[2]  Recent Crypto Legislation Summary                            (~30 min)
      with Greg Broiles <gbroiles@netbox.com>
       - summary of the recent crypto legislation
         - ProCODE
         - ECPA 1997 (s. 376)


[3]  pre-CFP97 Discussion Session                                 (~30 min)
      see <http://www.cfp.org/>


[4]  The Latest from Ian                                          (~30 min)
      with Ian Goldberg <iang@cs.berkeley.edu>
       - PDF417-barcode-to-ecash converter utility
       - RSA implementation for the Pilot

[5]  Trust Metrics                                                (~60 min)
      with Raph Levien <raph@acm.org>
       - Doctoral thesis update:
         - measuring & comparing trust metrics (successes and failures)
         - some limitations of the distributed certification approach
       - Two-way Web anonymizing
         Existing Web anonymizers (www.anonymizer.com and onion routers)
         provide anonymity only to the browser of information. I will
         propose a protocol analogous to the one used by e-mail nymservers
         that also allows information to be published anonymously. This
         protocol fully supports caching, and also makes it relatively
         difficult to mount spam, harassment and security flaw exploitation
         attacks.
