Very Rough Agenda for Encryption Workshop

I put together a very rough agenda at [1]. I looked through my mailbox for 
those folks who said they were interested in speaking. If I include you and 
I shouldn't, if I should and I didn't, or if I said you're going to talk 
about something you aren't, let me know! (One of the best ways to do that is 
to post to the list those things you will talk about <smile>.)

I'm not convinced this is the best structure, but in playing with the time, 
this is what I came up with, any suggestions are welcome.

     NOTE: This is very very rough; the speakers are not necessarily confirmed
     and the characterization of their discussion make be inaccurate.

                                  DRAFT PROGRAM

    In the morning we begin by understanding the difference between
    encryption and authorization and the resulting the requirements of
    authorization; we expand our scope of requirement discussion; then
    focus the question on protocol and end-to-end security issues. The
    afternoon we focus on the present proposals, identify issues,
    determine direction, and discuss how to move forward.
