TIW 2010: Second Annual Trusted Infrastructure Workshop:
Advanced Summer School on Architectures for Trustworthy Computing
7-11 June 2010, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh PA, USA
http://www.cylab.cmu.edu/tiw

*** 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.  TIW is a collaboration between government, academia, and
industry intended to benefit the cybersecurity research and
development agenda by bringing together researchers in the field.  It
is aimed at bringing together researchers in the field of IT security
with an interest in systems and infrastructure security, as well as MS
or PhD students who are new to the field.  Funding is available to
support student attendance (see below).

*** Agenda Highlights: Lots of new material vs. last year! ***
- 2 keynote lectures
- 10 technology lectures: Trusted Infrastructure 101, Trusted Platform
  Module Deep Dive, Next Generation TPM, Operating System Security,
  Virtualization Security, Storage Security, Network Security,
  High Assurance Platform, Verification and Formal Methods for Trusted
  Computing
- 4 research workshops: Trusted Infrastructure Problem Space and
  Challenges, Security Evaluations, Chains of Trust and Dynamic
  Measurements, Towards Practical Attestation
- 3 hands-on labs: TPM, Trusted Computing Software Stack,
  Dynamic Root of Trust

Several social events and networking with other researchers are planned.

*** 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.
