> universities
> around the world for our fifth workshop on overcoming the challenges.

> during the two and a half day event.  Learn from experts in the human
> factors of security.  Hear an keynote from Kelvin Yiu, Microsoft's  
> Lead
> Program Manager for Windows Security.  Get an update from leaders in
> secure browser interfaces.  Ask questions of panels on topics like
