    • NewsBits:  Announcements and correspondence from readers (please contribute!)

      • Note from Carl Landwehr:
        I want to announce the creation of a new mailing list for announcements concerning NSF's Cyber Trust theme, which plans to have an announcement on the street in mid-October, with proposals due probably in mid-January. Though all information is tentative at this point, we expect to support single and multiple investigator proposals, as well as some "center-scale" efforts. Naturally, I'll be needing not only proposals, but panelists to help evaluate them! Those interested in receiving announcements sent to the list should send an e-mail (blank subject and contents is fine) to:
        join-cyber-trust-announce@lists.nsf.gov
      • Nature article about HSARPA delays, Nature 424, 986 (28 August 2003)[subscription required], Research mired in Homeland Security delays
        GEOFF BRUMFIEL ... The official said last week that the Homeland Security Advanced Research Projects Agency — a branch of the department modelled on the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency — will ask for research proposals "within a matter of days". It also plans to establish its first university-based research centres in November.
      • Information Security Magazine gave awards to 25 women leaders in the field of information security in their September issue. Cipher readers certainly will recognize the names of Dorothy Denning (one of the top 5 women), Becky Bace (one of the top 5 women), Radia Perlman, Teresa Lunt, and many others. Congratulations from Cipher!
