Subject: [MAD-SAGE] Thursday, January 9: Crypto for IT Staff

MAD-SAGE invites you to join your peers for "networking" and discussion:

Date:     Thursday, January 9, 2003

Time:     6:00 PIZZA and "networking"

          6:30 Technical Program: Crypto for IT Staff


	       Speaker: Jim Leinweber,
	       Security officer, WI State Lab of Hygiene
	       volunteer, Badger Incident Response Team

	       Confused by digital certificates? Puzzled about Public
	       Keys? Still nervous about the day DES died? Want to know
	       what your web browser is really doing with that HTTPS
	       site?

	       Join us for a tour of 8 basic cryptographic building
	       blocks including symmetric secret key ciphers such as
	       3DES and AES, public key algorithms such as RSA, and
	       digital signatures. See how these are combined in
	       commonly encountered applications and protocols including
	       digital certificates, TLS/SSL, SSH, IPSEC, PGP, S/MIME,
	       and Tripwire. Leave with practical advice about crypto
	       do's and don'ts, including appropriate key lengths, how
	       far back your servers can safely go with older protocols,
	       and the warning signs of bad "snake oil" crypto.

Location: Epic Systems, 5301 Tokay Blvd
