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

Workshop:  Shibboleth, Certificates, and PKI
January 9, 2002
CSG, Sanibel Island

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/, CREN CA,
http://www.cren.net/ca/crencert.html), 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?  What about industry
initiatives such as Microsoft Passport and Project Liberty?  Is there
any hope?  This workshop will describe the technologies, compare and
contrast them; then consider the above questions and, with any luck,
their answers.
