Information Security: Building Secure File Systems in an Insecure Environment
Abstract:
There are several issues that are impacting the ability to create secure computer infrastructures. They are the numbers of bad people inside the walls, numbers of unknown connections to business partners, and wide area network data rates and computer horsepower which are growing to a point which will not allow us use traditional firewalls. This talk will discuss these issues and the technical challenges in creating, using, trusting a secure information storage capability which will be necessary in the future. Law enforcement and privacy issues will also be discussed.
