15th USENIX Security Symposium

Dear Colleague,

You're invited to join us at the 15th USENIX Security Symposium, July
31-August 4, 2006, in Vancouver, B.C, Canada. Computer security today
advances at an exceptional rate, as both its operational relevance and
the tension between attackers and defenders continue to grow. New
services, new systems, and new networking architectures continually add
new dimensions to the field and subvert previously held assumptions.
This symposium offers cutting-edge research on topics that range from
securing real systems through diagnosing the Net.

* The Security training program can help you learn the latest on topics
such as:

-- Understanding and Addressing the Threat of Internet Worms

-- TCP/IP Weapons School

-- RFID Security & Privacy

Experts such as Richard Bejtlich, Dan Geer, Vern Paxson, Stefan Savage,
Geoff Voelker, Nicholas Weaver and Abe Singer will give you the
information, techniques, tools, and strategies you need to practice
effective security today--and tomorrow.

* Don't miss the keynote address by former Senior White House Advisor,
Richard A. Clarke, Chairman, Good Harbor Consulting LLC.

* The Invited Talks cover a number of highly relevant topics including:

-- "Signaling Vulnerabilities in Law Enforcement Wiretapping Systems,"
by Matt Blaze, University of Pennsylvania

-- "Turing Around the Security Problem," by Crispin Cowan, Director of
Software Engineering, Novell

-- "DRM Wars: The Next Generation," by Ed Felten, Princeton University

-- "Surviving Moore's Law: Security, AI, and Last Mover Advantage," by
Paul Kocher, Cryptography Research

-- And more...

* The 22 refereed papers present the best new research in a variety of
subject areas, including intrusion detection, system assurance, static
analysis for security, and authentication.

* Join colleagues with similar interests for thought-provoking
discussions at the evening Birds-of-a-Feather sessions.

* Share a provocative opinion, interesting preliminary work, or a cool
idea that will spark discussion at the poster session. To submit a
poster, please send a one-page proposal, in PDF or PostScript, to
sec06posters@usenix.org by June 15, 2006.

* Get a preview of next year's news or present your own new work and get
audience feedback at the Work-in-Progress reports (WiPs). Speakers
should submit a one- or two-paragraph abstract to sec06wips@usenix.org
by 6:00 p.m. PDT on Wednesday, August 2, 2006.

Whether you're a researcher, a system administrator, or a policy wonk,
come to the 15th USENIX Security Symposium to find out how changes in
computer security are going to affect you. Please see

We look forward to seeing you in Vancouver, July 31-August 4, 2006.
