Continuing the AUUG tradition of quality professional technical
conferences, we are pleased to present:

	AUUG'2004 - Who Are You?
	(Identification and Authentication Issues in Computing)
	The Duxton Hotel, Flinders St, Melbourne
	Tutorials: 29-31 August 2004
	Conference: 1-3 September 2004

You are invited to register for the AUUG annual conference - come and join
us as we rub shoulders with a great mixture of local and international
experts. Learn from them in tutorials and conference presentations, share
experiences with your fellow travellers in the breaks and BOFs (Birds Of a
Feather sessions), and relax with everyone at the social events -
including the famous AUUG Conference Dinner.

As you can imagine, with this conference theme there is an emphasis on
computer security topics. But AUUG is a broad church, and so the
conference features presentations on topics ranging from Linux to Java,
from Open Source Databases to the law regarding SPAM, from Thin Clients to
Australia's most powerful computer.

AUUG'2004 also features a packed tutorial programme - the most extensive
AUUG has presented for a number of years.

Some of the luminaries you can see at the conference are:

* Steve Bellovin

Steve is an AT&T Fellow in the Network Services Research Lab at AT&T Labs
Research, New Jersey. Steve does research on networks, security and why
the two don't get along. He is the co-author, with Bill Cheswick, of the
book Firewalls and Internet Security: Repelling the Wily Hacker.

Steve will present a tutorial on Cryptography, and speak at the conference
on Privacy, Anonynmity and Security on the Internet.


* Theo de Raadt

Theo de Raadt has been involved with free Unix operating systems since
1990 (Minix!) and then became one of the founders and prime developers of
NetBSD. In 1995 Theo created the OpenBSD project, creating a free Unix
that focuses primarily on security technologies. A few years later he also
started the OpenSSH project (the most deployed Open Source software). Theo
works full time on advancing OpenBSD, OpenSSH, and any technology which
enhances free Unix security.

Theo will give a tutorial on Programming Techniques to Stop Privilege
Escalation, and will talk on Exploit Mitigation Techniques.


* Bdale Garbee

Bdale is the Linux CTO for Hewlett Packard.


* Tony Judge

Tony is the Acting General Manager Corporate and Governance for AGIMO
(which was formerly NOIE). He will talk on the Corporate and Governance
perspectice of using OSS in Government.


* Michael Paddon

An AUUG old-timer, and a security expert now working for Qualcomm, Michael
will give a tutorial on building State-of-the-art Firewalls with OpenBSD,
as well as giving us a security wake-up call in his Footnote presentation.
