        Update on EC Privacy Directive

        Information privacy is increasingly recognized as a
critical issue with very difficult problems and divergent
viewpoints.  This presentation will include an update on the
status of the EC Privacy Directive and will provide an important
foundation for the card technology presentations and work
group meetings that follow.

9:45 - 11:00

        Card Technology Forum

        This presentation and discussion will consider the
growing (and unresolved) legal-technical issues in card
technologies.  Forget about "signatures" - - "smart cards" and
optical cards are geared to become commonplace (and often
mandatory) as authenticators and record keepers, respectively,
for diverse business and government purposes.  For example,
patient health records are being placed on "portable data
carriers" (optical cards), Denmark will launch the first nation-
wide smart card for users to make phone calls, pay for public
transportation, laundries, vending machines and parking
meters; smart cards are anticipated to be mandatory for
S.W.I.F.T. usage from the first quarter of 1994; universities are
issuing smart cards as student IDs; corporate ID cards are
moving towards smart cards; material data safety information
is capable of transfer via cards; bank cards in France use
microchips rather than magnetic stripes; and health insurance
and HMOs have ambitious plans to introduce smart and optical
card technologies.

        We are pleased to welcome recognized smart card and
optical card technology industry and user-group leaders who
will present tutorials and a survey of relevant issues.

        Stephen D. Price-Francis,
        Manager, Market Development

        The session will include consideration of security,
confidentiality and the impact of business practices issues in
financial services, government, insurance, healthcare, sales of
goods and related applications in both domestic and
international environments.

11:00 - 12:30

        The Developing Security Infrastructure: Linking Signature
and Authentication Requirements with Today's Technology

        This presentation and discussion will consider legal
approaches to the development of workable rules for
authentication and the accomodation of signature attributes
within an electronic commerce environment.  This session will
consider and seek to integrate the pertinent formalistic and
evidentiary issues.  Special consideration will be given to the
requirements of global data networks and open systems and
open trading environments.  Additionally, attention will be
given to security requirements within Financial EDI
applications.

12:30 - 1:20 PM

        Informal Brown Bag Lunch Discussion of New
Developments, Ideas, Events and their Implications. (Sandwich
lunch will be provided at $15.00 each).

1:30 - 4:45 PM

        Committee Work Group Meetings (tentatively as follows):

        *       Global Data Networks and Information Technology:
a working group session to consider the growing implications of
EDI, information privacy, and transborder data flow issues.

        *       Financial EDI: a working group session on debit
transfer issues for the development of a debt transfer version
of the Model Electronic Payments Agreement.

        *       Information Security: a continuation of the
morning's discussion with respect to development of proposed
paradigms to define better requirements for "reasonable
security procedures," with a focus on information security
techniques and procedures.

        *       Healthcare Informatics: a working group session on
privacy, confidentiality and security issues regarding claims
processing and patient records.
