As Europe creates the Information Society, ensuring the security and privacy of its advanced telecommunications and computer networks has become critically important. Cryptography is a crucial technology to protect these networks. Law enforcement and intelligence agencies, led by the the United States, are lobbying national governments and international organizations for laws and international agreements to enhance their abilities to monitor networks through the use of "trusted third parties," key escrow and key recovery systems. This has met with considerable debate and resistance in many countries and international meetings. This conference will bring together leading legal and technical experts from around the world to discuss encryption and telecommunications security with a focus on issues raised by trusted third party, key escrow and key recovery systems. A panel of leading cryptographers and computer security experts will examine the technical problems and risks raised. Representatives from governments, human rights groups, industry, user groups, and international organizations will discuss their perspectives and provide updates on developments from around Europe and the world.
