The goal of Computer Security 99 (DISC 99) is to create awareness in
the computer user community about security strategies and mechanisms
used to protect information.

For the second consecutive year the DISC takes place alongside the
most important computing event of Mexico, the computing general
congress Computo.99@mx (http://www.computo99.unam.mx/), and invites
specialists in computer security to participate.

"Working Together" is the slogan for this year's event, suggesting
that security in the organization can only exist and be increased with
the work of all the people in the organization, including users,
management and security personnel.

The community is invited to participate in the DISC 99 event through
the presentation of theoretical, technical, and applied works and
those who presents practical experience in the following topics (but
not limited to them):

  @ > Electronic commerce

	- Certification
	- Digital cash
	- New protocols
	- Secure transactions

  @ > New Firewall technologies
  @ > World Wide Web security

	- Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)

  @ > Network security
  @ > Security for software developers	
  @ > Security in distributed systems and data bases
  @ > Security in agents and multi-platform languages
  @ > Incident response teams
  @ > Computer security incident handling, prevention and coordination
  @ > Administrative and legal issues in the incident handling
  @ > Software protection and intellectual property
  @ > New tools for incident handling
  @ > Attacks and intrusion detection
  @ > Computer attacks
  @ > Privacy and cryptography protocols
  @ > Security policies

There will be tutorial-style presentations during October 4 and 5.
October 6, 7 and 8 will consist of conference papers and workshop-style
presentations, as well as business sessions.

Two evenings are allocated for participants to hold events devoted to
subjects of particular interest ("birds of a feather" sessions).

Contributions should follow the following guidelines:

1. Tutorials:      Half or full day tutorial proposals will be
		   considered.

2. Papers:         Written papers may be as long as desired, but
                   presentations must be limited to 30 minutes.

3. Workshops:      These informal sessions should either follow a more
                   "hands-on" approach or provide for a high degree of
                   audience participation. They should be tailored to
                   address specific issues and should be from 60 to 90
		   minutes in duration. Panel Sessions on a particular
		   topic are also acceptable.
