The 7th annual NDSS Symposium brings together researchers, implementers,
and users of network and distributed system security technologies to
discuss today's important security issues and challenges.  The Symposium
provides a mix of technical papers and panel presentations that describe
promising new approaches to security problems that are practical and, to
the extent possible, have been implemented.  NDSS fosters the exchange of
technical information and encourages the Internet community to deploy
available security technologies and develop new solutions to unsolved
problems.
