Speakers at a Glance (see full agenda)
 * Keynote: Bill Cheswick, Lead Member of Technical Staff, AT&T Labs Research Rethinking Passwords - Passwords and PINs are used everywhere these days, but their use is often painful. Traditional password advice and rules are seldom appropriate for today's threats, yet we labor with the password rules and servers of yesteryear. Strong passwords are weakening our security, and it is time to fix that.
