9:00 am - 4:00 pm
The Sheraton Reston Hotel, 11810 Sunrise Valley Drive, Reston, Virginia
THEME:
The 7th CACR Information Security Workshop, titled Smart Cards:
Technology, Applications and Security, will be held on Wednesday,
April 25, 2001 at the Sheraton Reston, Reston, Virginia and hosted by
Certicom Corp. Topics that will be covered include:
- State of the Industry - who are the players, who are the
customers, what are the applications, what are the issues for
wide scale deployment
- Latest in smart card technology such as multi application
operating systems, processors, etc.
- Update on active and passive security attacks such as DPA, fault
analysis,
etc and the latest and best means to counter these attacks
- Information Assurance
- Applications such as financial, transportation, and health care
- Integration of biometrics, encryption and smart cards
With the mobility that we have today with anywhere, anytime access
to myriad applications via the wired and wireless Internet and
Intranets, smart cards provide a perfect form factor for storing
individual user's private information such as digital certificates,
public and private keys, and health care and financial details, and
for processing financial and other transactions.
The series of Information Security Workshops is organized by the
University of Waterloo's CACR (Centre for Applied Cryptographic
Research) (url: www.cacr.math.uwaterloo.ca) and has been established
to provide a highly focused and content full program covering topics
of interest to the sponsors' customers, potential customers and
employees. The targeted attendee is an individual with a solid
background in information security, with two plus years of experience
in developing or deploying information security solutions for
electronic commerce or other applications. This individual
understands some of the issues and challenges (short term and long
term) in this area and attends the workshop in order to gain exposure
to different approaches (including specific vendor's approaches) or
technology and understand the availability of such, thereby expanding
the "tools" in his or her respective tool box.
This workshop is the 7th in the series. Agendas and presentations
from previous workshops can be found at www.cacr.math.uwaterloo.ca
