Dear Colleague,

I'm writing to remind you that the submissions deadline for the 18th
USENIX Security Symposium (USENIX Security '09) is quickly approaching.

administrators, system programmers,and others interested in the latest
advances in the security of computer systems and networks. This year's
Symposium will be held August 12-14 in Montreal, Canada.

Please submit all papers by February 4, 2009, 11:59 p.m. PST
http://www.usenix.org/sec09/cfpb/

The Program Committee seeks refereed paper submissions in all areas
relating to systems and network security, including:

* Adaptive security and system management
* Analysis of network and security protocols
* Applications of cryptographic techniques
* Attacks against networks and machines
* Authentication and authorization of users, systems, and applications
* Automated tools for source code analysis
* Botnets
* Cryptographic implementation analysis and construction
* Denial-of-service attacks and countermeasures
* File and filesystem security
* Firewall technologies
* Forensics and diagnostics for security
* Hardware security
* Intrusion and anomaly detection and prevention

Note that the USENIX Security Symposium is primarily a systems security
conference. Papers whose contributions are primarily new cryptographic
algorithms or protocols, cryptanalysis, electronic commerce primitives,
etc., may not be appropriate for this conference.
