From: Robert Hettinga Subject: DCSB: Donald Eastlake; "SET and UNSET" Date: Thursday, December 11, 1997 1:56 PM The Digital Commerce Society of Boston Presents Donald Eastlake 3rd Cybercash, Inc. SET and UNSET Tuesday, January 6, 1997 12 - 2 PM The Downtown Harvard Club of Boston One Federal Street, Boston, MA After great gestational pain, version 1.0 of the complex, heavyweight Secure Electronic Transacation (SET) protocol has been promulgated by the credit card association, is being deployed in pilots, and is continuing to have features added to it in a SET 2.0 design effort. Meanwhile, the environment that lead to SET continues to change and new alternatives for securing card/account based transactions are being suggested. Donald Eastlake 3rd is a Principal Systems Engineer at CyberCash, Inc. before which he was in the Pathworks network group at Digital Equipment Corporation. At CyberCash, he helped design the "CyberCash message format" documented in RFC 2898 and implemented the library routines that support them. He also architected and did the preliminary implementation of CyberCash's SET implementation. He is active in IETF standards efforts and is currently the document editor for the IETF DNS security working group including RFCs 2065 and 2137. This meeting of the Digital Commerce Society of Boston will be held on Tuesday, January 6, 1997, from 12pm - 2pm at the Downtown Branch of the Harvard Club of Boston, on One Federal Street. The price for lunch is $32.50. This price includes lunch, room rental, various A/V hardware, and the speaker's lunch. ;-). The Harvard Club *does* have dress code: jackets and ties for men (and no sneakers or jeans), and "appropriate business attire" (whatever that means), for women. Fair warning: since we purchase these luncheons in advance, we will be unable to refund the price of your lunch if the Club finds you in violation of the dress code. We will attempt to record this meeting and put it on the web in RealAudio format at some future date We need to receive a company check, or money order, (or, if we *really* know you, a personal check) payable to "The Harvard Club of Boston", by Saturday, January 3rd, or you won't be on the list for lunch. Checks payable to anyone else but The Harvard Club of Boston will have to be sent back. Checks should be sent to Robert Hettinga, 44 Farquhar Street, Boston, Massachusetts, 02131. Again, they *must* be made payable to "The Harvard Club of Boston", in the amount of $32.50. Please include your e-mail address, so that we can send you a confirmation If anyone has questions, or has a problem with these arrangements (We've had to work with glacial A/P departments more than once, for instance), please let us know via e-mail, and we'll see if we can work something out.
