ITI Trust and Security Seminar (TSS)

About TSS

The Trust & Security Seminar series is held regularly during the academic year. The series presents speakers from both within and outside the University covering all aspects of information trust and the application areas that ITI makes trustworthy. In Fall 2009, it will typically be held in room 2405 of Siebel Center for Computer Science on alternating Wednesdays at 4:00 p.m. (This may vary; check the calendar or individual seminar announcements for information on each seminar.) Manoj M. Prabhakaran organizes the Trust & Security Seminar series; contact him with requests for speakers or information.
