NDSS Symposium 2000
Network and Distributed System Security Symposium
Catamaran Resort Hotel
San Diego, California
2 February 2000 - Technical Tutorials
3-4 February 2000 - Symposium
Why You Should Attend
The use of the Internet is rapidly growing and expanding into all aspects of our
society. Commercial organizations are coming under increasing pressure to make their
services available on-line. This pressure, in turn, is increasing the need for rapid and
widespread deployment of usable and effective network and distributed system security
technologies. High visibility attacks on the Internet underscore the vulnerabilities of
the Internet and the need to solve its security problems. There is growing concern for
securing the network infrastructure itself. Recent trends in software distribution (such
as Java and ActiveX technologies) have made certain attacks easier to carry out. Privacy
has become an important issue for the Internet.
During this year’s Symposium, you will have the opportunity to actively participate
in the dialogue -- ask questions of the speakers, raise your important issues during the
panel sessions, and let other participants know of your requirements, observations, and
experience in this important area. We encourage the wide-scale deployment of security
technologies and promote new research that can address the currently unmet security needs
of the Internet community.
