4th Annual PKI R&D Workshop: Multiple Paths to Trust

National Institute of Standards and Technology
Gaithersburg, MD


April 19-21, 2005
Sponsors:
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), National Institutes of Health and Internet 2 in cooperation with USENIX and OASIS.
Audience:
Security Researchers from academia and industry.
Format:
Workshop.
Purpose:
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.
Topics:
Topics include (but are not limited to): Federated versus Non-Federated trust models; Standards related to PKI and security decision systems; Cryptographic and alternative methods for supporting security decisions, including the characterization and encoding of data; Intersection of policy-based systems and PKI; 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; and Reports of real-world experience with the use and deployment of PKI, including future research directions.
