WHAT IS THE BLACK HAT BRIEFINGS?

The Black Hat Briefings fills the need for computer security
professionals to better understand the security risks and potential
threats to their information infrastructures and computer systems.
Black Hat accomplishes this by assembling a group of vendor-neutral
security professionals and having them present candidly about the
problems businesses face and their solutions to those problems. No
gimmicks -- just straight talk by people who make it their business to
explore the ever-changing security space.

This year there will be two days of training on select topics, followed 
by two days of the Briefings - each day with two tracks of speakers!

We are looking for presentations on the following topics:

- The European perspective on Privacy, Annoniminity, or DRM issues.

- Infrastructure security issues surrounding SQL, PKI, AD, or other 
  enterprise deployments.

- Interesting security issues surrounding mobile Symbian, WinCE, Palm, and 
  Java devices.

- Smart Cards, IKeys, TCA, and the issues of increasing your assurance 
  through trusted hardware.

- Security issues surrounding patch management, the mobile user, and policy..

- Inside out attacks, where the threat becomes the internal user who 
  has run malicious code.

- Techniques and technologies to help defend against 0-Day attacks.

- 0-Day attacks. What is the current cutting edge of attack research 
  and bug finding techniques?
