Sensor Network Consortium Public Symposium on Security and Wireless Sensor Networks

As the cyber-infrastructure extends to the physical world with wireless sensor networking, both novel opportunities and unique challenges in security arise.   This program will explore not only on the security of the wireless sensor network but also their application for the security of a physical infrastructure.

The audience will include upwards of 300 leading figures from industry, academia and government drawn together to address the broader need for continuity and growth of our information-based society so vital to the productivity and security of our nation.

This program is held in conjunction with the NSA sponsored Colloquium on Information Security hosted by Boston University’s Center for Reliable Information Systems and Cyber Security (RISCS). Full Cyber Security conference schedule
