Announcement and Call for Abstracts
As the use of computer networks, and in particular the Internet, has
increased, so has the potential threat to security. In the last
several years, we have seen numerous security-related attacks on
Netscape, Java, and the Internet protocols. New protocols and systems
for electronic commerce, secure financial transactions, and other
applications are being introduced, and are being deployed quickly, and
on a large scale. This workshop aims to bring together theorists and
practitioners working in areas related to network security in an
informal setting to foster discussion regarding the nature of the
threat and what we, as researchers, can do to help manage it.
This workshop will cover topics including, but not limited to:
- attacks on network security
- prevention/detection of attacks
- threat models
- threats to individual privacy
- risk management
- formal methods of security analysis
- political, legal, and social aspects of network security
INVITED TALKS:
Confirmed invited speakers (subject to change) include:
- Bill Cheswick (Bell Labs)
- Ed Felten (Princeton University)
- Peter G. Neumann (SRI International)
- Alexis Rosen (PANIX Public Access Networks Corporation)
Contributed Talks:
There is still room in the schedule for a few more talks. If you
would like to give a talk, please e-mail a 1-2 page abstract
(postscript or plain ASCII text) to Rebecca Wright at

publication in a DIMACS Volume.
