[Sara Caswell <sara@nist.gov>]

5th Annual PKI R&D Workshop at NIST in
Gaithersburg, MD
"Making Cryptography Easy to Use"
April 4-6, 2006
http://middleware.internet2.edu/pki06/

The mathematics of public key cryptography is delightful, and
critical
to online security, but we still have much to learn about applying
it
in the real world in ways that are easy for humans to take 
advantage
of.  Come join with experts from NIST, NIH, private industry
and
universities around the world for our fifth workshop on overcoming
the
challenges.  Peer-reviewed research papers will be interspersed
with
topical panels during the two and a half day event.  Learn 
from
experts in the human factors of security.  Hear a keynote from
Kelvin
Yiu, Microsoft's Lead Program Manager for Windows Security.  Get
an
update from leaders in secure browser interfaces.  Ask questions
of
panels on topics like Digital Signatures; Email security and DKIM;
Standards updates on X.509, DNSSEC, Hashing and PKINIT; Globus;
Revocation; Federal PKI and E-authentication update; and Bridge to
Bridge Interoperations.  And as always, take advantage of the
opportunity for informal networking.
