TIW 2009: Trusted Infrastructure Workshop: Summer school on Architectures for Trustworthy Computing 8-12 June 2009, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh PA

*** UPDATE: 70 full support student scholarships available! ***

Sponsors are providing student support in the form of scholarships to
aid selected students to attend the workshop. The scholarship includes
coverage of all costs of workshop attendance, including airfare (up to
$500), lodging, and meals. Interested students should register online
and include a brief statement detailing the reason why they would like
to attend. While sponsorships are available in priority to students
from US academia, a small number of sponsorships can will be given to
foreign students, but may not cover full travel or visa fees.

TIW Overview

When IT infrastructure technologies fail to keep pace with emerging
threats, we can no longer trust them to sustain the applications we
depend on in both business and society at large.

Ranging from Trusted Computing, to machine virtualization, new
hardware architectures, and new network security architectures,
trusted infrastructure technologies attempt to place security into the
very design of commercial off-the-shelf technologies.

The TIW is an open innovation event modeled as a highly interactive
summer school, consisting of lectures, workshops, and other lab
sessions. It is aimed at bringing together researchers in the field of
IT security with an interest in systems and infrastructure security,
as well as younger MS or PhD students who are new to the field.
Funding is available to support student attendance.

Agenda Highlights

– 4 keynote lectures
– 7 technology lectures: Trusted computing architecture, TPM module,
attestation, SW-based attestation, virtualization security, network
security, and trusted storage.
– 4 research workshops: HW security, attestation in practice, OS
security, verification and formal methods.
– 3 hands-on labs: TPM, trusted virtualization, trusted network connect.

Several social events and networking with other researchers are planned.
