Middleware Announcements

[Lisa Hogeboom <>]

The 2nd Annual PKI Research Workshop is almost here: April 28-29,
2003 at NIST in Gaithersburg, MD.

The program features a broad variety of perspectives, new
developments 
and results on the use of public key technology for security decision
making. There are talks and panel sessions on human interface issues,
trust, identity management, SAML and of course PKI. The refereed papers
touch a variety of topics including authorization issues, enrollment,
novel architectures, CA for ad-hoc networks and much more. Get an 
update on the field, compare notes with leading researchers, discuss the
past, present and future & bring your own Work-In-Progress for an
evening session.

Mon 16:00 - 17:30: ReThinking Trust 
* This session will present the current state of trust models and 
practices in networked communities. It will look at macro models 
(hierarchies and bridges, federations, virtual organizations, etc) 
and micro models (static and run time trust decision 
architectures). It will then drill down into federated trust and 
discuss current deployments. There will be discussions around some 
of the emergent issues in federations, including multiple 
federations, multi-use federations, and managing trust.
* Ken Klingenstein, Internet2
