Registration closing soon for PKI R&D Workshop

[Steve Hanna <Steve.Hanna@Sun.COM>]

The 3rd Annual PKI R&D Workshop is almost here:
April 12-14, 2004 at NIST in Gaithersburg, MD.
Registrations should be in by Monday March 29.

This year's program looks very strong. It includes
a paper and panel on the PKI Action Plan as well
as lots of other interesting stuff. If you can come,
I'm sure you'll enjoy it. See below for details.

Thanks,

Steve

The program features a broad variety of perspectives, results and new
ideas on the use of Public Key technology for security decision
making, not just traditional "PKI".  There are talks and panel
sessions on the dynamic delegation of rights, application-specific PKI
designs, document signatures, certificate path discovery, experience
papers and panels on where to go from here.

Speakers include Peter Gutmann, Carlisle Adams, Stefan Brands, Ken
Klingenstein, John Linn, Tim Polk, Von Welch and many other experts.
The intimate workshop atmosphere provides ample opportunities to
interact with others working on the issues you're facing, including
Work-In-Progress and Birds-of-a-Feather sessions.

802.11b Wireless access points will be available for SSH, IPSEC, HTTP,
DNS, FTP, POP, IMAP, and SMTP connectivity.  At only $105 for
registration, it's a bargain.
