>
>A decade ago, Philip R. Zimmermann released an encryption program, Pretty 
>Good Privacy (PGP).  For that, the Federal government charged him with 
>violations of the Arms Export Control Act for munitions trafficking.  The 
>government held that U.S. national security was jeopardized when PGP was 
>spread around the world as free encryption software.  The case against 
>Phil Zimmermann continued for three years. Without a paid staff, without a 
>company to stand behind it, without sufficient funding, and despite 
>government persecution, PGP became the most widely used email encryption 
>software in the world. The feds eventually dropped their case against Phil 
>Zimmermann.
>
>Phil Zimmermann will make a rare appearance on Tuesday, July 31st in San 
>Francisco to talk about encryption and the federal government's attempts 
>to control the free speech of programmers through the Digital Millennium 
>Copyright Act (DMCA).  Mr. Zimmermann will also discuss the OpenPGP email 
>encryption standard alliance, the future of public key encryption, and 
>answer questions from the audience.
>
>Purpose
>
>We are bringing in leading experts in many aspects of Internet Security 
>and Privacy to discuss how to protect yourself and your customers against 
>attacks over the Internet.  They will explain which threats you should pay 
>attention to first, and how to reduce your risk.
>
>Organized by Montebello Partners and PaperlessInvoice, our three special 
>events will focus on the technologies for public key infrastructure, 
>securing credit card information and transactions, and securing your 
>network against intrusion with firewalls and virtual private 
>networks.  Our speakers will provide a top-level view of best security 
>practices, as well as practical technical advice on designing, 
>implementing, and managing secure systems.
>
>In addition, these events are a great opportunity to meet your colleagues 
>who are also building and administering the latest Internet systems.  Find 
>out what malicious activity others have encountered, and what they're 
>doing about it.
>
>Please join us, and bring your questions and experiences to share.
