All

Boeing will be hosting the IPSec Consortium Meeting on Monday November 2nd and Tuesday November 3rd (potentially extensible to the 4th if the agenda drives it) at our Long Acres facility just south of Seattle near Seatac airport.

The Consortium will have their regular meetings on Monday the 2nd.

On Tuesday the 3rd, we will hold discussions on the interoperability needs of industry with respect to the IP Security protocols. especially).

Over the last year the aviation industry, the US Railway Association, several of critical infrastructure sectors, and several others on this list have also expressed concerns/interest with an interoperability discussion including various government agencies.  For aviation at least, our global infrastructure of airlines, aviation services providers, airports, and governments create probably the most heterogeneous possible environment; our aircraft will often be in communication with multiple entities using completely different infrastructures and "vendors".   Having a simple to configure and easy to operate, IP Security infrastructure is of critical interest to us as I believe it will be to many of the industries and critical infrastructure sectors.

If you are interested in attending the meetings and these discussions, please reply back and I will provide you more details; also indicate if you would like to make a short presentation on your interoperability needs.  Boeing also intends to make teleconferencing and webex available for those interested but unable to attend in person.

Take care
