Event: Scrambling for Safety in London
ist die Neuauflage des letztjährigen, von Privacy International ersonnenen europäischen
Crypto/Fixtermins.



SCRAMBLING FOR SAFETY

Privacy, security and commercial implications of the UK and EU crypto policy announcements


On May 29th, there will be a successor to last year's Scrambling for
Safety conference. It will be held at University College, London; it is
motivated by the DTI's recent cryptography policy announcement, and by the
EU's proposed directive on digital signatures.
This conference will provide a public forum for the Government and the
European Commission to explain their policy initiatives to industry,
commerce and the professions, and for interested parties to provide their
initial feedback. It will consist of four sessions at each of which two or
three speakers will present the issues, followed by a period of
discussion.

There will be no cost for members of the public to attend
