Avi Rubin, AT&T Research I'm often asked, "If we're so vulnerable, how come I don't hear about incidents that often?" While I cannot answer that question, I can try to answer the question of whether or not there is a threat. In this talk, I will look at some historic and some more recent computer security incidents. How did the attacks occur? Why did they succeed? What were the consequences? Could it have been worse? We will look at security issues in existing systems and assess the level of danger. Finally, I'll discuss what the best defenses are, and the steps we can each take to secure our systems and data.

Soules, Carnegie Mellon University; Christopher A. Stein, Harvard University	INVITED TALKS Marriott Hall 1-3 Watching the Waist of IP Steve Deering, Cisco Systems The Internet protocol architecture has an hourglass shape: a wide variety of applications and end-to-end (upper-layer) protocols are supported by a single, "narrow" protocol called IP, which in turn rests upon a wide variety of network and datalink (lower-layer) protocols. The Internet's enormous flexibility in accommodating new transmission technologies and new applications, and its ability to serve as the convergence platform for data, telephony, TV, and other media, depend on this hourglass design. However, as the Internet has grown, the waist of the hourglass has spread. In this talk, I review the evolution of the IP layer of the Internet, discuss the consequences of the changes, and speculate on the future shape of IP.

Fowler, David G. Korn, and Kiem-Phong Vo, AT&T Labs--Research	INVITED TALKS Marriott Hall 1-3 Implementing 3D Workstation Graphics on PC UNIX Hardware Daryll Strauss, Precision Insight 3D hardware for PCs has improved to the point that it is beginning to rival that of traditional 3D graphics workstations. Providing these capabilities on commodity hardware poses a number of difficult problems. For example, 3D hardware has a voracious appetite for data, and commodity hardware is typically not designed for secure multitasking. Precision Insight is working with a number of vendors to provide completely open-source solutions to these problems under X and Linux.
