Recent events have made us acutely aware of the
vulnerability of our physical infrastructure to terrorist attack. But what
about our computational infrastructure? How much damage could a hostile
agent cause by invading our computing networks, either to steal resources,
gather information, or make the networks unusable? Are we under the threat
of imminent attack? Is there any way to thwart such an attack without
serious damage to our civil liberties? This year's Perlis Symposium
presents four experts who will address these questions.
