SET and UNSET Tuesday, January 6, 1997 12 - 2 PM The Downtown Harvard Club of Boston One Federal Street, Boston, MA After great gestational pain, version 1.0 of the complex, heavyweight Secure Electronic Transacation (SET) protocol has been promulgated by the credit card association, is being deployed in pilots, and is continuing to have features added to it in a SET 2.0 design effort. Meanwhile, the environment that lead to SET continues to change and new alternatives for securing card/account based transactions are being suggested. Donald Eastlake 3rd is a Principal Systems Engineer at CyberCash, Inc. before which he was in the Pathworks network group at Digital Equipment Corporation. At CyberCash, he helped design the "CyberCash message format" documented in RFC 2898 and implemented the library routines that support them. He also architected and did the preliminary implementation of CyberCash's SET implementation. He is active in IETF standards efforts and is currently the document editor for the IETF DNS security working group including RFCs 2065 and 2137. This meeting of the Digital Commerce Society of Boston will be held on Tuesday, January 6, 1997, from 12pm - 2pm at the Downtown Branch of the Harvard Club of Boston, on One Federal Street. The price for lunch is $32.50. This price includes lunch, room rental, various A/V hardware, and the speaker's lunch. ;-). The Harvard Club *does* have dress code: jackets and ties for men (and no sneakers or jeans), and "appropriate business attire" (whatever that means), for women. Fair warning: since we purchase these luncheons in advance, we will be unable to refund the price of your lunch if the Club finds you in violation of the dress code. We will attempt to record this meeting and put it on the web in RealAudio format at some future date We need to receive a company check, or money order, (or, if we *really* know you, a personal check) payable to "The Harvard Club of Boston", by Saturday, January 3rd, or you won't be on the list for lunch. Checks payable to anyone else but The Harvard Club of Boston will have to be sent back. Checks should be sent to Robert Hettinga, 44 Farquhar Street, Boston, Massachusetts, 02131. Again, they *must* be made payable to "The Harvard Club of Boston", in the amount of $32.50. Please include your e-mail address, so that we can send you a confirmation If anyone has questions, or has a problem with these arrangements (We've had to work with glacial A/P departments more than once, for instance), please let us know via e-mail, and we'll see if we can work something out.

Kallstrom calls it quits
by Vladimir Z. Nuri 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

- ------- Forwarded Message Date: Wed, 10 Dec 1997 09:23:12 -0700 Subject: FBI Kallstrom (TWA investigation) will retire.... 12/10/97 -- 5:44 AM Leader of TWA criminal investigation retires from FBI BALTIMORE (AP) - New York FBI chief James Kallstrom will retire at the end of the month, ending his 28-year law enforcement career only after wrapping up the bureau's investigation into the crash of TWA Flight 800. ``It was not in my character to leave before the TWA Flight 800 investigation was concluded,'' Kallstrom, 54, said Tuesday. ``I thought I owed it not only to the bureau but to the victims' families and to the American citizens.'' FBI Director Louis Freeh said Kallstrom was his supervisor when he joined the FBI in the 1970s and ``was one of my models.'' Freeh, who appointed Kallstrom as one of six assistant directors in 1995, tried to persuade him to remain in office. ``I love him,'' Freeh said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. ``But on the other hand I understand that he was a dedicated and loyal FBI agent who has sacrificed a lot. I also think TWA took its toll on him both emotionally and physically.'' Last month, Kallstrom suspended the FBI's search for a criminal cause into the July 17, 1996, disaster that claimed 230 lives, saying no evidence of a bomb or missile was found. The National Transportation Safety Board is continuing an investigation into mechanical failure and is holding hearings this week in Baltimore on its findings. Kallstrom, who has two young daughters, told the AP that he will take a job as senior executive vice-president at MBNA Inc., an international bank and credit card company based in Wilmington, Del. ``I have to take care of my family and make sure my daughters are educated properly. I don't leave because I want to leave but it is time for me to think about other responsibilities. My time has come.'' Kallstrom, who is two years short of the FBI's mandatory retirement age, said he was ``honored to run the flagship office of the FBI and I leave it in good hands.'' Kallstrom has found friends among the families of those who died in the TWA explosion. ``I love this man,'' said Michel Breistroff of Paris, who lost his adult son in the explosion. Breistroff said he had grown to trust Kallstrom despite his own doubts at times about the openness of the U.S. investigation. ``He has shown me such compassion. We are so connected now,'' he said. Part of Kallstrom's blunt, get-it-done style was formed in the jungles of Vietnam, where he fought as a Marine and developed a hatred for hypocrisy after what he believed was the misrepresentation of the war to the American people. He joined the FBI in Baltimore shortly after leaving the Marines in 1969. Within the year, he was in New York City, following pizza trucks alone in the middle of the night because he suspected they were part of a drug conspiracy. The case developed into a major mob-drug prosecution headed by Freeh, then a prosecutor. Soon Kallstrom was leading teams of agents as they planted microphones in rooms where mobsters met. The tapes captured notorious New York mob boss John Gotti, who was later sent to prison for life. Before the end of the 1980s, Kallstrom helped put behind bars scores of mobsters from every major crime family in New York. Kallstrom said he will miss the FBI. ``The day I walk out the door for the last time, it will be one of the saddest days of my life,'' he said. - - ------- End of Forwarded Message - ------- End of Forwarded Message ------- End of Forwarded Message

That certificate server boasts an interesting new feature: the ability for the server to generate not just certs but also the keys, and install them on remotely managed browsers.
