Security Challenges for the Information Society Forum

"Security Challenges for the Information Society"

Open Standards Forum 2008

30 Sept-3 Oct

Ditton Manor (outside London)

http://events.oasis-open.org/home/forum/2008

In today's Internet and in many large private network infrastructures,

heterogeneity and diversity are the rule rather than the exception. Security

infrastructures need open standards and interoperability to scale to the

huge deployments that are being rolled out. Many security standards from

OASIS and other organizations support a model where identity authentication,

access control, digital signature processing, encryption and key management

are provided as services that can be distributed and shared.

If you are evaluating or deploying security infrastructures, the "Security

Challenges for the Information Society" Forum, will give you an opportunity

to explore the current and future state of security services, standards and

products.
