Fwd: 6th Annual PKI R&D Workshop - Call for Papers

[George Staikos]

   I attended this event this year and it was very interesting.  If anyone is 
interested in talking about PKI in KMail and/or konqueror, I recommend the 
effort of submitting a paper.

6th Annual PKI R&D Workshop:  "Applications-Driven PKI (It's The
Apps, Stupid!)"
CALL FOR PAPERS

Deadlines for conference paper and panel submissions are:

Papers and Proposals Due:  October 22, 2006
Authors Notified: December 18, 2006
Final Materials Due: February 26, 2007

This workshop considers the full range of public key technology used
for security decisions and supporting functionalities, including
authentication, authorization, identity management, federation, and
trust. This year's focus is striking the proper balance to permit
users to complete tasks requiring security easily while exposing the
appropriate security details through all layers of software. This
workshop has three goals:

1. Explore the current state of public key technology and emerging
trust mechanisms in different domains, including web services, grid
technologies, encryption functionality, authentication systems, etc.,
in academia, research, government, and industry.

2. Share and discuss lessons learned and scenarios encountered from
vendors and practitioners from current deployments.

3. Provide a forum for leading security researchers to explore the
issues relevant to PKI in relation to applications, usability,
security management, identity, trust, policy, authentication,
authorization and encryption (e.g., supporting privacy requirements).

Workshop registration details will be posted shortly.
