Welcome to the home page of the 10th Central Area Networking and Security Workshop (CANSec Fall 2016).
The CANSec (formerly, KanSec) workshop brings together researchers and practitioners in networking and security-related fields in the central area of the US. Since spring of 2012, the workshop has attracted attendees from Kansas, Missouri, Colorado, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, etc. We have also invited speakers from Texas, Indiana, Colorado, South Carolina, Virginia, etc. The goal of the CANSec workshop is to provide a semi-annual forum to present research in all areas related to computer networking and security, as well as to promote interactions and collaborations between academia and industry.
