Security Research Advances in 2009
Speaker(s): Konstantin Beznosov Abstract: This presentation reviews latest scientific conference reports on the cutting edge research in computer security. It presents and explains 2009 highlights from such top world annual research conferences as IEEE Symposium in Security and Privacy, ACM Conference in Computer and Communications Security (CCS), Symposium on Network and Distributed Systems Security (NDSS), Symposium on Usable Privacy and Security (SOUPS), ACM Symposium on Access Control Models and Technologies (SACMAT), New Security Paradigms Workshop (NSPW). For those who missed any of these venues in 2009, it provides an opportunity to catch up with the developments in the computer security technologies. The attendees will gain an understanding in the intuition behind latest technological advancements.
