We'll discuss two papers from USENIX Security:

 Storage-based Intrusion Detection: Watching storage activity for
    suspicious behavior
 by Adam G. Pennington, John D. Strunk, John Linwood Griffin, 
    Craig A.N. Soules, Garth R. Goodson, Gregory R. Ganger
 <http://www.pdl.cmu.edu/PDL-FTP/Secure/CMU-CS-02-179_abs.html>
 (discussion led by Mr. Andersen)

and

 Establishing the Genuinity of Remote Computer Systems
 by Rick Kennell and Leah H. Jamieson
 [By request of the author, this paper is not publicly available.
  If you didn't get a copy at the last ASRG, email me.]
 (discussion led by Rachel)


On an unrelated note, Bruce Schneier has a depressingly excellent
artcle on the intrusiveness of post 9/11 security procedures:
