The eBPF in-kernel virtual machine is
approaching its tenth anniversary as part of Linux; it has grown into a tool with many types of uses in the ecosystem. Alexei Starovoitov, who was the creator of eBPF and did much of the development of it, especially in the early going, gave the opening talk at Linux Security Summit Europe 2023 on the relationship between BPF and security.

Among other things, it shows how BPF has been both a security problem and a security solution along the way.
