Strong authentication of identity and thorough verification of devices is a mandatory requirement for critical cyber infrastructures.

This break-out session will include a discussion of the benefits of PKI on campus with information on the Higher Education Bridge Certification Authority (HEBCA) and Four Bridges Forum (4BF) which enable PKI certificates to be interoperable across major US federal agencies, US-based pharmaceutical companies, aerospace and defense contractors and colleges and universities.
Pleasant Skies, or a Gathering Storm: The Good and Evil of Security Services in the Cloud
Dartmouth College's Cyber Security Initiative (CSI)
Staff and students participating with Dartmouth's Cyber-security Initiative (CSI) will discuss their research on performing security services in the cloud. The findings suggest that there are potential technical and cost benefits of using cloud services for a number of tasks including penetration testing, forensic analysis, security monitoring, honeypots, and various processor-intensive security procedures. However, those with malicious intentions could also reap these benefits and the team will address concerns such as anonymous use of cloud services, the risk of easy access to high-powered computing, and potential legal complications in dealing with attacks from the cloud.

Peter is a product development consultant, software designer, industrial analyst and widely published writer, speaker and commentator on information security, white collar crime and electronic crime who has been investigating the intersection of security technologies, electronic commerce, public policy and financial crime for decades in his many capacities. Peter has spoken as an intervenor and consulting expert to the European Commission, the Council of Europe and the United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime.
His leadership of the APWG fortuitously enabled him to combine his interests to build bridges across the many disciplines and domains required for a single entity to comprehensively address the emerging electronic crime plexus. Today, the APWG embodies a uniquely heterogeneous global counter-crime association drawing upon the expertise of technologists, risk managers, private and public law enforcement and security personnel, government ministers, computer scientists and behavioral researchers.
Engaging all of these perspectives at once allows the APWG to narrate the experience of criminality emerging on the Internet in compelling and useful ways, including: statistical reports developed by the APWG's members and sponsors; APWG member conferences; the annual APWG eCrime Research Summit conference for industrial and academic researchers; APWG member mailing lists; research and policy collaborations with governmental and industrial bodies; and APWG presentations at events sponsored by industry, government, law enforcement agencies and diplomatic organizations.
