> 4th Annual PKI R&D Workshop: Multiple Paths to Trust
> April 19-21, 2005
> NIST -- Gaithersburg, MD
> 
> Website: http://middleware.internet2.edu/pki05/
> 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 how PKI and emerging trust mechanisms will interact with
> each other at technical, policy and user levels to support trust
> models that lack a central authority.  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; authentication systems,
>    et al., in academia, research, government, and industry.
> 
> 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 PKI space in areas of security
>    management, identity, trust, policy, authentication, and
>    authorization.
> 
> 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
>   x509, SDSI/SPKI, PGP, XKMS, XACML, XRML, XML signature, and SAML.
> * Cryptographic and alternative methods for supporting security
>   decisions, including the characterization and encoding of data
> * Intersection of policy based systems and PKI
> * Privacy protection and implications
> * 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 future research directions
> 
> Deadlines for conference paper and panel submissions are:
> 
> * Papers and Proposals Due: October 29, 2004
> * Authors Notified:         December 10, 2004
> * Final Materials Due:      February 18, 2005
> 
> 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 availability.
> 
> 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.
> 
> REGISTRATION
> 
> The registration fee of $125 per person includes workshop materials,
> coffee breaks, lunches, and a dinner.  There will be no on-site
