The 2009 RUSENIX Security Symposium

Welcome to the home page of the 2009 RUSENIX Security Symposium, to be held on April 28th, 2009. The organizing committee seeks high quality submissions in any area of computer security, proposing novel solutions to difficult problems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: web security, cloud services security, security and privacy in social networks, attacks and defenses against malware, algorithms for intrusion detection, and trusted computing. Consider submitting your best work!

Conference venue

The symposium will be held in Hill-254 in Piscataway, NJ. The symposium facility, which boasts state-of-the-art conference equipment, such as a blackboard, projector, and space for up to 25 attendees, is a stone's throw away from such local attractions as the Raritan canal and Rutgers stadium.

Organizing committee

General Chair, Program Chair, Program Committee (sole member), Local Arrangements Chair, Awards Committee Chair, Session Chair, Publicity Chair, and, in general, one heck of a guy: Vinod Ganapathy, Rutgers University.

Final paper due: May 5, 2009, as a single PDF document to the Program Chair. Hard deadline.
Symposium: April 28, 2009, 5:00pm-8:00pm in Hill-254.
