The Forum Expands the Programme to Include a Special PKI Workshop The Forum will now include a special workshop on the "State and Future of PKI", hosted by the OASIS PKI Member Section. This will explore the use of PKI in business applications around the world. The goal is to collectively assess how PKI is being used today - particularly as it is becoming embedded in business and government systems - and to understand its interaction with other security technologies, standards, and applications. The workshop will showcase PKI case studies, followed by an interactive panel discussion featuring major implementers. ITU Joins the List of Event Supporters ITU recently joined the list of event supporting organisations including: Liberty Alliance, CEN/ISSS, eema, and ICTSB. The event is also sponsored by BEA Systems, EDS, HP, IBM, OASIS PKI, SAP, Sun Microsystems, and Xenos. Panelists Confirmed for the Closing Panel on “Open Source and Security Standards" Simon Phipps, Chief Open Source Officer at Sun Microsystems, John Wailing, Director of Technical Policy, Cabinet Office of the UK Government, Carl Bate, VP, Chief Technology Officer at Capgemini UK & Ireland, and John Gøtze, XML Standards Specialist and Technical Writer, will be joining the closing panel on Open Source and Security Standards, moderated by Nigel Stanley, Practice Leader-IT Security for Bloor Research. Panelists will discuss the issues wrapped around the use of open vs. closed source / traditional software and provide their views on how both approaches address important evaluation criteria such as security, quality, support and TCO, in public sector projects.
