Poll after poll of conference attendees, users, and corporations
shows that the primary concern of Internet users world wide is the potential
for unauthorized access to their personal or proprietary information.
This issue threatens to slow or limit the worldwide adoption of
the Internet for commercial use. The lack of security
touches all of those who are concerned about copyright, individual privacy,
and personal freedom.
What progress has been made? Is this a solvable problem? Do
Internet users have to sacrifice their open, freewheeling culture in
order to provide necessary security for the Net? Does this commercialization
work in the current architecture of the Internet? Do we have a choice?
These are the questions our moderator will pose to a distinguished
group of industry and technology leaders, each of whom has a large stake in the
outcome of this debate. This should be a fiery discussion!
