Abstract:
Join us for this online event; your opportunity to participate in a discussion with leading computer security expert Dr. Eugene Spafford, PhD. professor of computer science at Purdue University, a member of the President's Information Technology Advisory Committee 2003-2005, an advisor to the National Science Foundation (NSF), and an advisor to over a dozen other government agencies and major corporations.
Dr. Spafford will start with an initial presentation on how the very definition of computer security is poorly defined and not easily measurable. After that first presentation topic, we will present questions gathered earlier for the speaker to answer. A previous writeup that the speaker used for the initial presentation can be found at: https://www.cerias.purdue.edu/news_and_events/events/security_seminar/details/index/67ct64b544e02t412u8mivto5r
We will collect questions for Dr Spafford's second part of the meeting from the Zoom Chat functionality during the first part of the meeting during his initial presentation, so please come prepared to the meeting with those questions about computer security. Extra questions might be further collected during the second part of the meeting as we go along.
This should be an event of interest to everyone interested in computer security. Possible items of discussion might include access control systems, authentication, malware, viruses, authorization, firewalls, internet security, NAT and TCP and UDP hole punching, intrusion detection systems, mobile secure gateway are but a few of the areas that may be of interest.
