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,
