17th Annual Computer Security Applications Conference
December 10-14, 2001
New Orleans, Louisiana

Technical Program


Technical Program Features and Organization

Track A and B sessions consist of technical papers, panels, and fora. All technical papers have undergone an anonymous peer review process and describe the latest developments in security implementations and applications-oriented research. Panel sessions are tailored to stimulate discussion of today's pressing issues. The fora sessions provide different perspectives on a single topic of interest or report the results of implementation activities. Track C presentations allow providers of products and/or services an opportunity to describe the innovative ways in which their products or services are being used to implement secure systems. The Case Studies will include presentations on capabilities and applications of information security products to realistic civil, defense, and commercial problems. This track will feature system integrators, designer, and architects from the government and private sector. Displays will also be open on Wednesday during the evening reception and on Thursday during breaks between the sessions.
