Meeting Overview
XML is becoming increasingly popular and being used for a wide
variety of applications. Standards are being developed and implemented
for digital
signature and encrypted data constructs in XML syntax. An overview will
be given of
these rapidly emerging standards and the special problems presented by
using XML.
Along the way, it will be explained why, in real world security
systems, authentication is
harder to get working reliably than encryption.
Speaker Biography
Donald Eastlake is a member of Technical Staff at Motorola,
the co-chairman of the joint IETF/W3C XML Digital Signature working
group, and a
participant in the W3C XML Encryption working group. He was one of the
principal architects of
DNS Security and is also chair of the eCommerce oriented IETF TRADE
working group.
Before Motorola, Donald worked at IBM, CyberCash, Digital Equipment
Corporation, CCA, and
MIT. He has over 35 years of experience in the information technology
field.
Optional Post-Meeting Dinner
An optional pay-your-own dinner will be held at The Green Papaya (Thai
cuisine) Winter Street, Waltham, after the meeting.
Additional Information on Meetings
Unless noted otherwise, all GBC/ACM meetings are held in Room 4-231 (i.e.,
Bldg. 4, Room 231) at MIT in Cambridge, MA.
The meeting is free and open to the public. No reservations are required.
The formal part of the meeting will start at 7:00 PM.
MIT is at 77 Massachusetts Avenue, just on the north side of Memorial
Drive (on the north shore of the Charles River), in Cambridge, MA. One
way to find room 4-231, which is on the second floor of building 4, is
to enter the main complex of MIT buildings by coming in the main entrance
at 77 Massachusetts Avenue, then walk straight through "the infinite corridor"
until you reach building 4.
Directions
