The 13th annual Network Distributed Security Symposium
is hosted by the Internet Society and for the second year
is preceded by a one day workshop. This event has gone
from strength to strength over the years. NDSS is now
the one technology security event that emphasizes serious
workshops, presentations and networking (pun intended)
while leaving exhibits and distractions (other than beautiful
San Diego) behind.
