[comp.org.acm] Security Symposium

chris@hypnos.calpoly.edu (The Squire, Phish) (04/30/91)

Announcing, "Unix and Networking Security"

Sunday, 12 May, 1991, 9:00AM - 5:00PM
California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo
Sponsored by Cal Poly Student Chapter, ACM

Featuring

  Eugene Spafford

    Computer security is more than preventing breakins. It also involvs 
    cleaning up after a breakin. CLeanup may involve restoration of the
    system, finding alterations and changes, determining disclosures,
    finding the cause of the breakin and fixing it, and initiating legal
    action.
    Dr. Spafford will discuss how to prepare for a breakin, and how to go
    about cleaning up a UNIX system adfter such a breakin has occured. He 
    will include material on common things to check for (backdoors, trojan
    horses, altered audit logs), and how to determine what needs to be done
    next.

  Pete Shipley

    With the advent of larger numbers of computers connected to networks,
    both local and internet, the problem of maintaining a secure environment
    becomes an increasingly larger and more complex job.
    "NetSweep" is a network security test sweep. The purpose of this system 
    to detect possible security problems on a remote system and generate
    a written report.
    The "NetSweep" network security system's design and implementation will
    be described.

  Romy Myers

    AT&T and The Wollongong Group have joined efforts to develop a Secure
    TCP/IP, called TCP/MLS, to be used on AT&T's B1 rated secure operating
    system, called MLS UNIX. MLS UNIX provides security by labeling all
    data on a system with a sensitivity label, restricting users and devices
    to a clearance range, and recording security relevant information in
    a security audit trail. This development effort involved changing the
    current TCP/IP protocol suite to adhere to the security polocies
    enforced by MLS UNIX as well as the polocies defined by the National
    Computer Security Center in the Trusted Network Interpretation (Red Book).
