This month's meeting:

  Matt Curtin of the OSU CIS department will talk about Shibboleth, a
  private mailing list manager:

    We describe Shibboleth, a program to manage private Internet
    mailing lists. Differing from other mailing list managers,
    Shibboleth manages lists or groups of lists which are closed, or
    have membership by invitation only. So instead of focusing on
    automating the processes of subscribing and unsubscribing readers,
    we include features like SMTP forgery detection, prevention of
    outsiders' ability to harvest usable email addresses from mailing
    list archives, and support for cryptographic strength user
    authentication and nonrepudiation.

  Matt Curtin is a senior systems developer/engineer and lecturer at The
  Ohio State University's Computer and Information Science Department as
  well as "Original Hacker" at Interhack Corporation, which provides
  Internet security and privacy products and services.

  He hacks applications and systems code, supports the department's Open
  Source software, and teaches young padawans the ways of the lambda.
  He is an active member of a varying number of IETF working groups and
  communities related to firewalls, cryptography, and open operating
  systems.  During the summer of 1997, he helped lead the team that
  defeated DES, the US Government standard for data encryption.  He
  doesn't sleep much and after listening to him talk about how little
  security there is, you probably won't sleep much either.
    
  The meeting will be Wednesday May 24 from 4-6 PM in Baker Systems
  120. 

About these meetings:

  The Network Security Group meetings are usually held on the fourth
  Wednesday of each month from 4-6 PM on the Ohio State University
  main campus in Columbus (usually in Baker Systems 120).  The goal of
  our meetings is to share information about computer security tools,
  practices and problems.  Anyone and everyone are invited to attend.

  We also have mailing lists for people who are interested in
  discussing network security issues, or who just want announcements
  about meetings and security bulletins.  Send mail to
  romig@net.ohio-state.edu for more information.

  Note that this is *not* the same as the bi-weekly security lunch at
  Battelle (the AEGIS group), though you are welcome to attend
  either.  For more information about AEGIS, please contact me.

  See http://www.net.ohio-state.edu/security for information about the
  services that we provide, future meetings, resources, contact
  information, directions, mailing lists, free money (just kidding!)
  and so on...
