Trust Management BOF, Chicago, Thursday



There will be a BOF on trust management expression and negotiation
Thursday afternoon, 3:30.  The agenda is still forming, so let
me know if you are interested in presenting ideas.

The purpose of the BOF is to discuss the need for a working group to
develop data representations and protocols that allow entities in
different organizations to express and negotiate the conditions under
which they will communicate for various network services.  The
conditions are expected to include security-related mechanisms for
authentication and integrity; the representations and protocols for
accomplishing the negotiation are themselves security relevant and may
be the subject of analysis.  The BOF will discuss trust management
issues in current and planned protocols and the question of whether or
not the policy expression and negotiation are distinct enough from
activities in the other groups to warrant the formation of a new WG.
