----- On behalf of the IEEE Technical Activities FDC (Future Directions Committee), I am organizing the Boeing New Technologies Industry Seminar (NTIS 2012) scheduled for Aug 23, 2012 in Arlington, VA. The theme of NTIS 2012 is Cyber-Security. I am asking for your help in identifying 2 ComSoc speakers for the following topics. Please forward this request to your TCs as appropriate. 6. Compact Network Solutions for Multi-Level Secure (MLS) Systems Discussion: Military network traffic is partitioned into different levels of security. Devices such as switches, guards, and down-graders are available to interact with this data while complying with partitioning requirements. Aircraft that need to operate with multiple levels of security simultaneously have much architectural redundancy to maintain hard separation of security enclaves. This architectural redundancy creates space, weight, and power challenges for aviation platforms. What subsystems are available to address MLS requirements for aviation platforms? What can be expected in terms of the space, weight, and power of such subsystems over time? Are there any software technologies that can reduce the hardware redundancy in MLS architectures while complying with NSA data partitioning requirements? 7. IPv6: Security Challenges? Discussion How to securely deploy IPv6. As you know, IPv6 is much like IPv4 but it differs from it enough such that we could benefit from understanding what a secured IPv6 network would look like. Of particular concerns are the increased dangers that occur within a network that supports both IPv4 and IPv6. What are the “best practices” for deploying and securing such networks? Background on the Boeing New Technologies Industry Seminar (NTIS) This is the 7h seminar in the series sponsored by the TAB Future Directions Committee (FDC), following 6 successful seminars in 2005 (St Louis, MO), 2007 (Seattle, WA), 2008 (Seal Beach, CA), 2009 (Philadelphia, PA), 2010 (Seattle, WA) and 2011 (Seal Beach, CA). This is a one-day customized seminar for Boeing employees and a few selected Boeing customers. Participants will attend on site (between 75 and 100) participants) and via webcast. The theme of the seminar varies from year to year The seminar includes 6-7 talks, each talk taking about 40 min to 45 min. Attendees are a mix of practicing engineers (70%) and researchers (30%). Boeing suggests the topics and IEEE provides the speakers (who must be IEEE members). Please note that Boeing makes the final decision on the speakers and agenda. IEEE covers travel, hotel and meals expenses for speakers for the seminar. Please contact me if you have questions or need additional information.
