On behalf of the IEEE Technical Activities FDC (Future Directions 
Committee), I am organizing the Boeing  New Technologies Industry 
Seminar (NTIS 2012) scheduled for Aug 23, 2012  in Arlington, VA.  The 
theme of NTIS 2012 is Cyber-Security.

I am asking for your help in identifying 2 ComSoc speakers for the 
following topics. Please forward this request to your TCs as appropriate.

6.        Compact Network Solutions for Multi-Level Secure (MLS) Systems

Discussion:
Military network traffic is partitioned into different levels of 
security.  Devices such as switches, guards, and down-graders are 
available to interact with this data while complying with partitioning 
requirements.  Aircraft that need to operate with multiple levels of 
security simultaneously have much architectural redundancy to maintain 
hard separation of security enclaves.  This architectural redundancy 
creates space, weight, and power challenges for aviation platforms. 
What subsystems are available to address MLS requirements for aviation 
platforms? What can be expected in terms of the space, weight, and power 
of such subsystems over time?  Are there any software technologies that 
can reduce the hardware redundancy in MLS architectures while complying 
with NSA data partitioning requirements?

7.        IPv6: Security Challenges?
Discussion

How to securely deploy IPv6. As you know, IPv6 is much like IPv4 but it 
differs from it enough such that we could benefit from understanding 
what a secured IPv6 network would look like. Of particular concerns are 
the increased dangers that occur within a network that supports both 
IPv4 and IPv6. What are the best practices for deploying and securing 
such networks?

Background on the Boeing New Technologies Industry Seminar (NTIS)
This is the 7h seminar in the series sponsored by the TAB Future 
Directions Committee (FDC), following 6 successful seminars in 2005 (St 
Louis, MO), 2007 (Seattle, WA), 2008 (Seal Beach, CA), 2009 
(Philadelphia, PA), 2010 (Seattle, WA) and 2011 (Seal Beach, CA). This 
is a one-day customized seminar for Boeing employees and a few selected 
Boeing customers.  Participants will attend on site (between 75 and 100) 
participants) and via webcast. The theme of the seminar varies from year 
to year The seminar includes 6-7 talks, each talk taking about 40 min to 
45 min. Attendees are a mix of practicing engineers (70%) and 
researchers (30%). Boeing suggests the topics and IEEE provides the 
speakers (who must be IEEE members).  Please note that Boeing makes the 
final decision on the speakers and agenda.  IEEE covers travel, hotel 
and meals expenses for speakers for the seminar.

Please contact me if you have questions or need additional information.
Thank you and Best regards,
