Center for Applied Cybersecurity Research's 2004-05 Speaker Series Continues
Professor Fred Cate, director of the Center for Applied Cybersecurity Research, is pleased to announce that Simson Garfinkel, chief technology officer at Sandstorm Enterprises, will be the noon speaker in the Law School's faculty conference room. Students, staff, and faculty are invited. The doors will be open at 11:30 a.m.; the talk begins at noon and ends at 1 p.m. There will be a question and answer period for about 15 minutes after the talk. Garfinkel will be speaking on the topic of "Aligning Security and Usability with Key Continuity Management." Secure e-mail has struggled with significant obstacles to adoption, among them the low usability of encryption software and the cost and overhead of obtaining public key certificates. Key continuity management (KCM) has been proposed as a way to lower these barriers to adoption by making key generation, key management, and message signing essentially automatic. Garfinkel will present the results of the first user study of KCM-secured e-mail, conducted on naive users who had no previous experience with secure e-mail.

NEWS FROM THE FACULTY
Professor Kenneth Dau-Schmidt gave a presentation titled "Labor Law in the Contemporary Workplace" to the Legal Advisory Committee of the Office of the General Counsel, AFL-CIO, in Washington, D.C., on Feb. 16.
Professor Fred Cate wrote an editorial response that was published in USA Today on Feb. 28. The newspaper's editorial view was titled "Few companies have to tell when identity thieves strike." Cate's opposing view was titled "Another notice isn't answer," which stated that a California law requiring businesses to notify consumers when the security of their personal data is breached is a poor substitute for real action to address identity theft.
Professor Fred Aman will speak at the first PTTP Public Lecture at the Osgoode Hall Law School at York University in Toronto on March 9. He will give his lecture titled "The Changing Face of Regulatory Law in Globalized States and Markets."
Two of Professor Craig Bradley's works are cited in the recent juvenile death penalty case of Roper v. Simmons on pages 18, 19, and 21 of Justice Antonin Scalia's dissent. The case was decided March 1. The text of the dissent can be found at http://scotus.ap.org/scotus/03-633p.zd1.pdf.

Professor Geyh Sings for Summer Salaries; PILF Raises More Than $4,000
Many thanks to Professor Charles Geyh, who came prepared for his ascension to the PILF "Singing for Summer Salaries" stage. Decked out in stylish glasses and a feather boa, the talented troubadour trolled "Lawyers, Guns, and Money." More important than the discovery of this awesome talent is the fact that Professor Geyh's performance was the culmination of an event that raised more than $4,000 for PILF summer fellowships! This amount will be matched by the school. On behalf of PILF and the communities these summer fellowships will benefit, thanks so much to all of you who contributed to the cause.

Phi Alpha Delta law fraternity will have a brief binding service set up in the Law School's second floor mail room. The cost per brief is $5, which is cheaper than Kinko's. Plus, law students know how their briefs should look, and we are open later than other copy shops in Bloomington. Save yourself time, trouble, and gas money! Contact Leslie at lbmorse@indiana.edu or Lisa at laadelma@indiana.edu with questions.
