    Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars


    People who break into computers lie all the time in their attacks, but what happens to the attackers when the computers lie back to them? In this talk, Dr. Cohen will describe what is believed to be the largest and most complete scientific experiments ever undertaken to test out an information security approach, the methodologies developed to carry out these experiments, the laboratory facilities used to support these experiments, and of course the underlying theory, experiments, and outcomes. Along the way, magic tricks will be used to demonstrate and clarify the theoretical underpinnings of the use of deception for information protection.
