BLACK HAT BRIEFINGS CALL FOR PAPERS

Hello Info Sec News readers, I would like to announce Black Hat's 2004
initial call for papers!  If you plan on submitting a paper, please
read the full CFP which can be located at
http://www.blackhat.com/html/bh-usa-04/bh-usa-04-cfp.html

The Black Hat Briefings was created to fill the need for computer
security professionals to better understand the security risks to
information infrastructures and computer systems.

What makes Black Hat Briefings different? The speakers. We select the
speakers that are doing unique research, writing the security tools,
or finding the bugs. No vendor pitches. Just straight talk from people
who are experts in their chosen field of study.

If you have original research, new tools, or a fresh perspective on an
old problem, we encourage you to submit a presentation.  By presenting
at the Black Hat Briefings you have the opportunity to both influence
your peers and to contribute to the advancement of the state of the
art.  We are striving to create a high-end technical conference and
any talk that helps reach this goal will be given extra attention.

Topics of discussion will include zero day attacks and defenses,
forensics, log analysis, physical security, privacy, anonymity, and
application security.  New for 2004, the there will be a "Turbo Talks"  
track that will consist of 20 minute talks covering subjects that do
not require a full length presentation slot. Topics can range widely,
and there are no specific guidelines for what must be included.

Please do not wait to submit.  Presentations are selected and
evaluated in the order received.
