About C&ESAR 2009

The Ministry of Defense has been organizing infosec thematic
workshops every year since 1997. These conferences
bring together information system security specialists coming
from the governmental, industrial and academic world.
The goal of C&ESAR meeting is scientific, but also didactic.
It aims at presenting a survey of a specific issue of information
system security. The audience pictures the whole ISS
community, including fundamental researchers as well as
practicing specialists and managers. The subject will be
presented from a theoretical as from a practical point of
view, while keeping a pedagogic angle in order to facilitate
understanding. Indeed, this peculiar point of view will allow
practicing specialists to get aware of theoretical and technical
breakthroughs able to help them to solve their difficulties.
But on the other hand, researchers and developers will have
the opportunity to become acquainted with some potentially
interesting real-life problems.

Wireless (or reckless??) security

This year's topic is the potential impact of wireless technologies
on Infosec. This will cover all communication technologies
from classical far field (wifi, wimax, blue tooth?) to NFC
(RFID, contactless?). The borderline between these
NFC devices and classical wireless networks seems to be
fading now, with the emerging " Internet of objects " new world.
The consequences are still to be assessed, and the traditional
opposition between security and functionality will find
a new battlefield as this seamless new world may become
even more vulnerable.
So the talks will deal with the security problems arising
from a more and more widespread use of these so-called
wireless technologies, and with their solutions.
