Description

     Understanding and meeting the requirements presented by the complex set of existing information assurance standards, law, and policy is a daunting challenge to everyone involved in timely and secure delivery of information. To reduce this challenge, new information assurance standards being developed by the IEEE will be crafted to fit into this existing environment. The review of standards project selection and strategy offered by this workshop supports this goal and provides a means to identify unmet needs for new information standards.

     This day-and-a-half workshop therefore introduces current IEEE information assurance standards projects and solicits volunteer participation in a consensus process to produce preeminent international information standards. Projects introduced at this workshop include those recently approved for work on both baseline operating system security (BOSS™) and certification and accreditation (C&A) of information systems, each project being initially based on NIST-developed drafts. In addition, an ongoing project to develop a standard architecture for encrypted shared storage media is reviewed. And projects slated to begin later this year, dealing with security of peripherals and information assurance terminology, are discussed.

     The IEEE will begin working group meetings early in 2004 on standards for C&A and BOSS™, and selection of dates and locations for these workshops will be determined during this workshop.

Directions

The Reception will be held at the Holiday Inn Gaithersburg,
and the Plenary Session at the Green Auditorium in the Administration Building at NIST.

Below are maps of the hotel and NIST, as well as driving directions to the hotel and to NIST.

Keep in mind that NIST has a north campus and a south (main) campus. The Green Auditorium/Administration building is on the South Campus with entry via Bureau Drive off of W. Diamond Avenue (Rt 117).

Here is a Yahoo-provided map of the Holiday Inn, Gaithersburg, located at 2 Montgomery Village Drive, and it also shows Bureau Drive from which to enter the NIST main (south) campus:
