[The Harvard Club is now "business casual". No more jackets and ties.
While it lasts, anyway. Since last year's dot-bomb, the suit-ratio in
the main dining room has been asymptotically approaching unity. :-).

The Digital Commerce Society of Boston
Presents
Dr. Phillip Hallam-Baker,
Principal Scientist VeriSign
"Trust Services and Second Generation PKI"
Tuesday, July 3rd, 2001
12 - 2 PM
The Downtown Harvard Club of Boston
One Federal Street, Boston, MA
Traditional Public Key Infrastructures PKI are based on the
certificate and directory model set forward in Kohnfelder's MIT
Masters Thesis of 1978 in which the PKI client has task of
establishing and evaluating trust relationships. This architecture
offers high security but places a high implementation burden on
application developers. Deployment of sophisticated PKI functionality
such as cross certification and revocation checking has been
significantly delayed since such features have no value until widely
deployed.
Dr Phillip Hallam-Baker will describe the XML Key Management
Specification (XKMS), a second generation PKI architecture that
overcomes the problems of deploying rich PKI functionality by
shielding the client from the complexity of the underlying PKI.
Through XKMS, a client may offload all PKI processing functions to a
Trust Service. Deployment of sophisticated functionality may then be
achieved by modifying the trust service and does not have to wait for
deployment of a new generation of PKI clients.
Dr. Phillip Hallam-Baker is Principal Scientist at VeriSign Inc. and
the Senior Author of XML Key Management Specification (XKMS). He is
also the Editor of the Core Assertions section of the OASIS Security
Assertion Markup Language (SAML) specification. Dr. Hallam-Baker has
been developing payment and security services for the World Wide Web
since 1992. Before joining VeriSign he held positions at DESY, CERN
and MIT. He is a Fellow of the British Computer Society.
This meeting of the Digital Commerce Society of Boston will be held
on Tuesday, July 3rd, 2001, from 12pm - 2pm at the Downtown Branch of
the Harvard Club of Boston, on One Federal Street. The price for
lunch is $37.50. This price includes lunch, room rental, A/V hardware
if necessary, and the speakers' lunch. The Harvard Club has relaxed
its dress code, which is now "business casual", meaning no sneakers
or jeans. Fair warning: since we purchase these luncheons in advance,
we will be unable to refund the price of your meal if the Club finds
you in violation of what's left of its dress code.
We need to receive a company check, or money order, (or, if we
*really* know you, a personal check) payable to "The Harvard Club of
Boston", by Saturday, June 2nd, or you won't be on the list for
lunch. Checks payable to anyone else but The Harvard Club of Boston
will have to be sent back.
Checks should be sent to Robert Hettinga, 44 Farquhar Street, Boston,
Massachusetts, 02131. Again, they *must* be made payable to "The
Harvard Club of Boston", in the amount of $37.70. Please include your
e-mail address so that we can send you a confirmation
If anyone has questions, or has a problem with these arrangements
(we've had to work with glacial A/P departments more than once, for
instance), please let us know via e-mail, and we'll see if we can
work something out.
Upcoming speakers for DCSB are:
TBA Jean Camp TBA
As you can see, :-), we are actively searching for future speakers.
If you are in Boston on the first Tuesday of the month, are a
principal in digital commerce, and would like to make a presentation
to the Society, please send e-mail to the DCSB Program Committee,
care of Robert Hettinga, <mailto: rah at shipwright.com>.
