Keynote: Past, Present, and Future: Understanding Where the Puck is Going

Abstract: If all of the hackers and cybercriminals were joined into a single company, it would be one of the largest, most profitable and fastest growing companies in the world! Unfortunately, this phenomenal growth of cybercrime is putting our national infrastructure, commerce engine, and physical & digital lives at risk.  Governments around the world have an even tougher job as they must continue critical missions affecting national security matters while constantly under cyber security fire from borderless enemies.

After touching upon a brief history of cyber security, this session will discuss the most notable and disturbing trends that we are witnessing today.  It will then gaze into a crystal ball to understand the issues we as a society and security industry must tackle to proactively secure our digital future.

Securing the AF Internet

Abstract: The AF is in the midst of an unprecedented modernization of its 850,000-user, global, data and voice network.  The desired end-state is "One AF, One Network," which provides the backbone for networked operations and delivers mission assurance 24/7.  Though there has been much recent success, the road remains full of potholes and speedbumps.  Where does the AF stand today with this modernization effort and what lies ahead?  How should industry position themselves to provide network security for the AF in the future?

Applying a Holistic Defense-in-Depth Approach to The Cloud (with a Dash of Application Security Thrown In)

Abstract: Lyons will present how to secure the Cloud, regardless of Cloud type.  It will feature the Northrop Grumman Cyber Security architecture model “The FAN™”, a layered cybersecurity defensive technology reference model along with “CyCape™” a cyber capability reference model. These reference models serve as a baseline for customers to build a secure architecture in the cloud that will keep data safe.  Lyons will outline how applying the cybersecurity “FAN™” to a Hybrid cloud architecture provides a much stronger security environment than would otherwise be possible. The approach is based on years of cybersecurity experience with government customers within the Department of Defense, intelligence community and federal marketplace.  Lyons will also discuss how to secure applications in the cloud/data center, using Commercial-Off-The-Shelf solutions (coupled with the right procedures) that will transform once vulnerable applications into bastions of safe, secure IT services.

Threat intelligence for proactive network security - State-of-the-art and upcoming novel techniques

Abstract: Threat intelligence based on network analytics has emerged to become the proactive security layer complimenting signature-based systems.  Predictably, there are a variety of different approaches to gathering and distributing threat intelligence, and plenty of functional gaps. Tyson will speak about threat intelligence as it exists now and future techniques real-time information sharing and distribution.  This talk will touch on multiple level of detail, from ISO standard efforts in this area to new, novel technical solutions.

A Computer Forensics View of P2P and File Sharing

Abstract: Although access to digital data is ubiquitous to everyday business life, P2P and file sharing applications can pose serious problems from a risks and information security standpoint. Often, when a legal issue arises where such information transfer modalities are involved, the lines between simple possession, knowledgeable possession, and intent to possess may become blurred, leaving companies and their employees open to serious and costly liabilities. This talk will also overview some of the caveats that IT and computer security professionals should keep in mind when they are dealing with computers that could contain potential evidence material. Managers and IT staff will benefit from learning about the ways that computer forensics involves much more than simply recovering and reviewing files found on electronic media. Issues related to triage processes, chain-of-custody, and the Federal Rules of Evidence will be described in detail, using illustrative examples from actual casework.

Keynote: A tale of two networks (2020)

Abstract: Computer networks have become indispensable parts of the infrastructure, which means that people only notice them when they do not work. However, the next few years are likely to bring a number of fundamental changes to deployed networks: For example, after 150 years, the circuit-switched telephone system will largely fade into the far edges of the network, along with over-the-air TV. Two visions of IP networks are likely to struggle for supremacy: on the one hand, the network assumed by most researchers - open, IPv6, application-neutral, subject to provider competition and offering ample capacity. However, we may see instead IP networks with dedicated functionality, with charges depending on the content carried and controlled by a very small number of vertically-integrated providers that own all components, from the fiber and spectrum, to the entertainment video content carried on the network. The talk will also reflect on the Open Internet debate and the challenges of severely limited spectrum in most urban areas.

Alice, Bob, and Eve get Physical: Perspectives on Introducing Physical Contexts into Securing the Future Internet

Abstract: Although traditional security solutions, i.e. cryptographic protocols that work in isolation, are an essential step to understanding how to secure networks, they do not represent a holistic approach. Just as there are significant performance gains to be achieved when combining information from multiple layers to build improved MAC and routing functions, so too is there the potential to significantly improve the security of the future Internet by considering cross-layer approaches to security. The network modality that promises the most opportunities for cross-layer design is wireless. Physical properties, outside the normal purview of the network, such as the device itself, or the location of communicating entities, or even the physical properties of the signals being transmitted, can serve as cross-layer information for enhanced security. In this talk, we will examine the use of cross-layer mechanisms that pull information from the device, from location, and from the physical layer itself to open up a new frontier for security design.

Keynote: Dynamic Spectrum Access Wireless Networking

Abstract: Dynamic spectrum access (DSA) wireless networking and related spectrum policy issues are gaining global importance. Academic research, industry, standards bodies and government regulations play an inter-related and profound role in shaping the challenges and opportunities in this topic. In this talk, we discuss some of the current and future research and technology issues in realizing DSA. Challenges at different layers of the network protocol stack, unique security issues and implementation challenges will also be outlined. We will conclude with the implications of these issues on wireless communications standards (e.g., IEEE 802.22, LTE).

Evolution of mobility in future wireless networks

Abstract: With an ever increasing appetite for data over wireless networks, one is forced to think where the additional capacity to carry the traffic in the wireless networks comes from? Some would argue that additional spectrum needs to be made available or a substantial increase in spectral efficiency has to come by. However, not withstanding the above, an additional area that has important implications is to evolve seamless and non-seamless session mobility across disparate access technologies such as WiFi. Similarly, selective handover of specific flows across smaller cells such as Femto and Pico cells of the same access technology will have an impact on the overall capacity of the network.
