Forwarded from: ACSAC Announcement List <announce-admin@private> I'm writing to encourage you to look at the Advance Program for the Annual Computer Security Applications Conference (ACSAC) at <http://www.acsac.org/>http://www.acsac.org. I've been involved with ACSAC for many years. I think that this year's program offers practical solutions to cyber security problems. The conference is scheduled for December 5-9, 2005 at the Marriott University Park, Tucson, Arizona. We have a new and exciting format this year. On Monday, December 5 we have a special workshop on Malicious Software (Prevention and Defense) plus tutorials on application security training, Common Criteria version 3, trust management, and defense against malicious software. We have extended the length of the technical program to three full days to bring new momentum into the conference; we added two more sessions for peer-reviewed technical papers to accommodate the fact that we received a record number of high-quality submissions, and we revised the technical track review-process to ensure that we accept technical papers with high practical impact. This year we are offering more choices to attendees, while keeping tried and true features such as plenary talks, classic papers, works in progress, and panels: Tuesday-Thursday, December 6-8, we have forty-five peer reviewed papers on practical computer security; presentations of security case studies; a new type of session, called 'technology blitz' is designed to offer rapid-fire introductions to emerging and mature security technologies and their applications; classic papers on the foundations of computer security, including David Bell reprising his Bell-LaPadula model; works in progress -- quick updates on ongoing projects; and Distinguished Practitioner Brian Snow and Invited Essayist Mary Ellen Zurko. On Friday, December 9 we have tutorials on analysis of large scale network data, security policy modeling, securing web service applications, and mobile security issues. ACSAC has changed where its web page is hosted. We have to rebuild our postal and email lists. Even if you have signed up previous, please go to http:// www.acsac.org/list/ so that you can receive up-to-date information. Because we're rebuilding the lists, for a short while, you may receive more than one message about ACSAC. We apologize for the inconvenience. -=- You can help ACSAC reach people who might benefit from this information. Feel free to forward this message with a personal note to your friends and colleagues. They can sign up at the above URL. ACSAC is sponsored by Applied Computer Security Associates, a not-for-profit all-volunteer Maryland corporation. Our postal address is 2906 Covington Road, Silver Spring, MD 20910-1206. _________________________________________ InfoSec News v2.0 - Coming Soon! http://www.infosecnews.org
