=========================================
The New Java Security Architecture
=========================================
Li Gong will start with a very brief overview of the major issues surrounding Java security in general, and then focus on the new security architecture that has been implemented as part of JDK1.next, the forthcoming Java Development Kit, which provides policy-based, fine-grained, easily configurable, and extensible access control. He will cover the new classes and their usage from both a user and a developer's perspectives.
===================== Biography: =====================Li Gongis Java Security Architect and Senior Manager of Security Engineering at JavaSoft. He served as Program Co-Chair of the 3rd and 4th ACM Conferences on Computer and Communications Security, and Program Chair of the 7th and 8th IEEE Computer Security Foundations Workshops. He is Program Co-Chair of the 1998 IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy. He is an Associate Editor of ACM Transactions on Information and System Security and is on the editorial board of the Journal of Computer Security.
He received B.S./M.S. from Tsinghua University, Beijing, Ph.D. from the University of Cambridge, England, and the 1994 IEEE Communications Society Leonard G. Abraham Award.
===================== Directions: =====================101 South take the San Antonio North exit which will take you over the freeway. Go thought the light at Bayshore. Turn right on Casey Ave (very small sign), then make the next right on Marine Way, then left on Coast Ave. Go down to the end of Coast turn right into the parking lot at end of street. Building 6 will be the first one on the left. You can see the sign that says building 6 (it will be extremely obvious).
From 101 North take the San Antonio exit, and then turn right. Then the same directions as above.
