A cryptographic access control architecture secure against privileged attackers

摘要

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the First ACM Computer Security Architectures Workshop, held in association with the 14_th ACM Computer and Communications Security Conference, November 2_nd in Fairfax, Virginia (USA). >The call for papers attracted 30 submissions from Asia, Australia, Canada, Europe, South America, and the United States--with authors from 14 different countries. The program committee accepted 9 papers that cover a variety of topics, including side channel attacks, cryptography and authorization systems, authentication, novel authorization systems. We are especially pleased to have a keynote speech by Professor Daniel J. Bernstein on Some Thoughts on Security After 10 Years of qmail 1.0. Qmail is in use at some two million sites, and its architecture is both novel and very efficient; for over 10 years now Professor Bernstein has offered a reward--as yet uncollected--for anyone who can find a security hole in qmail. We alsoare planning on having a panel on Distributed Authentication, the details of which are not available at press time. We hope that these proceedings will serve as a valuable reference for security researchers and developers. >The workshop was created because the design and evaluation of Security Architectures is of fundamental importance to security. And yet, as far as we know, this workshop is unique in its focus on Security Architectures. We hope that this workshop will help to crystallize work in Security Architectures.
