INVITATION FROM THE PROGRAM CHAIR

Niels Provos Dear Colleague,

I'm pleased to invite you to attend the 16th USENIX Security Symposium. Computer security today advances at an exceptional rate, as both its operational relevance and the tension between attackers and defenders continue to grow. This symposium offers cutting-edge research on topics that range from Web-based detection through memory performance attacks.

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

  • TCP/IP Weapons School
  • Live Forensics
Experts such as Richard Bejtlich, Dan Geer, Frank Adelstein, and Golden G. Richard 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 Steven Levy, a senior editor and columnist at Newsweek, on "How the iPod Shuffled the World as We Know It."

The Invited Talks cover a number of timely topics, including:

  • "Windows Vista Content Protection," by Peter Gutmann, University of Auckland, New Zealand
  • "Exploiting Online Games," by Gary McGraw, Cigital
  • And more . . .
The 23 refereed papers present the best new research in a variety of subject areas, including privacy, cellular network security, and authentication.

Join colleagues with similar interests for thought-provoking discussions at the evening Birds-of-a-Feather sessions. Get a preview of next year's news or present your own new work and get audience feedback at the Work-in-Progress Reports and Poster Session.

Whether you're a researcher, a system administrator, or a policy wonk, come to the 16th USENIX Security Symposium to find out how changes in computer security are going to affect you.
