Hi all -

In continuing the old ZOT tradition, I wanted to forward on this press

INTERNATIONAL CRYPTOGRAPHY INSTITUTE 2001 CONFERENCE
INCLUDES "WHO'S WHO" OF INDUSTRY EXPERTS

Speakers include PGP creator Phil Zimmermann and the inventor of Public Key
cryptography Whitfield "Whit" Diffie.

Washington, D.C. -- 26 September 2001 -- The National Intellectual Property
Law Institute (NIPLI) and its Information System Security & Education
(ISSE) Center today announced the International Cryptography Institute 2001
conference, the annual event and forum to educate corporate leaders on the
benefits and developments in cryptography. ICI 2001 will be held at the
Four Seasons Georgetown Hotel in Washington, D.C., 29 through 30 November,
2001.

The focus of this year's International Cryptography Institute conference
will be global challenges, trends, and best practices in cryptography. The
faculty will address cryptographic threats that confront the information
protection requirements of corporations, the national security, protecting
the critical information infrastructure, and law enforcement.

"Information security is extremely important when it comes to intellectual
property in the corporate and research world," said Bill Tafoya, Conference
Chair, Dean & Director of the ISSE Center. "Our goal is to provide
attendees with the most thorough information we can about cryptography and
cryptographic technologies."

The speakers for this year's International Cryptography Institute include:

         -- Dorothy E. Denning, Director, Georgetown Institute for
Information Assurance, Georgetown University.

         -- Whitfield Diffie, Distinguished Engineer for Sun Microsystems
Labs and one of the primary inventors of Public Key cryptography.

         -- David Kahn, Cryptography Historian and the author of several
books on cryptography including "The Codebreakers".

         -- Mudge, Chief Scientist & Vice President, Research & Development
for @stake.

         -- Bruce Sterling, author of "Hacker Crackdown".

         -- Marcus Ranum, President and CEO, NFR Security.

         -- Phil Zimmermann, Creator of PGP and Chief Cryptographer
Consultant, Hush Communications.


The format consists of plenary sessions as well as two simultaneous tracks.
Track I has been designed for chief executive officers. Track II is more
technically oriented. Topics to be addressed include: History of
Cryptography, What Executives Need to Know About Cryptography, PKI Escrow,
Disparate Data Analysis, Computer Vulnerabilities, Firewalls, PGP, the
Orange Book, AES, RISKS, and more.

"In 1991 I wrote the book 'Hacker Crackdown'. Cops told me then, ten years
ago,  that nothing really important would happen in computer security until
there was some catastrophe," said author Bruce Sterling.  "Now there's been
one.  The maturity and good sense of that little security community will be
tested now as it has never been tested before.  Right here, right now, this
is really important, and
I'm very, very interested."
