List of SC conferences (v 1.0)

Secure Coding conference list (last update: 2004.02.23.KRvW)

Thanks to everyone that sent me contributions.  As promised, here's a list of 
conferences (in no particular order) where the focus is on Secure Coding 
practices and/or contain more than a simple "passing interest" in software 
security.  I've no doubt missed some (many!); if you'd like to add to the 
list, please let me know via email at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Updates and additions 
will be welcomed on an ongoing basis.  I'll also get the list up on 
http://securecoding.org shortly. 

Cheers,
