Addendum A:  CSG Long Workshop:  Shibboleth, Certs, and PKI
             Detailed Agenda

The Internet2 Shibboleth project
(http://middleware.internet2.edu/shibboleth/) has been working on a
scheme to provide reasonably secure inter-institutional access to
controlled web-based resources based on extending existing web
authentication methods.  Meanwhile, other efforts (eg HEPKI,
http://www.educause.edu/hepki/), have been promoting and standardizing
the use of client PKI certificates for similar purposes.  Is this work
conflicting or complementary?  Is there a common path forward?  What
should a campus be doing now?  Is there any hope?  This workshop will
describe the technologies, compare and contrast them, and consider the
above questions and, with any luck, their answers.
