[ogsa-authn-bof] Symposium on Authentication Technologies for Research and Education; IGTF5-TAGPMA12

[Alan Sill]

Apologies if this is a repeat or duplicate message; here is a revised  
early-access poster.

We are writing to invite you to the Symposium on Authentication  
Technologies for Research and Education; IGTF and TAGPMA 5th  
Anniversary celebration and 12th TAGPMA Face-to-Face meeting Oct. 4-7,  
2010.  (Based on feedback, we have slightly shortened the title of the  
symposium.)

The focus remains the same - we are interested in hearing about  
working solutions (like InCommon CA, CILogin, 4-Bridge Forum, USHER  
and other Bridge-CA movements, Terena, EduRoam, Kerberos, Shibboleth- 
based and Classic CA infrastructures) that can contribute to the  
solutions for simple but effective provision of strong authentication  
in research, educational, government and industrial settings -  
especially those that can work to bridge the gap between the first two  
and the latter of these.  We expect to arrive at or hear about  
solutions during this meeting, to make progress in fostering  
communication among these projects, and to provide a forum for  
exchange among experts.

Talks will be short, but not unduly so, and you will be given enough  
time to explain and expand on your idea or project  The audience will  
be a group of people familiar with this problem and knowledgeable  
about working solutions in concept or in practice that have a track  
record or substantial promise for near-term deployment progress.  We  
are interested in receiving feedback from those who have deployed some  
of these solutions in large-scale academic, industrial, government and  
research settings.

The symposium is timed to precede the subsequent 5th anniversary of  
the International Grid Trust Federation and The Americas Grid Policy  
Management Authority and will share an evening reception.  An  
international flavor will be present in some of the talks as a result,  
and the audience will consist of and include relevant representatives  
and experts.

Your presence and participation in this symposium and (if appropriate)  
subsequent meeting are hereby requested and invited.  Please feel free  
to distribute this poster.  Thank you very much for your consideration.

Yours very sincerely,
