7^th Symposium on Identity and Trust on the Internet (IDtrust 2008)
[pka the PKI R&D Workshop]

*March 4-6, 2008*
NIST - Gaithersburg, Maryland

Theme:  Identity and Trust Infrastructures

This symposium brings together academia, government, and industry to explore
all aspects of identity and trust. Previously known as the PKI R&D Workshop
(2002-2007), our new name reflects interest in a broader set of tools and the
goal of an identity layer for the Internet. We aim to get practitioners in
different sectors together to apply the lessons of real-world deployments to
the latest research and ideas on the horizon. In addition to peer-reviewed
papers, we facilitate discussions among panels of invited experts and 
symposium
participants.

CALL FOR PAPERS
We solicit technical papers and panel proposals from researchers, systems
architects, vendor engineers, and users. Suggested topics and complete
submission details can be found at
