RNSA ICT Security Workshops

The Commonwealth Funded Research Network for a Secure Australia (RNSA) has initiated a series of ICT security workshops. RNSA is funded by the Australian Research Council.

In July 2005, there will be 3 workshops on the topics of:

1. Location Based Security: GPS, future GNSS and their use in Critical Applications
2. Computer Forensics
3. Research Challenges in Information Security

These low cost events are designed for industry, government and academic practitioners and researchers.

For event 3, please print out the PDF brochure  and fax the form to (07) 3221 2384

The events organised by the Information Infrastructure Security Hub of the Research Network for a Secure Australia (RNSA) and will be held at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) in Brisbane. Details of the events and how to register are given below:

RNSA Workshop on Location Based Security: GPS, future GNSS and their use in Critical Applications.

This one-day workshop will provide attendees with the opportunity to network and learn about the current status of security risks, threats and potential countermeasures in the use of satellites for location determination. The workshop features a series of presentations by distinguished guests from academia, government and industry.

RNSA Workshop on Computer Forensics

This day-long workshop will provide attendees with the opportunity to network and discuss research challenges in the burgeoning area of computer forensics. The presentations will provide broad coverage of the many different facets of computer forensics such as legal and evidentiary issues, the law enforcement perspective, fraud detection, and network forensics. The day will finish with a panel session with the topic .Accreditation, Standards and Tools for Computer Forensics.

RNSA Networks Workshop on Research Challenges in Information Security

This workshop provides researchers in the RNSA an opportunity to network and discuss key research problems in information security. The workshop is open to researchers from academic institutions, industry and government organisations. The morning session will consist of a series of presentations of different perspectives to research challenges by leading international researchers, government and industrial representative. The afternoon session will consist of smaller discussion groups to explore in more detail some of the research challenges and identify areas of possible collaboration.

Research Network for a Secure Australia

This event is organised by the Research Network for a Secure Australia (RNSA). RNSA is a multi-disciplinary collaboration established to strengthen Australia's research capacity for protecting critical infrastructure (CIP) from natural or human caused disasters including terrorist acts. The RNSA facilitates a knowledge-sharing network for research organisations, government and the private sector to develop research tools and methods to mitigate emerging safety and security issues relating to critical infrastructure. World-leaders with extensive national and international linkages in relevant scientific, engineering and technological research will lead this collaboration. The RNSA also organises various activities to foster research collaboration and nurture young investigators. Participants are encouraged to join the RNSA. Membership of the RNSA is open to Australian and international researchers, industry, government and others professionally involved in CIP Research. Information on joining is at http://www.secureaustralia.org/.
