Ephemera. Condition: Good. 14 pages plus covers--Conference agenda. Stapled in upper left corner. Format is 8,5 inches by 11 inches. Some writing noted. Together with a two page listing of National Computer Security Center Documents. Together with a 28 pages (14 sheet) Vendors Conference Registration. In folder. This was the eighth in a series of conferences co-sponsored by the DoD Computer Security Center and the National Bureau of Standards. The theme of the conference was, "Computer Security in the National Arena." The program is directed toward the users as well as the developers of computer security products, and includes presentations on the efforts of the Department of. Defense and National Bureau of Standards, of trusted product researchers, developers, and the private sector. The topics this year include secure networks, verification, assurance, formal models, security architecture, sanitization, applications on secure bases, labeling, hackers, performance tuning of secure products, and market analysis of secure products. In January, 1981, the Computer Security Center was established in the Department of Defense. The Center is encouraging the development of trusted computing systems through technology transfer with industry, and is defining ADP system evaluation procedures to be applied to both Government-developed and commercially developed trusted computing systems. In September, 1984, the President enlarged the mission of the Center to include the Federal civil establishment and segments of the private sector. The National Bureau of Standards' Institute for Computer Sciences and Technology, through its Computer Security and Risk Management Standards Program, seeks new technology to satisfy Federal ADP security requirements. The Institute promulgated cost-effective technology in Federal Information Processing Standards and Guidelines. The Institute cooperated with the Department of Defense in transferring the Computer Security Center's research results throughout the Government and to private industry. Presumed First Edition, First printing thus.

Condition: good. First Thus? Printing. 1987, ringbound, illus., index, cover of three-ring binder somewhat soiled. This guide is divided into four tabbed sections: products, services, company listings, and product name index. Considerable effort has been expended to make this publication as comprehensive and useful as possible. The information presented was supplied by the vendors and has been edited for style and consistency. Only those listings are included that, in CSI's sole judgment, are relevant to the computer security marketplace and which were commercially available at the time of publication. This is an impressive snapshot of a rapidly evolving technology and service area just prior to the first Gulf War and during a period when computer crime and computer security issues began to take on increasing importance to the commercial marketplace and the security community.

Condition: good. 3-ring binder with approximately 2" of materials & tabbed binders, includes an exhibit directory (approx. 30 pages) Some highlighting and ink notes to text, one page torn at binder holes. This conference was held at the Atlanta Hilton and Towers, November 17-18, 1986. This material also includes brief assessments of some of the specific sessions at the conference. This type of material is very ephemeral and does not often reach the second hand and collectible marketplace. It represents a fascinating snapshot in time of computer technology and computer security approaches and techniques.

Three Ring Binder. Condition: Good. Presumed first compilation thus. Approximately 1.5 inches of material. These handouts were from the Thirteenth Annual Computer Conference. Handouts (typically Xerox copies) include text pages and vugraphs. The Computer Security Institute (CSI) was a professional organization serving practitioners of information, network, and computer-enabled physical security, from the level of system administrator to the chief information security officer. CSI, established in 1974, was San Francisco-based. It had thousands of members worldwide and provided a wide variety of information and education programs to assist practitioners in protecting the information assets of corporations and governmental organizations. CSI used to conduct two conferences per year - the Annual Computer Security Conference and Exhibition and CSI SX. CSI is perhaps best known for the annual CSI/FBI Computer Crime and Security Survey. In 2011, CSI was absorbed by UBM although no mention of this appears on the UBM Wikipedia page. Because the Seminar had some parallel and optional sessions, it is not claimed that this set of handouts reflects all that was presented at the meeting. It does represent a substantial portion of the program and a significant amount of information. Among the handouts are: Agenda and introductory material. List of Conference attendees, and various presentations, including topics such as: Data Security Officer, Disaster Recovery, Emerging Trends, Network Security, Computer Crime, Standards, Communications Security Strategy (comment on page HK-3), Computer Security, Database Security, User-Friendly Security, Information Centers, Data Communications Security, and Risk Assessment. Appendix B is a Selected Bibliography. Presenters reflected the depth and diversity of the profession at that time.
