The environments range from benign to the most hostile settings, with danger from steam rollers and caustic chemicals. Bringing industrial-grade solutions to workers in these settings requires a full understanding of the mobile worker’s profile, the mobile application delivery architecture, and vendors’ ability to deliver and support these solutions — all before the issue of device selection comes into the picture. This panel will explore all the elements required for true industrial-grade computing, as well as the ways in which these elements are evolving.

Today it is an essential part of protecting our economies from bad guys, and PGP has become accepted by governments as a positive influence. All manner of encryption is needed to protect society from organized crime and foreign governments. Soon, new seismic realignment of government attitudes about encryption may appear. Historically, law enforcement has benefited from a strong asymmetry in the feasibility of government or criminals wiretapping old fashioned telephone calls. As we migrate to VoIP, that asymmetry collapses. Without VoIP encryption, organized crime will be able to wiretap prosecutors and judges, leading law enforcement to see VoIP encryption in a different light. His talk will also cover his new secure VoIP project, Zfone. (1 hr) Philip Zimmermann Fri, 25 Jan 2008 10:14:17 GMT Keynote Session
