Stanford Security Seminar
2002-03

Purpose

The focus of the Stanford Security Seminar is on communication between Stanford and the outside world on any and all topics pertaining to computer security. Typically, a speaker from industry or elsewhere in academia presents their current work in an informal setting on the Stanford campus. These symposia are open to the public and are generally accessible and interesting to experts and laypeople alike.

A secondary focus is the sampling of the various delectable junk-food goodies indigenous to supermarkets everywhere.

Mailing List

There is a mailing list on which announcements of upcoming seminars are posted, and which may be used for discussion of the seminars either before or after they occur. The address of the list itself is security-seminar@lists.stanford.edu . Anyone may join the list by sending a message to majordomo@lists.stanford.edu with "subscribe security-seminar" in the body of the message.

Time and Place

Seminars occur on approximately alternate Tuesdays at 4:30 PM in the 4B center area (opposite office 490) of the Gates building at Stanford University. For various maps showing both how to reach the campus and how to find the Gates building, see http://www.stanford.edu/home/visitors/maps.html
