Linux Security Summit 2013 – Schedule Published!

The schedule for this year’s Linux Security Summit in New Orleans is now published!

The keynote will be presented by Ted Ts’o.

Refereed talks include:

  • Embedded Linux Security (David Safford, IBM)
  • Extending AppArmor Mediation into the Userspace (John Johansen, Canonical)
  • Multiple Concurrent Security Models? Really? (Casey Schaufler, Intel)
  • Linux Kernel ASLR (Kees Cook, Google)
  • The AppArmor Labeling Model (John Johansen, Canonical)

It looks like there’s been quite a lot happening in AppArmor.  There’ll also be general project updates for SELinux, Smack, AppArmor and the Integrity subsystem, as well as a discussion on kernel coding anti-patterns led by Kees Cook.

There’ll be break-out sessions on the second day, details of which will be posted on the schedule as they’re known.  If you’ll be at LSS (or LinuxCon/Plumbers generally) and would like to schedule a break-out session, contact the program committee per the details at the wiki page.

See everyone on the 19th and 20th of September in New Orleans!

Linux Security Summit 2013 (New Orleans) – Call for Participation

The CFP for the 2013 Linux Security Summit has been announced.

The summit will be held across the 19th and 20th of September in New Orleans, co-located again with LinuxCon and Linux Plumbers. Note that presenters and attendees at LSS must be registered as LinuxCon attendees.

We’ll be following a similar format to last year, with a day of refereed presentations, followed by subsystem updates and break-out sessions on the second day. We’ll probably finish up around lunchtime on the Friday for people needing to head home that day, but check the final schedule for details once it’s published.

The CFP is open until 14th June, with speaker notifications to be posted by 21st June.

If you’ve been doing cool and interesting work in Linux security, be sure to submit a proposal!
