Computer Security 2001 will be an event for all the people who are involved in the use, design and administration of computer systems. DISC 2001 is an annual world-wide celebration led by ACM (Association for Computing Machinery). Since 1994, Mexico has participated of this celebration through the Computer Security Department (DSC-UNAM, www.seguridad.unam.mx) and UNAM-CERT (www.unam-cert.unam.mx). This year, DISC 2001 will take place along with Computer Security 2001 on November 30th. The community is invited to participate in Computer Security 2001 through the presentation of theoretical, technical, and applied works as well as those that present practical experiences in the following topics (but not limited to them): * Electronic commerce o Certification o Digital cash o New protocols o Secure transactions o New technologies * New firewall technologies o Hybrids FW o New generations of FW * World Wide Web security o Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) o Secure schemes * Legislation about Computer Security o Advances in legislation 1999-2000 o Regulation of domain names o Copyright and industrial property * Network security o New network technology applied to security (ATM, Fast Ethernet) o Router security * Cluster security * Software development security * Distributed systems security * Database security * Security of agents and multi-platform languages * Incident response teams * Computer security incident handling, prevention and coordination * Administrative and legal issues on incident handling * Software protection and intellectual property * New tools for incident handling * Intrusion detection * Computer attacks * Privacy and cryptography protocols * Security policies * Computer viruses * DDOS -------------------------------------------------- Who should attend ? * System administrators who are interested in Computer Security. * People working in the field of Computer Security who do handle Computer Security incidents. * Anybody who is interested in Computer Security and wants to meet another interested people.
