gained as a side-effect of the |
| 145 implementation of a cryptosystem, rather than brute force or |
| 146 theoretical weaknesses in the algorithms. For example, attacks |
| 147 that use timing information, power consumption variation, |
| 148 electromagnetic leaks or sound to obtain information illicitly |
| 149 are side channel attacks. Exploits that are Side Channel Attacks |
| 150 are excluded from the Contest.</li> |
| 151 <li>Summary: A “Summary” means the final electronic document |
| 152 complying with the requirements of Section X that each |
| 153 Participant must submit in order to participate in the |
| 154 Contest. A Summary may contain up to 10 Issues. If Issues do not |
| 155 ultimately become Verified Issues, they will not be considered |
| 156 as part of the Summary and Participant understands and accepts |
| 157 the risk that if the Participant identified an Issue on a |
| 158 Summary that had not yet been verified, that Issue will not be |
| 159 considered as part of the Summary if not subsequently verified.</li> |
| 160 <li>Verified Issue: A “Verified Issue” means an Exploit that has |
| 161 been a) submitted to the <a class="reference external" href="http://code.google.
com/p/nativeclient/issues/list">Native Client Issue Tracker</a> in |
| 162 accordance with these Terms, and b) confirmed by the Native |
| 163 Client team at Google to exhibit the behavior described in the |
| 164 Issue report.</li> |

all |
| 446 submitted Summaries will be judged by one of at least three |
| 447 panels with a minimum of three experts in the field of online |
| 448 security (“Judges”) on each panel. Judges will evaluate each |
| 449 Summary in accordance with the Judging Criteria described |
| 450 below. Each panel will evaluate a number of the submitted |
| 451 Summaries using the Judging Criteria described below and will |
| 452 select the highest ranking Summaries to move to the next level |
| 453 of judging. During the first round of judging, each panel will |
| 454 select no more than ten Summaries to move forward to the second |
| 455 round of judging unless there is a tie between or among any |
| 456 Participants. During the second round of judging, those |
| 457 Summaries selected during the first round of judging will then |
| 458 be evaluated by all Judges using the below Judging Criteria and |
| 459 the top five Summaries will be selected as potential |

| 461 </li> |
| 462 <li><p class="first">Judging Criteria. The Judges will consider each Summary und
er |
| 463 following judging criteria (“Judging Criteria”):</p> |
| 464 <ol class="loweralpha"> |
| 465 <li><p class="first">Quality of Exploit. Quality will be decided by the Judges i
n |
| 466 their sole discretion and will be based on (in order of |
| 467 importance to the Judges) Severity, Scope, Reliability and |
| 468 Style.</p> |
| 469 <ol class="lowerroman"> |
| 470 <li><p class="first">Severity: the more disruptive the effects of the |
| 471 Exploit, the higher its quality. Here is a |
| 472 non-exhaustive ranking of the most common Exploits |
| 473 starting from ‘minor’ to ‘severe’:</p> |
| 474 <ul class="small-gap"> |
| 475 <li><p class="first">Browser crash;</p> |
| 476 </li> |
| 477 <li><p class="first">Denial of service or machine crash;</p> |
| 478 </li> |
| 479 <li><p class="first">Compromise of the Outer Sandbox;</p> |
| 480 </li> |
| 481 <li><p class="first">Information leak (such as of a cookie or password);</p> |
| 482 </li> |
| 483 <li><p class="first">Compromise of both the Inner and Outer Sandbox; and/or</p> |
| 484 </li> |
| 485 <li><p class="first">Prohibited side effect (such as reading or writing |
| 486 files to the client machine), escalation of privilege |
| 487 (such as executing other programs outside of Native |
| 488 Client).</p> |
| 489 </li> |
| 490 </ul> |
| 491 <p>Any Exploit that does not address the above elements |
| 492 will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and the |
| 493 severity of such Exploits will be determined solely at |
| 494 the Judge’s discretion.</p> |
| 495 </li> |
| 496 <li><p class="first">Scope: the more computers that an Exploit would |
| 497 potentially affect, the bigger its scope and therefore |
| 498 higher the quality of the Exploit. Consider the |
| 499 following:</p> |
| 500 <ul class="small-gap"> |
| 501 <li><p class="first">Exploits that affect all platforms supported by Native |
| 502 Client (where platform is defined as a browser, |
| 503 operating system and hardware combination) have higher |
| 504 quality than an Exploit specific to a particular |
| 505 platform.</p> |
| 506 </li> |
| 507 <li><p class="first">Exploits that require non-current or beta versions |
| 508 (historic or future) of hardware or software are lower |
| 509 quality.</p> |
| 510 </li> |
| 511 <li><p class="first">Exploits that rely on concurrent usage of other |
| 512 installed software or web content must make a |
| 513 compelling case about the likelihood of the |
| 514 prerequisite software or content being present, or |
| 515 they will be considered of lower quality.</p> |
| 516 </li> |
| 517 </ul> |
| 518 </li> |
| 519 <li><p class="first">Reliability: The more frequent or probable the |
| 520 occurrence identified by the Exploit, the more |
| 521 “reliable” it may be. Consider the following:</p> |
| 522 <ul class="small-gap"> |
| 523 <li><p class="first">Exploits that require uncommon software to be |
| 524 installed on the machine in order to function will be |
| 525 deemed to have lower quality.</p> |
| 526 </li> |
| 527 <li><p class="first">Entries that include Exploits that cannot be |
| 528 reproduced 100% of the time, but which can be |
| 529 reproduced a significant percentage of the time, will |
| 530 be deemed to have a lower quality to account for a |
| 531 lowered probability that the attack will succeed.</p> |
| 532 </li> |
| 533 </ul> |
| 534 </li> |
| 535 <li><p class="first">Style: Submissions that demonstrate exceptional style |
| 536 will receive a higher ranking. Factors that contribute |
| 537 to style include:</p> |
| 538 <ul class="small-gap"> |
| 539 <li><p class="first">Ingenuity in mechanism used to bypass security;</p> |
| 540 </li> |
| 541 <li><p class="first">Uniqueness of the Exploit;</p> |
| 542 </li> |
| 543 <li><p class="first">Ingenuity in methods used to discover vulnerabilities; |
| 544 and/or Minimal size of Exploit to achieve the effect.</p> |
| 545 </li> |
| 546 </ul> |
| 547 </li> |
| 548 </ol> |
| 549 </li> |
| 550 <li><p class="first">the Quantity of Exploits: Participants that submit more |
| 551 Exploits in their Summary (but no more than 10) may receive |
| 552 a higher ranking, weighted by quality. However, it is still |
| 553 possible that a Participant who submits one Exploit could |
| 554 still outweigh a Participant that submits several Exploits.</p> |
| 555 </li> |
| 556 </ol> |
| 557 <p>Considering each of the factors described above, the Judges will |
| 558 give each Summary a “Score” from 1-10 that represents the Judges |
| 559 evaluation of the Summary. This “score” will determine which |
| 560 participants move from the first round of judging to the second |
| 561 round of judging, and which participants will be selected as a |
| 562 winner.</p> |
| 563 </li> |
| 564 <li><p class="first">Winner Selection</p> |
| 565 <p>Judges will review the Summaries as discussed in the “Judging” |
| 566 section, above. The Summaries with the five (5) highest scores |
| 567 will be selected as potentially winning Participants. In the |
| 568 event of a tie ranking for two or more Summaries, the |
| 569 Participant whose Summary had the highest ranking for “Severity” |
| 570 will receive the higher prize. In the event of a second tie, the |
| 571 Participant whose Summary had the highest ranking for “Scope” |
| 572 will receive the higher prize. Odds of winning depend on the |
| 573 number of eligible entries received and the skill of the |
| 574 Participants.</p> |
| 575 <p>The Judges are under no obligation to provide feedback on their |
| 576 decisions or on their judgment on specific Exploits they |
| 577 consider.</p> |

| 580 <p>A special note about the prize distribution process for |
| 581 Participants who are entering as part of a team:</p> |
| 582 <p>A single member of each team shall be designated to receive the |
