Forwarded from: Lionel Garth Jones Join us in San Francisco, CA, August 8-12, 2011, for a week covering the latest research in the security of computer systems, networks, healthcare, electronic voting, and more. We know that keeping up with the latest advances in security can be costly and time-consuming. The 20th USENIX Security Symposium and the co-located workshops make it easier than ever to stay ahead of the game. The week includes: - USENIX Security '11: 20th USENIX Security Symposium Monday-Friday, August 8-12, 2011 http://www.usenix.org/events/sec11 The USENIX Security Symposium brings together researchers, practitioners, system administrators, system programmers, and others interested in the latest advances in the security of computer systems and networks. The 5-day program includes a Keynote Address by Charlie Stross, award-winning science fiction writer; refereed papers; invited talks; a tutorial program; poster session; and more. - EVT/WOTE '11:2011 Electronic Voting Technology Workshop/Workshop on Trustworthy Elections Monday-Tuesday, August 8-9, 2011 http://www.usenix.org/events/evtwote11 EVT/WOTE brings together researchers from a variety of disciplines, ranging from computer science and human-computer interaction experts through political scientists, legal experts, election administrators, and voting equipment vendors. - CSET '11: 4th Workshop on Cyber Security Experimentation and Test Monday, August 8, 2011 http://www.usenix.org/events/cset11 The focus of CSET is on the science of cyber security evaluation, as well as experimentation, measurement, metrics, data, and simulations as those subjects relate to computer and network security. Because of the complex and open nature of the subject matter, CSET '11 is designed to be a workshop in the traditional sense. Presentations will be interactive, with the expectation that a substantial amount of this time may be given to questions and audience discussion. - FOCI '11: USENIX Workshop on Free and Open Communications on the Internet Monday, August 8, 2011 http://www.usenix.org/events/foci11 The first USENIX Workshop on Free and Open Communications on the Internet (FOCI) seeks to bring together researchers and practitioners from both technology and policy who are working on policies or technologies to detect or circumvent practices that inhibit free and open communications on the Internet. - WOOT '11: 5th USENIX Workshop on Offensive Technologies Monday, August 8, 2011 http://www.usenix.org/events/woot11 Progress in the field of computer security is driven by a symbiotic relationship between our understandings of attack and of defense. The USENIX Workshop on Offensive Technologies (WOOT) aims to bring together researchers and practitioners in systems security to present research advancing the understanding of attacks on operating systems, networks, and applications. - HealthSec '11: 2nd USENIX Workshop on Health Security and Privacy Tuesday, August 9, 2011 http://www.usenix.org/events/healthsec11 HealthSec is intended as a forum for lively discussion of aggressively innovative and potentially disruptive ideas on all aspects of medical and health security and privacy. The highly interactive workshop will combine posters and brief presentations by position paper authors, slightly longer talks by extended abstract authors, and panel discussions. - HotSec '11: 6th USENIX Workshop on Hot Topics in Security Tuesday, August 9, 2011 http://www.usenix.org/events/hotsec11 HotSec is renewing its focus by placing singular emphasis on new ideas and problems. HotSec takes a broad view of security and privacy and encompasses research on topics including but not limited to large-scale threats, network security, hardware security, software security, physical security, programming languages, applied cryptography, privacy, human-computer interaction, emerging computing environment, sociology, and economics. - MetriCon 6.0: Sixth Workshop on Security Metrics Tuesday, August 9, 2011 http://www.securitymetrics.org/content/Wiki.jsp?page=Metricon6.0 Attendance at MetriCon 6.0 is by invitation only. Whether you're a researcher, a system administrator, or a policy wonk, come to the 20th USENIX Security Symposium and the co-located workshops to find out how changes in computer security are going to affect you.
