Introduction

Hiya,

I've been doing security stuff for a long while now, including
chairing the w3c xkms wg and a couple of ietf things and I've
inflicted words on various other security standards. Generally
these days, I'm more interested in odd networks, but since I may
have to re-join the real world sometime (i.e. leave academia) I
also keep up with security goings-on. If you care here're
details [1].

In terms of this activity, I think that it'll be interesting if
some improvements can be made and I suspect that they can if we
can figure a way to allows users to "deposit" their chosen state
on servers or some equivalent. But I make no claims to expertise
in terms of user interaction so maybe I'm wrong.

I also think that w3c needs to do a periodic general security
review of all of its more important activities since I suspect
that things like forms languages etc. all probably contain
unrecognised vulnerabilities. But its ok that that's not
immediately on the agenda of this group.

I won't be in NY for the 1st meeting, but I will take part via
whatever remote scheme is available.

Regards,
Stephen.
