The conference will examine the detailed technical, commercial and legal issues of licensing and digital signatures, but will also examine the civil liberties questions raised by the requirements of law enforcement. We especially wish to advance the agenda beyond key-escrow, to consider the implications for public policy of Walsh report solutions.
Scrambling for Safety events traditionally attract a strong attendance from the Internet user and business communities, and admission will be free of charge.
For directions to the LSE maps are available of the general area, and of the school itself on the LSE website.
