CALL FOR PAPERS                     The Internet Society Symposium on                  Network and Distributed System Security          3-4 February 1994, Catamaran Hotel, San Diego, California  The symposium will bring together people who are building software and hardware to provide network or distributed system security services. The symposium is intended for those interested in practical aspects of network and distributed system security, rather than in theory.  Symposium proceedings will be published by the Internet Society.  Topics for the symposium include, but are not limited to, the following:  *  Design and implementation of services--access control, authentication,    availability, confidentiality, integrity, and non-repudiation    --including criteria for placing services at particular protocol layers.  *  Design and implementation of security mechanisms and support    services--encipherment and key management systems, authorization    and audit systems, and intrusion detection systems.  *  Requirements and architectures for distributed applications and    network functions--message handling, file transport, remote    file access, directories, time synchronization, interactive    sessions, remote data base management and access, routing, voice and    video multicast and conferencing, news groups, network management,    boot services, mobile computing, and remote I/O.  *  Special issues and problems in security architecture, such as    -- very large systems like the international Internet, and    -- high-speed systems like the gigabit testbeds now being built.  *  Interplay between security goals and other goals--efficiency,    reliability, interoperability, resource sharing, and low cost.  GENERAL CHAIR:    Dan Nessett, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory  PROGRAM CHAIRS:    Russ Housley, Xerox Special Information Systems    Rob Shirey, The MITRE Corporation  PROGRAM COMMITTEE:    Dave Balenson, Trusted Information Systems    Tom Berson, Anagram Laboratories    Matt Bishop, Dartmouth College    Ed Cain, U.S. Defense Information Systems Agency    Jim Ellis, CERT Coordination Center    Steve Kent, Bolt, Beranek and Newman    John Linn, Independent Consultant    Clifford Neuman, Information Sciences Institute    Michael Roe, Cambridge University    Rob Rosenthal, U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology    Jeff Schiller, Massachusetts Institute of Technology    Ravi Sandhu, George Mason University    Peter Yee, U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration  SUBMISSIONS:  The  committee seeks both original technical papers and proposals for panel discussions on technical and other topics of general interest.  Technical papers should be 10-20 pages in length.  Panels should include three or four speakers.  A panel proposal must name the panel chair, include a one-page topic introduction authored by the chair, and also include one-page position summaries authored by each speaker Both the technical papers and the panel papers will appear in the proceedings.  Submissions must be made by 16 August 1993.  Submissions should be made via electronic mail to                     1994symposium@smiley.mitre.org.  Submissions may be in either of two formats:  ASCII or PostScript.  If the committee is unable to read a PostScript submission, it will be returned and ASCII requested.  Therefore, PostScript submissions should arrive well before 16 August.  If electronic submission is absolutely impossible, submissions should be sent via postal mail to                     Robert W.
