IPA Spring Days on Security

Kapellerput, Heeze,
April 18-20, 2001

Security

Nowadays, computer security problems are front-page news. Viruses like ILOVEYOU and denial of service attacks create problems on a worldwide scale. These problems not only cause immediate economic damage, but also impede the introduction of new Internet technologies and make consumers wary to embrace web-based products and services. The ICT community struggles with the question of how to solve these problems without losing the benefits of the ever-increasing connectivity.

It has become clear that security is not an add-on feature, but a fundamental aspect which has to be taken into account all the way through the software development process. As such, it is becoming an extensive research topic, ranging over many traditional areas in computer science. In IPA, security is emerging as a research topic in areas of formal methods, algorithmics, and software technology. It challenges existing techniques and methods, and raises interesting new questions. In industrial practice security is not a recent issue, there a wealth of experience has been acquired in protecting all kinds of applications. The Lentedagen aim to show both sides of the coin by combining contributions from academia and industry.

The program was composed by Bart Jacobs (KUN) and Erik de Vink (TU/e).
