 GREPSEC: A Computer Security Workshop for Women and Underrepresented Groups  

(target audience: graduate students; if space is available, some
undergraduates may be invited)

Security research is a great field that has not attracted women and
minorities in any great numbers, despite the wonderful opportunities
available.  We'd like to change that --- and so does NSF, CRA-W/CDC, and
Microsoft (among others).  We're pleased to announce GREPSEC, a computer
security workshop for women and underrepresented groups.  Come and learn
about why great minds are drawn to security.

GREPSEC is a day-and-a-half-long workshop scheduled for May 18-19, 2013 in
San Francisco, occurring just prior to the annual IEEE Symposium on
Security and Privacy.  The workshop will consist of a number of talks by
leading academic and industry researchers in computer security.  (A list of
speakers may be found at: http://www.ieee-security.org/grepsec/schedule.html.)
The workshop will include a number of research talks as well as panels
looking at research from various perspectives including information
assurance from a hardware and software point of view, picking good research
problems, and privacy from both a policy and technical perspective.  There
will be breaks to afford students time to meet informally with the
speakers.

Funding for this meeting has been provided by the US National Science
Foundation, a grant from CRA-W/CDC, and Microsoft Research, and travel
funding will be available for graduate students at US institutions.  If
space permits, we may admit some advanced undergraduates.

Application information can be found at:
http://www.ieee-security.org/grepsec/apply.html .  Applications are due
March 1. Applicants will be informed by April 1 whether they have been
admitted and the size of their travel award.  Workshop participants will be
encouraged to attend the IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy meeting,
which will begin on May 19.  We regret that workshop travel funding cannot
cover participation in the IEEE Symposium.

If you have questions about the workshop, please direct them to one of
Susan, Hilarie, or Terry (susan.lan... at privacyink.org,
hila... at purplestreak.com, tben... at isi.edu). We encourage all eligible
students to apply.

Please feel free to share this mail with potential candidates.

Best,

Susan (Terry Benzel, Susan Landau, and Hilarie Orman, GREPSEC organizers)
