The Advance Program for the
Annual Computer Security Applications Conference (ACSAC) is scheduled for December 5,
2005 at the Marriott University Park, Tucson, Arizona. This year's program offers practical solutions to
cyber security problems. To find out more visit http://www.acsac.org.
There is a new and exciting format this year. On Monday, December 5
there will be 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.
The length of the technical program has been extended to three full
days to bring new momentum into the conference. To accommodate the record number of high-quality submissions received, two
more sessions for peer-reviewed technical papers has been added, and the technical track review-process was revised to ensure that technical papers with high practical impact are accepted. This year there are 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, there will be 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.
The location of the ACSAC web site has changed, and the postal and email lists need to be rebuilt. Please go to http://www.acsac.org/list/ even if you have signed up previous, so that you can receive
up-to-date information. Because ACSAC is rebuilding the lists, for a
short while, you may receive more than one message about ACSAC.
(They apologize for the inconvenience.)
ACSAC is sponsored by Applied Computer Security Associates, a
not- for-profit, all-volunteer Maryland corporation. The postal
address is 2906 Covington Road, Silver Spring, MD 20910-1206.
