Greetings

Hello!

My name is Tim Hahn and I am looking forward to working with this group.

I have been somewhat frustrated by the various "artifacts" which different 
HTTP clients/browsers use to convey whatever security-related information 
has been sent from HTTP servers to which the browser is connected.  The 
current state-of-the-art seems to be more annoying to users than 
informative, and even for security professionals can be confusing to 
interpret.

I have worked for IBM for 16 years as a developer, designer, architect, 
and strategist.  I have been working on several of IBM's directory and 
security-related product offerings for over 10 years, dating back to 
Distributed Computing Environment, through LDAP directory services, and 
currently on authentication, access control, and identity management 
product offerings.  I have participated in several standards bodies in the 
past including DMTF and IETF working groups.

I am looking forward to meeting all of you, either in person in NYC or on 
the list.

Regards,
Tim Hahn
