5th Annual PKI R&D Workshop: Making PKI Easy to Use
April 4-6, 2006
NIST -- Gaithersburg, MD
Papers and Proposals Due: EXTENDED TO October 22, 2005


Website:

Registration Fee: $125.00


This workshop considers the full range of public key
technology used for security decisions and supporting
functionalities, including authentication, authorization, identity
(syndication, federation, and aggregation), and trust.  This
year, the workshop has a particular interest in novel
approaches to simplifying the use and management of X.509
digital certificates, both within and across enterprises.  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, et al., in academia,
government and
    the private sector.

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,
    authorization and encryption (e.g., supporting
privacy
    requirements).


CALL FOR PAPERS:
We solicit papers, case studies, panel proposals, and
participation from researchers, systems architects, vendor
engineers, and users. Submitted works should address one or
more critical areas of inquiry.

Topics include (but are not limited to):

* Federated versus Non-Federated trust models
* Standards related to PKI and security decision systems, such
    as X.509, SPKI/SDSI, PGP, XKMS, XACML, XRML, XML
    signatures and SAML
* Cryptographic and alternative methods for supporting
   security decisions, including the characterization and
encoding
   of data
* Intersection of assertion-based systems and PKI
* Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) advances that improve
    usability of PKI for users and administrators
* Privacy protection and implications
* Use of PKI in emerging technologies (i.e., sensor networks)
* Scalability of security systems
* Security of the components of PKI systems
* Security infrastructures for constrained environments
* Improved human factor designs for security-related
    interfaces including authorization and policy
management,
    naming, use of multiple private keys, and selective
disclosure
* New paradigms in PKI architectures
* Reports of real-world experience with the use and
    deployment of PKI, including the use of digital
certificates with
    major off-the-shelf application programs, how best to
integrate
    such usage into legacy systems, and future research
    directions.


Deadlines for conference paper and panel submissions are:

* Papers and Proposals Due: EXTENDED TO:  October 22, 2005
* Authors Notified:        
December 2, 2005
* Final Materials Due:      February 3, 2006


Submissions should be provided electronically, in PDF, for
standard US letter-size paper (8.5 x 11 inches). Paper
submissions must not exceed 15 pages (single space, two
column format with 1" margins using a 10 pt or larger font) and
have no header or footer text (e.g., no page numbers).
Proposals for panels should be no longer than five pages and
include possible panelists and an indication of which panelists
have confirmed participation.

Please submit the following information to
pkichairs@internet2.edu:

* Name, affiliation, email, phone, postal address for the
   primary contact author
* First name, last name, and affiliation of each co-author
* The finished paper in PDF format as an attachment

All submissions will be acknowledged.

Submissions of papers must not substantially duplicate work
that any of the authors have published elsewhere or have
submitted in parallel to any other conferences or journals.

Accepted papers will be published in a proceedings of the
workshop.
