Hi -

Key mamagement should be an important part of the discussion. I anticipate being in china at this time, but would encourage other folks to consider submitting a proposal.

Regards

Bob

Subject: [kmip] NIST Workhop on Cryptography for Emerging Technologies and Applications

Workshop on Cryptography for Emerging Technologies and Applications 
 
NIST Campus in Gaithersburg, MD
78 November 2011
 
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is hosting a workshop on Cryptography for Emerging Technologies and Applications that is intended to identify the cryptographic requirements for emerging technologies and applications. 
 
The workshop provides an opportunity for industry, research and academia communities, and government sectors, to identify cryptographic challenges encountered in their development of emerging technologies and applications, and to learn about NISTs current cryptographic research, activities, programs and standards development.
 
In preparation for the workshop, NIST calls for the submission of abstracts that identify cryptographic challenges identified during the research and development of emerging technologies and applications. Submitted abstracts will be posted on csrc.nist.gov before the workshop, and the authors of selected abstracts will be invited to present their work during the workshop. The deadline for abstract submission is September 26, 2011 at 5:00 PM Eastern Daylight Saving Time. The abstracts should be sent to: ceta-workshop@nist.gov, indicating in the subject line: CETA Workshop Abstract Submission. The submission should clearly identify the emerging technology space (e.g., Internet of Things), the class of cryptographic requirements (e.g. Stream ciphers), the title of the abstract, and the author(s). The abstracts body should contain no more than 300 words.  
 
Examples of emerging or evolving technology spaces include:
       Sensor and building networks
       Mobile devices
       Smart Objects/Internet of Things, and
       Cyber physical systems.
 
Examples of cryptographic requirements for emerging sectors might include performance or resource issues, cryptographic services (such as anonymous or group signatures), or key management challenges.
 
Authors are welcome to identify, through their submissions, other areas of cryptography for emerging technologies and applications that are not listed above.
 
Location: NIST Campus, 100 Bureau Dr., Gaithersburg, MD 20899
Date: 7 and 8 November, 2011
Registration fee: $155.00
