>
> A decade ago, Philip R. Zimmermann released an encryption program, Pretty 
> Good Privacy (PGP).  For that, the Federal government charged him with 
> violations of the Arms Export Control Act for munitions trafficking.  The 
> government held that U.S. national security was jeopardized when PGP was 
> spread around the world as free encryption software.  The case against 
> Phil Zimmermann continued for three years. Without a paid staff, without a 
> company to stand behind it, without sufficient funding, and despite 
> government persecution, PGP became the most widely used email encryption 
> software in the world. The feds eventually dropped their case against Phil 
> Zimmermann.
>
> Phil Zimmermann will make a rare appearance on Tuesday, July 31st in San 
> Francisco to talk about encryption and the federal government's attempts 
> to control the free speech of programmers through the Digital Millennium 
> Copyright Act (DMCA).  Mr. Zimmermann will also discuss the OpenPGP email 
> encryption standard alliance, the future of public key encryption, and 
> answer questions from the audience.
>
> Purpose
>
> We are bringing in leading experts in many aspects of Internet Security 
> and Privacy to discuss how to protect yourself and your customers against 
> attacks over the Internet.  They will explain which threats you should pay 
> attention to first, and how to reduce your risk.
>
> Organized by Montebello Partners and PaperlessInvoice, our three special 
> events will focus on the technologies for public key infrastructure, 
> securing credit card information and transactions, and securing your 
> network against intrusion with firewalls and virtual private 
> networks.  Our speakers will provide a top-level view of best security 
> practices, as well as practical technical advice on designing, 
> implementing, and managing secure systems.
>
> In addition, these events are a great opportunity to meet your colleagues 
> who are also building and administering the latest Internet systems.  Find 
> out what malicious activity others have encountered, and what they're 
> doing about it.
