ABOUT THE GUESTS
Gary McGraw and Ed Felten are a couple of benevolent hackers who have spent

led to some of the most important discoveries in the field, culminating in
the publication this year of the book "Java Security: Hostile Applets,
Holes, and Antidotes" (John Wiley & Sons).
During their chats, the authors will discuss several dangerous web security
flaws and tell you about simple things you can do to protect yourself. If
