Computer System Security:
Is There Really a Threat?
Avi Rubin, AT&T Research
I'm often asked, "If we're so vulnerable, how come I don't hear about incidents
that often?" While I cannot answer that question, I can try to answer the
question of whether or not there is a threat. In this talk, I will look at some
historic and some more recent computer security incidents. How did the attacks
occur? Why did they succeed? What were the consequences? Could it have been
worse? We will look at security issues in existing systems and assess the level
of danger. Finally, I'll discuss what the best defenses are, and the steps we
can each take to secure our systems and data.

Watching the Waist
of IP
Steve Deering, Cisco Systems
The Internet protocol architecture has an hourglass shape: a wide variety of
applications and end-to-end (upper-layer) protocols are supported by a single,
"narrow" protocol called IP, which in turn rests upon a wide variety of network
and datalink (lower-layer) protocols. The Internet's enormous flexibility in
accommodating new transmission technologies and new applications, and its
ability to serve as the convergence platform for data, telephony, TV, and other
media, depend on this hourglass design. However, as the Internet has grown, the
waist of the hourglass has spread. In this talk, I review the evolution of the
IP layer of the Internet, discuss the consequences of the changes, and speculate
on the future shape of IP.

Implementing 3D
Workstation Graphics on PC UNIX Hardware
Daryll Strauss, Precision Insight
3D hardware for PCs has improved to the point that it is beginning to rival that
of traditional 3D graphics workstations. Providing these capabilities on
commodity hardware poses a number of difficult problems. For example, 3D
hardware has a voracious appetite for data, and commodity hardware is typically
not designed for secure multitasking. Precision Insight is working with a number
of vendors to provide completely open-source solutions to these problems under X
and Linux.
