The next luncheon meeting of the Digital Commerce Society of New
York (DCS-NY), will be held on Tuesday, November 10th at 12:00. If you
are interested in attending, please RSVP and send in your check (as
explained below) as soon as possible.
This Month's Luncheon Talk:
"Basic Policy and Design Considerations for
High Value Financial PKI"
Speaker: Frank Sudia
This talk will provide a walk-through of some basic technical, legal, and
policy problems faced by designers of global financial PKI systems, and
review some the solutions reached, which helped form the basis for the
recent global trust enterprise announcement, wherein eight of the world's
largest banks agreed to form a common root CA operating entity.
Background: Frank has played a leading role in defining the concepts of
bank-centric e-commerce. He got his JD in 1983, but spent the next decade
designing administrative tracking systems (of steadily increasing size)
for government agencies and corporations. He joined Bankers Trust in
1991, and in 1993 designed what became its one-time password smart card
system, which currently has 15,000 users. An early public key advocate
and inventor, he co-founded in 1994 the BT Electronic Commerce department
(BTEC), now CertCo, Inc. He played a lead role in drafting the initial
version of the ABA Digital Signature Guidelines, which formed the basis of
the Utah Digital Signature Act and cognate laws around the world. He also
helped define X.509 Version 3, and co-authored the ANSI X9.45 standard on
authorization certificates. Frank left CertCo in April 1997, and now
works on banking and e-commerce projects for BT Strategic Ventures.
WHAT IS DCS-NY?
The Digital Commerce Society of New York (DCS-NY) is a spin-off of
DCS-Boston (DCSB). We meet once a month for lunch at the Harvard Club
of New York -- usually on the second Tuesday of the month -- to
explore the implications of rapidly emerging internet and
cryptographic technologies on finance and commerce.
