Cryptography in a Hole - Cryptographic Service Providers

Overview "Plug-able cryptography" or "cryptography in a hole" is a concept that has gained considerable interest as it allows applications to be independent of particular cryptographic implementations. In particular, this paradigm enables an application to use a software crypto library in one case and different types of smart cards and USB tokens in other cases. Furthermore, such applications are prepared for future cryptographic implementations offering improved security.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
