Member preferences survey

Submitted by Rob on Fri Jan 27, 2012 - 16:49

We've been working on the member preferences survey for a while now, with Don Gurski doing the work. He's done a great job, but we want to get a broader range of responses, if possible.

You can download the survey, as a document, below, but here are the questions:

1. How long of a meeting do you want?
1 hour ...a 45 minute presentation with 15 minute question period.
2 hour ...a 1 hour presentation with 30 minute break and 15 minute question period.
3 hour ...two 45 minute presentations with 15 minute question periods.
Other?

2. What type of meeting would you appreciate?
Presentation only
Presentation & panel discussion
Panel discussion only

3. What topics are of interest to you?

4. What is currently your most important security topic?

5. Do you have any suggestions for improving the CIPS SIG Meetings?

November meeting

Submitted by Rob on Fri Oct 7, 2011 - 15:44

How quantum computers can help with difficult security problems. Also, how quantum computers can create difficult problems in the security field. (Yes, we will deal with crypto. But it isn't the biggest part.) (An amusing quantum hacking page shows pictures related to the latest destruction of the commercial quantum crypto systems.)

This meeting will be teleconferenced with the Victoria security group.

Anyone from D-Wave is welcome to attend :-)

The slides for the presentation are attached below. There are notes and a full article behind the slides, although you may need to dig to get at them.

We will also be distributing the SecSIG survey, to be discussed at the December meeting
