XML-DSig'99: The W3C Signed-XML Workshop

April 15th and 16th
DoubleTree Guest Suites Hotel, Boston, Massachussets

DRAFT PROGRAM

The program is written such that one starts with the big picture and progressively focusses on specifics. We begin with an introduction and questions about semantics; we review a number of application and collect requirements; and finally we review specific proposals and their benefits and detriments in the context of the big picture and requirements we've collected.

The focus of the content is stable, but the times and allocated time are still in flux.
