[mailto:jane.harnad@oasis-open.org] Open Standards Forum 2008:
Security Challenges for the Information Society 29 September - 1 October Ditton Manor, Near http://events.oasis-open.org/home/forum/2008 Deadline for
Proposals: 19 May 2008 Programme Theme:
"Security Challenges for the Information Society" Information and
communication technologies (ICT) are a major enabler of the creation,
distribution, diffusion, use, and manipulation of information and have a major
impact on our quality of life, our working conditions and the overall
competitiveness of our industries and services. In today's society, information
and information access plays a central role, economically, socially and
individually. However, open exchange of
information and access to online services also pose challenges and threats.
Service providers want to authenticate the identity of individuals requesting
access, and determine the resources and services they are entitled to access.
Users want their identity and personal data and privacy to be protected
adequately, and the confidentiality of sensitive data they are submitting to be
respected. In today's Internet and in
many large private network infrastructures, heterogeneity and diversity are the
rule rather than the exception. Security infrastructures need open standards
and interoperability to scale to the huge deployments that are being rolled out
today. Some of these security standards from OASIS and other organizations
support a model where identity authentication, access control, digital
signature processing, encryption and key management are provided as services
that can be distributed and shared. The Open Standards Forum
2008 will provide users who are evaluating or looking to deploy such security
infrastructures with an opportunity to explore the state of the art in security
services, standards and products. It will also provide users with an
opportunity to present and share their use cases, requirements and (initial)
experience with other users and with some of the leading experts in this field. OASIS invites proposals for
presentations, panel sessions, and interoperability demonstrations related to
security challenges for the information society, and on standards and solutions
that are being developed to address them. For complete submission
guidelines and to submit a proposal using the online form, please go to the
