The keynote speaker for this year is Bill Cheswick of Lumeta
Corporation. Bill's research interests include firewalls;
Network security; Internet mapping and visualization; and Computer
and Internet forensics.
Cheswick has worked on (and against) operating system security for over 30 years. He contracted for several years at Lehigh and the Naval Air Development Center working on systems programming and communications.
For the next nine years he worked for Systems and Computer Technology Corporation at a variety of universities including Temple University, LaSalle College, Harvard Business School, Manhattan College, NJIT, and several others. Duties included system management, consulting, software development, communications design and installation, PC evaluations, etc.
In 1987 he joined Bell Laboratories as a Member of the Technical Staff, and worked there for over twelve years. He did early work on firewall design and implementation, including the first circuit-level gateway, for which he coined the term "proxy". Ches also worked on PC viruses, mailers, Internet munitions, and the Plan 9 operating system. He co-authored the first full book on firewalls.
In 1998, Ches starting the Internet Mapping Project with Hal

corporate and government intranets and checks for host leaks that
violate perimeter policies.
The long-term goal of this project is to acquire and save Internet
