Dear Colleague:
If you are working in electronic commerce, you know how much has
happened since our first workshop 16 months ago. There are now a variety
of commerce service providers up and running, the Visa/Mastercard Secure
Electronic Transaction standard is rapidly evolving, smartcard/electronic
wallet experiments are being tried in many places throughout the world, and
new online merchants are popping up daily.
To brief you on all of these activities and other advancements, we have
assembled a program of first rate technical papers, invited talks, panel
sessions, and tutorials. As you will see, our program features an
exceptional range of topics, and you will have many opportunities for
interaction, discussion, and joint exploration of the frontiers of electronic
commerce.
We are pleased this year to offer the program at the Claremont Hotel in the
beautiful setting of the hills of Berkeley and North Oakland. We are
particularly happy to have the UC Berkeley School of Information
Management and Systems as a cosponsor of this workshop, and we will
have events on the UC Berkeley campus.
This is a super-hot field, and whether you are a practitioner, researcher,
potential merchant, financial service provider, or just trying to understand
the scope of the field of electronic commerce, I am certain that this
workshop will be useful to you.
I look forward to seeing you in November!
Regards,
Doug Tygar

-- How to send a servlet request from an applet ("servlet" is a JavaSoft
proposal for server side extension -- the servlet API can be thought
of as a replacement for the CGI API).
-- Configuring your web environment so that a browser behind a
firewall can do DNS name resolution of machines outside the firewall
* Overview of Secure Java Platform
-- Language features: private, protected, namespace partioning,
memory management and garbage collection, arrays, strings, lack of
preprocessor. Learn how to take advantage of these language
features to write secure Java applets and applications.

The Law of Electronic Commerce - Contracts, Records, and Privacy
Benjamin Wright, Attorney and Author
Who Should Attend: Online and IS professionals, security managers,
EDI and Intranet managers, purchasing managers, lawyers, accountants,
and auditors with a general understanding of business transactions.
What You Will Learn: The application of common sense legal
principles to electronic commerce.
Do you have to know about the law as it applies to electronic commerce?
The application of existing laws as applied to electronic commerce is a
relatively new field that many computing professionals are required to
understand.
You will gain a broad overview of the legal and recordkeeping issues from a
lawyer's perspective, placing legal issues in a conceptual framework. You
will learn in detail the issues of electronic contract formation, electronic
signatures, computer evidence and privacy, establishing trust in cyberspace,
trading partner agreements, and network service provider agreements. You
will hear a thorough discussion of EC records, particularly those created
for state and federal tax purposes, and the role of third party recordkeepers.
There will be ample time for questions and dialog.
Specific topics include:
- An electronic contract lawsuit in the drug industry
- Admission of email evidence in a famous lawsuit
- Different business models for establishing trust
- The Model EDI Trading Partner Agreement
- Digital signature legislation in Utah, California and Florida
- Digital signature guidelines from the American Bar Association
- An IRS regulation on the recording of electronic transactions
- A model policy for recording electronic messages for tax purposes
- Model for third-party recordkeeper
Benjamin Wright is the author of The Law of Electronic Commerce: EDI, E-
mail and Internet He is also editor of EDI Forum, a quarterly journal
covering technology, business, legal and security issues in electronic
commerce. A graduate of Georgetown University Law School, Mr. Wright
is an attorney practicing electronic commercial law from Dallas, Texas. Mr
Wright will also be giving an Invited Talk on Tuesday.
M6pm (half day: 1:30 pm - 5:00 pm)
Breaking into the Web (Pun Intended)
Daniel Geer, Open Market, Inc.
Who Should Attend: Those running an Internet site who need to
understand the tradeoffs in making it secure or how the Internet is likely to
be secured.
What You Will Learn: Threat models, both technical and social
engineering, and countermeasures; tools to make plans that will work and
will convince management that they work.
Are you really doing business on the Internet by now? Were you blocked
from doing so by security issues, real or imagined? Are you the only one
worried and no one is listening?
Simple math says that the growth rate of the Internet means the skill level of
the average Internet user is going down fast. Simple avarice says that there
is a lot of money to made (or saved) by converting much of today's
commerce to an electronic one. Simple deviousness says that the
combination of a rising flux of money and a decreasing skill level are an
irresistible target. Simple engineering says that the optimal solution is not
one-size-fits-all, and it is on that that we will focus.
You will find out about threat models, both technical and social engineering,
and countermeasures. You will walk away with the tools to make plans that
will work and will convince management that they work. Luckily, we have
some good counterexamples to work from.
Daniel E. Geer, Jr. is director of engineering at Open Market, Inc., a leader
in electronic commerce technology. Formerly he was chief scientist, vice
president of technology and managing director of security consulting
services for OpenVision Technologies. He earned a doctor of science in
biostatistics from Harvard University.

Designing New Rules of the Road for Electronic Commerce in Digital Information
Pamela Samuelson, University of California, Berkeley
Congress is currently considering legislative proposals to strengthen
the rights of copyright owners in cyberspace and to create a new law to
protect database developers against unauthorized extractions and reuses
of database contents. Contract lawyers are working on new rules of the
road for contracts about digital information products and services. As
attractive as the idea of adopting new rules for electronic commerce in
digital information may be, current proposals may be based on assumptions
that will not prove workable in the electronic environment.
Pamela Samuelson is a Professor of Law and of Information Management at
the University of California at Berkeley. Her principal expertise is
intellectual property law; her principal interests are in the challenges
posed by digital technologies to existing legal regimes. She is a
Contributing Editor of Communications of the ACM for which she writes a
