Briefings: Windows Security
http://www.blackhat.com/html/win-usa-03/win-usa-03-cfp.html

Papers and presentations are now being accepted for The Black Hat 
Briefings: Windows Security 2003 event in Seattle, Washington, February 
26th to the 27th. Papers and requests to speak will be received and 
reviewed until December 15, 2003.

WHAT IS THE BLACK HAT BRIEFINGS: WINDOWS SECURITY?

The Black Hat Briefings Windows Security Briefings was created to focus 
specifically on the security issues created in the Windows environment. 
Many new technologies are included in the W2K and Windows XP family of 
operating systems, and they have security implications that need to be 
understood.

Because the issues surrounding W2K and XP security are so numerous, a 
specific Black Hat conference has been created to explore them. Spanning 
two days with three separate tracks, this conference will explore in 
greater detail the technologies, tools, and techniques needed by system 
administrators to stay on the cutting edge.

What makes Black Hat Windows Security 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.

CFP and convention details.
