The Fifth Layered Assurance Workshop (LAW) will be held in Orlando, Florida, December 5-6, 2011, as an affiliated workshop of the 27th Annual Computer Security Applications Conference (ACSAC) December 5-9, 2011.

LAW is concerned with the cost-effective and timely construction and certification of assured critical systems from assured components. Since its inception in 2007 the Layered Assurance Workshop has grown and evolved. LAW has provided a forum for vital exchange, as well as a maturing source of information on the theoretical, engineering, and certification challenges of compositional assurance. LAW will again be held with the Annual Computer Security Applications Conference (ACSAC), among the longest running and most venerable computer security conferences.

LAW was created and maintained until this year through the sponsorship of the Air Force Cryptographic Modernization Program Office and the Air Force Research Laboratory. LAW is now a self-sustaining conference, and is accepting corporate sponsorships.

The proceedings of the Third and Fourth LAW Workshops are available as links to papers and presentations within the respective programs. The page for LAW 2011 will be updated from time to time with new information as it becomes available.
