> Title:  Exploring Grand Challenges in Trustworthy Computing
>   
> Speaker:  Dr. Eugene H. Spafford, Purdue University
>   
> Abstract:  
> We are presented with numerous challenges to make our information systems
> more secure, increase our confidence in our stored data, and protect the
> privacy of our personal information. However, under the steady barrage of
> attacks and flaws, it is sometimes difficult to think in terms of "big"
> challenges that can inspire us to make revolutionary, rather than
> evolutionary, strides.
> In this presentation I will discuss a few of the trends and problems that
> have been occupying researchers and industry over the last few years. I will
> explain why advances against these challenges are unlikely to provide
> long-term improvements in the security of our infrastructure. From this, I
> will then discuss the results of the recent CRA Grand Challenges conference
> on information security, including some discussion of how we might proceed
> to make progress on each of these four grand challenges.
> Dr. Eugene H. Spafford is a professor of Computer Sciences at Purdue
> University, where he also holds courtesy positions in the following
> departments: Philosophy, Communication, Electrical and Computer Engineering.
> He is the Executive Director of CERIAS - the Center for Education and
> Research in Information Assurance and Security - which is a campus-wide
> multi-disciplinary Center, with a broadly-focused mission to explore issues
> related to protecting information and information resources. 
> Dr. Spafford has written extensively about information security, cybercrime,
> software engineering, and professional ethics, and is a Fellow of the ACM,
> AAAS, and IEEE. He is also a member of the President's Information
> Technology Advisory Council.
