Forwarded from: ACSAC announce-admin <announce-admin@private> The 20th ACSAC Conference Committee is pleased to announce that the Advance Program for the 20th Annual Computer Security Applications Conference (ACSAC) is available at our web site at <http://www.acsac.org/>http://www.acsac.org. The conference for our 20th year will be held in Tucson, Arizona, USA, at the Hilton Tucson El Conquistador Golf & Tennis Resort from 6-10 December 2004. The Resort provides a comfortable setting - both indoors and outdoors - for meeting and discussing issues, lessons learned, and possible solutions with presenters, authors, tutorial instructors, and other Conference attendees. This year, the Conference will be providing 6 full-day, pre-conference tutorials for information security novices as well as experienced veterans: Monday, 6 December: - Information System Security Basics - Security Risk Assessment Techniques - Exploring IEEE 802.11i and Providing Secure Mobility Tuesday, 7 December: - Security Policy Modeling - The Worm and Virus Threats - Acquisition and Analysis of Large Scale Network Data. This year, the Conference will also be hosting two free, pre-conference workshops: - Monday, 6 December: Workshop on Security Awareness Programs - Tuesday, 7 December: Workshop on Trusted Computing We are pleased to have Steven B. Lipner, Director of Security Engineering Strategy at Microsoft Corporation, as our 2004 Distinguished Practitioner, and Rebecca Mercuri, a recognized expert and researcher in the field of electronic voting from the Radcliffe Institute of Advanced Study at Harvard University, as our 2004 Invited Essayist. We're sure that their plenary presentations on Wednesday and Thursday morning, respectively, will be of interest to attendees and no doubt inspire discussion during the Conference luncheons and the Thursday evening Conference Dinner. The ACSAC-20 Program (8 - 10 December) will include presentations of 35 refereed papers, a Classic Papers Session that revisits past issues that seem to persist today - "A1 is the Answer: What Was the Question?" and "A Look Back at "Security Problems in the TCP/IP Protocol Suite," 16 Case Studies, 2 panels, and 1 debate. Be sure to check out our web site for details not only about the presentations, workshops, and tutorials but also about the Resort and early Conference and Resort registration discounts. http://www.acsac.org _________________________________________ Donate online for the Ron Santo Walk to Cure Diabetes - http://www.c4i.org/ethan.html
