W3C XML - Key Management Services Workshop

Redwood City, CA
19 July 2001

Hosted by

VeriSign

DRAFT PROGRAM

 

This workshop will consider whether and how to pursue XML Key Management Services as a W3C activity.

In the morning we begin by understanding the requirements driving the development of key management services in an XML environment. We will proceed to consider the scope of the activity and the merits of constituting a W3C working group to develop a specification. In the afternoon we will examine detailed proposals for the starting point for a working group and develop a candidate plan for the working group.
