Hi, all,
Our Program team had put in tremendous effort to put up this first
tutorial proposed by Wen-Pai. I got an email from Thomas Su,
indicating that our efforts had helped him getting his new job.
Normally, for technical people, changing job some time is very
difficult. Why, because your old skill sets are no longer useful to
new industry. It is not easy to learn new skills while you are busy
with delivering your current job demands. Career development and
training are not supported by most companies. I get a response saying
that the price is still too high. We hope your company will be able
to let you expense this tutorial event. We had tried very hard to
provide IEEE certificate but there are lots requirement needs to meet
in order to get that certificate. However, we will provide a
certificate to you, but not IEEE one. This is the first one and we
will continue working very hard to offer many other topics as in
depth format tutorials in the future. If we get less than twenty
people, we may no longer support this efforts. On the other hand, if
we get 50 people, we may cut our future price. It is simple math.
This event cost us around $1000. Thanks to Fenwick and West for not
charging us for the venue. If we get 50 people, we can drive our
price down to around $20. We need to have all tutorial documentation
history to prove to IEEE the quality of our tutorial meet their
requirement so that we can get official IEEE certificate to our
participants. At this moment, your support for this tutorial event
become most critical to us. If you can not come, please pass the word
for us. Hope to see you there.
Best regards,
-Henry Lu
SVCWireless Program Director
CSIX Board Director

Hi Henry,
Good job. I have really benefited from the last wireless conf. It
helped me to prepare for job interview.
Good luck.

Time: 8:30am ~ 1:00pm
Venue: Fenwick & West LLP, 801 California Street, Mountain View, CA
94041
Tel: 650-988-8500
Fee: SVCWireless or IEEE member: $50.
Non-Member: $80.

RSVP:
rsvp@... with the following subject line: "6/23: Your
Name, SVCWireless, IEEE member or non-member"

Abstract:

SVCWireless and IEEE ComSoc have invited three industry experts to
provide their expertise and insights into how Wireless Security
technologies are being implemented in current and future WiFi and
WiMAX networks.

Traditionally, Network Security focuses on Authentication,
Authorization and Data Integrity. Do they still apply for latest
wireless technologies and networks? What kinds of security methods
and procedures are being deployed in the latest Wireless standards
and why? Wireless Design Engineers, Application Engineers, Technical
Marking professionals and whoever want to learn wireless would find
answers to these important questions through the tutorial.

Agenda:
8:30 – 9:00 AM
Registration (Continental breakfast and coffee provided)
9:00 – 10:15 AM
1) The Wireless Security Big Picture- Dr. James Kempf, DoCoMo
Labs USA
•Introduction of Security and Network Architecture
•Introduction Cryptographic Algorithms and Authentication
10:20 – 11:35 AM
2) WiFi Security – Mr. Matthew Gast, Trapeze Inc.
•User based Security on Wireless Network.
•Protocols used for Link Layer Security in IEEE 802 network including
802.1x, EAP and RADIUS
11:40 – 12:55 AM
3) WiMAX Security – Mr.David Johnston, Intel
•The problems of wireless security facing 802.16/WiMAX
•The structure of the security protocol in 802.16/WiMAX
•The division of roles between 802.16 and WiMAX specifications

Speaker Biographies:

Dr. James Kempf has been active in systems and software research,
with occasional dips into product development in Silicon Valley since
1983. Prior to his current position, Dr. Kempf had worked at Sun
Microsystems for 13 years, where he was involved in a variety of
research projects among them in 1994 a prototype of a SPARC-based
tablet computer with early 802.11 supports. Dr. Kempf is active in a
variety of standards organizations and industry forums, including
chairing the Mobile Wireless Internet Forum (MWIF) IP in the RAN
working group. In 1998, Dr. Kempf became active in the Internet
Engineering Task Force (IETF), and from 2002 through 2004 served on
the Internet Architecture Board. Dr. Kempf has chaired three working
groups at IETF, including the Secure NEighbor Discovery (SEND)
working group, which developed a protocol to secure IPv6 against the
equivalent of ARP spoofing. In addition to SEND, Dr. Kempf has been
involved in security research at DoCoMo Labs USA on location privacy
and address authorization for multi-host addresses such as multicast
addresses. Dr. Kempf's research interests include wireless Internet
security, advanced routing algorithms, and new Internet
architectures.

Mr. Matthew Gast is the Principal Engineer of Strategic Technology at
Trapeze Networks, where he works on the development of open wireless
network standards and their application to the Trapeze architecture.
He is a voting member of the IEEE 802.11 working group, and serves as
Secretary of 802.11 Task Group U on interworking with external
networks. Matthew's most recent book, 802.11 Wireless Networks: The
Definitive Guide (O'Reilly Media), now in its second edition, is the
top selling reference work in the field and has been translated into
six languages. He is also the vice chair of the Wi-Fi Alliance's
security marketing task group. In 2007, Matthew founded the OpenSEA
Alliance; a group organized to support the development of open-source
network security solutions, and currently serves on its board of
directors and as the organization's corporate secretary. Mr. Gast is
also an active participant in the Wireless LAN Security Initiative at
the Interop Labs (iLabs).

Mr. David Johnston is a wireless security architect at Intel
Corporation in
Hillsboro Oregon. He is actively involved in the development of the
802.16 and WiMax standards and has a 17 year background in the
development of wireless communication systems. He was involved in the
development of the 802.11i and 802.16e PKMv2 security standards and he
has served as chair of IEEE 802.21.
