Past Events

The Computer Security Foundations Symposium is an annual conference for researchers in computer security, to examine current theories of security, the formal models that provide a context for those theories, and techniques for verifying security. It was created in 1988 as a workshop of the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Security and Privacy, in response to a 1986 essay by Don Good entitled "The Foundations of Computer Security - We Need Some." The meeting became a "symposium" in 2007, along with a policy for open, increased attendance.

Building on the success of ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security (CCS) and ACM Transactions on Information and System Security (TISSEC), the ACM Special Interest Group on Security, Audit, and Control (SIGSAC) formally established the annual ACM Symposium on InformAtion, Computer and Communications Security (ASIACCS). The inaugural ASIACCS was held in Taipei (2006). Since then ASIACCS has been held in Singapore (2007), Tokyo (2008), and Sydney (2009).

ASIACCS 2010 is the fifth conference of the series, and will be held in Beijing, China.

Welcome to ACSAC's 25th Year Anniversary - we have a great program lined up this year, and I'm really excited about it!

First, we have a tremendous line-up of speakers: Lorrie Cranor and Mary Ann Davidson are our invited speakers, and Li Gong and Matt Bishop will present on classic papers, and we have added a special lunch speaker, Peter Neumann.

The 2009 Internet Measurement Conference is a three day event focusing on Internet measurement and analysis, following on the successes of eight previous Internet Measurement Workshops and Conferences.

The conference will be held in the Downtown Hyatt Hotel in Chicago, which is within walking distance to many of the city's the most famous venues including the Art Institute, Navy Pier, the Field Museum, Grant Park and others.

The 9th Privacy Enhancing Technologies Symposium will bring together anonymity and privacy experts from around the world to discuss recent advances and new perspectives in privacy for the Internet and other communication networks.

The symposium seeks submissions from academia and industry presenting novel research on all theoretical and practical aspects of privacy technologies, as well as experimental studies of fielded systems. We encourage submissions from other communities such as law and business that present their perspectives on technological issues.

The Theory of Cryptography deals with the paradigms, approaches and techniques used to conceptualize, define and provide solutions to natural cryptographic problems. Research in this area includes:

Anaheim was a perfect location - they supplied excellent facilities at the Sheraton Park hotel, great weather and even fireworks (well, in Disneyland, but we could see them from our hotel every night).

The conference week started with 4 full-day and 2 half-day tutorials held on Monday-Tuesday - they were well attended and highly educational (not to mention the continued education credits they offered as well). The Virtualization Security workshop on Tuesday was packed - both in terms of most recent information from leading experts and in terms of audience.

The 2008 Internet Measurement Conference is a two and a half day event focusing on Internet measurement and analysis, following on the successes of seven previous Internet Measurement Workshops and Conferences.

The conference will be held in the Hotel Margi in Vouliagmeni, a seaside resort 30 minutes away from the city centre and airport of Athens, in Greece.

The fourth Symposium on Usable Privacy and Security (SOUPS) was held July 23-25, 2008 at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA. This symposium brought together an interdisciplinary group of researchers and practitioners in human computer interaction, security, and privacy. The program featured technical papers, workshops and tutorials, a poster session, panels and invited talks, and discussion sessions.

All of us depend upon computers in our everyday lives. But, as the complexity of computer-based systems and networks grows, it is ever more challenging to provide resilience to malicious attacks, accidental faults, design errors, and unexpected operating conditions. Beyond that, such systems are increasingly trusted to provide safety, confidentiality, and near-continuous operation.
