=== Workshop on Attribution in GENI ===

==== Organizers ====
  Matt Bishop, ''UC Davis''

==== Time ====
  Thu 9:00 - 10:30 am

==== Description ====
This workshop will bring together people interested in the topic of attribution in GENI.  Attribution, as defined by the organizers of this workshop, is the binding of	data (called a characteristic) with an entity (person,	process,	file,	other	data, etc).	The	goal	
of	
attribution	
is	
to	show	that	the	characteristic	associated	with	 an	
entity has	a	particular	value,	or	one	of a	particular	set	of	values.	The	purpose	for	using	attribution	is	often	to	provide	accountability—in	a	cyber-security	context	attribution	is	generally	used	to	determine	who	is	initiating	an	attack	
and	therefore	assumed	to	 be	good	and	desirable.
