Physical Security -- the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Mark Seiden

Physical security is an oft-overlooked but critical prerequisite for information security. Now that software has leaked into all aspects of modern life, physical security mechanisms often are badly designed, rely extensively on Security through Obscurity, contain substantial snake oil components, include back doors, use piece-part solutions which have nontrivial real-world interactions, and need to function in a system but ignore environmental context.

I'll tell some stories about tests of outsourcing and colocation facilities, components and badge systems as examples of such security flaws.

Model-driven Security
David Basin

We present an approach to integrating security into the system design process. Namely, models are made of system designs along with their security requirements, and security architectures are automatically generated from the resulting security-design models. We call the resulting approach "Model Driven Security" as it represents a specialization of model driven development to the domain of system security.

To illustrate these ideas we present SecureUML, a modeling language based on UML for modeling system designs along with their security requirements. From SecureUML models, we automatically generate security architectures, built from declarative and procedural access control mechanisms, for distributed middleware-based applications. The process has been implemented in the ArcStyler tool, which generates security infrastructures based on Sun's Enterprise Java Bean standard. We report on case studies using this tool, which illustrate the flexibility and power of our approach.

Security in Ad-hoc and Sensor Networks
Panelists to be announced

Ad-hoc and sensor networks have recently received increasing attention in the security community. The panel aims to highlight new challenges in this area, addressing both open theoretical questions and issues concerning the usability of such networks in security-critical practical scenarios.
