Essendo l'universita' un luogo pubblico, vi segnalo (pubblicamente) un seminario che ci sara' mercoledi' prossimo alla facolta' di Scienze a Trento. Non pensate che sia ironico a sottolineare un seminario che parla di sicurezza tenuto da uno di M$ (sembra ridicolo, lo so ;-), perche' in realta' il professore in questione lavora per "M$ Research", che e' abbastanza differente da M$ azienda (anche se ne e' una sua parte). Sicuramente sara' un seminario teorico; non penso che si parlera' di prodotti. Ciao Emanuele P.S.: se ci fossero variazioni sull'orario vi avviso. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Università di Trento - Dipartimento di Informatica e Telecomunicazioni ICT DEPARTMENT SEMINAR SERIES TITLE: Why security is difficult - why security is different SPEAKER: Prof. Dieter Gollmann (Microsoft Research Europe) DATE: Wed. 10 April 2002 - 14:30-15:30 PLACE: Aula Seminari di Matematica, Dipartimento di Informatica e Telecomunicazioni, via Sommarive 14, POVO (Trento) ABSTRACT: Security research has its roots in the early days of the computing industry. However, we find that security poses one of the major challenges to software engineering today, so we could treat security still as an 'unsolved' problem. In this talk, I will discuss general causes of problems related to security and point to aspects where security is different from other areas of software engineering in an attempt to explain today's security situation. ABOUT THE SPEAKER: Dieter Gollmann is leader of the Computer Security group at Microsoft Research and editor-in-chief of the International Journal on Information Security. Before joining Microsoft, he received his Dipl.-Ing. in Engineering Mathematics and Dr. techn. (1984) from the University of Linz, Austria, where he was a research assistant in the Department for System Science. He then joined Royal Holloway College (University of London) as a Lecturer in Computer Science, moved on to the University of Karlsruhe, where he was awarded the venia legendi for computer science in 1991, and returned to Royal Holloway where he was promoted to a readership in 1992 and to Professor of Computer Science in 1997. He was Visiting Professor at the Technical University of Graz in 1991 and Adjunct Professor at the Information Security Research Centre, QUT, Brisbane, in 1995. His research interests in Information Security include finite field theory, design and analysis of cryptographic protocols, and the design of secure systems. -- Per iscriversi (o disiscriversi), basta spedire un messaggio con SOGGETTO "subscribe" (o "unsubscribe") a mailto:linuxtrent-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
