On September 6, 2007, Dr. Peter Alterman, Chair of the Federal Public Key Infrastructure Policy Authority (FPKIPA), hosted a group of PKI experts from government and industry to determine:

1.      The strategic direction for the FPKI;

2.      Short-term actions in support of that FPKI strategic direction; and

3.      Long-term actions in support of that FPKI strategic direction

The results of this “Think Tank” are summarized in this paper, which is designed to encourage further discussion, exploration, and study by the FPKI.
