This workshop considers the full range of public key technology used for
security decisions. PKI supports a variety of functionalities including
authentication, authorization, identity (syndication, federation and
aggregation) and trust.

This workshop has three goals: 
1. Explore the current state of public key technology in different
domains including web services, grid technologies, authentication systems
et. al. in academia & research, government and industry.
2. Share & discuss lessons learned and scenarios from vendors and
practitioners on current deployments
3. Provide a forum for leading security researchers to explore the issues
relevant to the PKI space in areas of security management, identity,
trust, policy, authentication and authorization.

The results will be promulgated in several ways, including: published
proceedings with refereed papers and summaries of workshop discussions,
the workshop web site:
http://middleware.internet2.edu/pki04/,
and experimental initiatives within higher education. 

Presentation formats will include: refereed papers, panel discussions,
invited talks, and work-in-progress updates. 

Jointly sponsored by NIH, NIST, and Internet2, in cooperation with USENIX
and OASIS.
