ANNOUNCEMENT/CALL FOR PAPERS

4th USENIX UNIX SECURITY SYMPOSIUM
October 4-7, 1993
Santa Clara Marriott Hotel
Santa Clara, California

Sponsored by the USENIX Association
In cooperation with:
The Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT)
and the ACM SIGSAC

The goal of this symposium is to bring together security practitioners, system
administrators, system programmers, and others with an interest in computer
security as it relates to networks and the UNIX operating system.

This will be a three and one-half day, single-track symposium.  The symposium
will consist of tutorials, refereed and invited technical presentations, and
panel sessions.  The first day will be devoted to tutorial presentations,
followed by two and one-half days of technical sessions.  There will also be two
evenings available for Birds-of-a-Feather sessions and Work-in-Progress
sessions.

TUTORIALS
October 4, 1993
This one-day tutorial program will feature two tutorials, designed to address
the needs of both management and technical attendees.  The tutorials will supply
overviews of various security mechanisms and policies.  Each will provide
specifics to the system and site administrator for implementing numerous local
and network security precautions, firewalls, and monitoring systems.

TECHNICAL SESSIONS
October 5-7, 1993
In addition to refereed paper presentations, the program will include invited
talks and panel sessions.  The program committee invites you to submit
proposals, ideas, or suggestions for these presentations 

Papers that have been formally reviewed and accepted will be presented during
the symposium and published in the symposium proceedings.  Symposium proceedings
will be distributed free to technical sessions attendees during the symposium
and after will be available for purchase from the USENIX Association.

Papers are being solicited in areas including but not limited to:
 o User/system authentication
 o File system security
