CFP: 6th Annual PKI R&D Workshop
by Frank Siebenlist 20 Sep '06

20 Sep '06

Please take a look at the attached call for papers. Over the years, this PKI R&D Workshop has proven to be one of the most enjoyable security events with high quality papers and very interesting presentations. Securely yours, Frank. ---------------------- 6th Annual PKI R&D Workshop "Applications-Driven PKI (It's The Apps, Stupid!)" NIST, Gaithersburg, MD April 17-19, 2007 http://middleware.internet2.edu/pki07/ This workshop considers the full range of public key technology used for security decisions and supporting functionalities, including authentication, authorization, identity management, federation, and trust. This year's focus is striking the proper balance to permit users to complete tasks requiring security easily while exposing the appropriate security details through all layers of software. This workshop has three goals: Explore the current state of public key technology and emerging trust mechanisms in different domains, including web services, grid technologies, encryption functionality, authentication systems, etc., in academia, research, government, and industry. Share and discuss lessons learned and scenarios encountered from vendors and practitioners from current deployments. Provide a forum for leading security researchers to explore the issues relevant to PKI in relation to applications, usability, security management, identity, trust, policy, authentication, authorization and encryption (e.g., supporting privacy requirements). Call for Papers We solicit papers, case studies, panel proposals, and participation from researchers, systems architects, vendor engineers, and users. Suggested topics include but are not limited to: Reports of real-world experience with the use and deployment of applications that leverage PKI, how best to integrate such usage into legacy systems, and future research directions Federated versus Non-Federated trust models Standards related to PKI and security decision systems, such as X.509, SPKI/SDSI, PGP, XKMS, XACML, XRML, XML signatures, and SAML Identity management (Shibboleth, Liberty, Higgins, InfoCard, etc.) Cryptographic and alternative methods for supporting security decisions, including the characterization and encoding of data Intersection of policy-based systems and PKI Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) advances that improve usability of PKI for users and administrators Privacy protection and implications Use of PKI in emerging technologies (e.g., sensor networks) Scalability and performance of PKI 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, signatures, encryption, use of multiple private keys, and selective disclosure New paradigms in PKI architectures 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 participation. Submissions will be handled electronically. Detailed submission instructions can be found at the workshop website (see http://middleware.internet2.edu/pki07/) 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 preproceedings at the workshop and in a final proceedings shortly after the workshop. Deadlines for conference paper and panel submissions are: Papers and Proposals Due: October 22, 2006 Authors Notified: December 18, 2006 Final Materials Due: February 26, 2007 Workshop: April 17-19, 2007 -- Frank Siebenlist franks(a)mcs.anl.gov The Globus Alliance - Argonne National Laboratory

Certificate Profile document, update v0.5
by David Groep 12 Sep '06

12 Sep '06

Dear all, The last version of the certificate profile draft document is now almost two months old, so its high time for a new version that we can discuss in Washington (GGF18). The new version can be found at: http://www.eugridpma.org/temporary/eugridpma-certprofile-20060717-0-5.pdf (and I'll try to upload to GridForge once that works again; there is also an associated MS Word .doc version on the web site). I've completely restructured the document, taking Kaspar's comments into account. So it now has - two separate parts: one for CA certs and one for EE certs - the wording is RFC2119 - reference is to RFC3280 (and no longer 2459) - many extensions added, and more guidance text Please have a look through the document, and send your comments, suggestions, and text on additional extensions. Cheers, DavidG. -- David Groep ** National Institute for Nuclear and High Energy Physics, PDP/Grid group ** ** Room: H1.56 Phone: +31 20 5922179, PObox 41882, NL-1009DB Amsterdam NL **

[wg-all] Mailing List Changes
by Andre Merzky 03 Sep '06

03 Sep '06

Sorry for duplicates ------------------------------------------------------------ As of yesterday, all GGF/OGF mailing lists are migrated to the ogf domain. They are now managed by mailman, the web interface is available at http://www.ogf.org/mailman/listinfo With that migration, all list can be now reached via <list>@ogf.org The old @ggf.org addresses will be available for some time, but are bound to disappear eventually - please start using the ogf addresses! A number of lists have changed their names: ggf-it --> ogf-it ggf-office --> ogf-office ggf-proc-wg --> ogf-proc-wg ggf-sponsors --> ogf-sponsors ggf-tutorials --> ogf-tutorials ggf-compute --> ogf-compute ggflistowners --> ogflistowners ggfstudentmembers --> ogfstudentmembers Postings to the old list names get forwarded to the new ones. With the migration we have also been able to fix the archives - you may have noticed that list archiving stopped sometime in mid June. Well, now its working again, and all mails from June to now have been added to the archive. The list archives can be found at: http://www.ogf.org/archives/<list> If you are an list administrator, and would like to receive the list admin password, please contact postmaster(a)ogf.org. In general, however, we tried to map the old majordomo settings to the mailman settings, in terms of privacy etc, so no or little changes should be required from your side. The spam avoidance policy has been changed to some extent, and is somewhat stricter than before. Please let us know if you experience any trouble with that. On all questions in respect to mailing lists, or mails in general, please contact postmaster(a)ogf.org. Best regards, Andre. -- "So much time, so little to do..." -- Garfield -- wg-all mailing list wg-all(a)ogf.org http://www.ogf.org/mailman/listinfo/wg-all
