Hi!

        NAI Labs is sponsoring a Birds-Of-a-Feather (BOF) session at
the 2001 USENIX Annual Technical Conference to give members of this
community a chance to meet and discuss ideas in person.  Crispin Cowan
(WireX), Peter Loscocco (NSA), Amon Ott (RSBAC) and Robert Watson (NAI
Labs and the FreeBSD Project) have kindly agreed to kick off the
session with short presentations on their work.  The remainder of the
session will be a relatively informal event; the specific issues
addressed will be determined by the participants.  I'd like to invite
you all to attend.  The posted agenda is as follows:

    Representatives of several Linux and FreeBSD security projects
    will present their work and views on providing new support for
    kernel security extensions.  Presenters will include Crispin Cowan
    (WireX/Immunix), Peter Loscocco (NSA/SELinux), Amon Ott (RSBAC),
    and Robert Watson (NAI Labs/TrustedBSD).  A question and answer
    period will follow.  During this period, all participants will be
    free to introduce issues that they feel are of critical
    importance.  Likely topics of discussion include requirements for
    general policy support, the hook-based implementation efforts
    spawned by the 2001 Linux Kernel Summit, and the future of
    security in the FreeBSD and Linux kernels.

        This BOF should be one of several events of interest to this
community at the 2001 USENIX Annual Technical Conference.  There are
five technical sessions with "Security" in their titles.  In one of
these sessions, Stephen Smalley will be presenting a paper on the
NSA's Security-Enhanced Linux project, Robert Watson will be
presenting a paper on TrustedBSD, and I (Tim Fraser) will be
presenting a paper on LOMAC.  The conference is scheduled for 25-30
June 2001 in Boston, Massachusetts, USA.  The BOF will be from 8PM to
10PM on Thursday, 28 June.  More details can be found at
http://www.usenix.org/events/usenix01/ .  I hope to see you all there!

                       - Tim Fraser, NAI Labs
