The PASC (Portable Applications Standards Committee) group will be
hosting a study group on API's for encryption and pther cryptographic
services as an extension to the POSIX standards. The second meeting on
this will be held at the Bonaventure Hotel, Ft. Lauderdale, FL, Jan
16-19, 1995 in conjunction with the quarterly PASC meetings. There is
a meeting fee of $100/day or $350 for the week that includes lunches.
The contact for this work is David Balenson who can be reached at
+1.301.854.6889 or balenson(_at_)tis(_dot_)com(_dot_) A general meeting
announcement is
available on request from Todd Campbell at NAPS International, who can
be reached at +1.612.888.0074 or tc(_at_)bungia(_dot_)mn(_dot_)org
The study group will investigate the feasibility of developing IEEE and
ISO standards for application program interfaces to encryption and
other cryptographic mechanisms, including data encryption,
authentication, data integrity, digital signatures, key management, and
timestamping. The PASC study group would like to invite broad
participation from interested parties consisting of private
individuals, industry, government, users and producers.
