The HEPKI activity groups
represent the cooperative efforts of CREN, EDUCAUSE/Net@EDU, and Internet2 in
furtherance of PKI development for the higher education community.
|
|
|
|
HEPKI is an effort to
coordinate work among the three groups and confront difficult policy and
technical PKI issues via regular, standing conference calls for each of the
two HEPKI groups: the Policy Activities Group (HEPKI-PAG) and the Technical
Activities Group (HEPKI-TAG).
|
|
|
|
The separate conference
calls are open to all members of the HEPKI-PAG and the HEPKI-TAG mailing
lists, which are run by Internet2.

HEPKI contact Ken Klingenstein at kjk@internet2.edu.
