International Commerce eXchange (ICX)
ICX was created in response to the need for a single focal point encompassing
all aspects of creating trust in the global information infrastructure.
ICX addresses this issue by bringing together large, medium and small business
users, suppliers and governments to work for the mutual benefit of all. ICX will
create trust by identifying and satisfying legal and regulatory requirements,
developing and disseminating business best practices and procedures, pinpointing
and promoting appropriate technical standards and controls.
Active involvement in ICX activities will contribute to bringing together the
wide diversity of knowledge, skills and experience needed to provide practical
secure electronic commerce solutions to shared problems. ICX will identify and
develop best practices that can be the basis for market driven standards. ICX
makes all the advice and solutions it identifies freely available to its
members.
Details on how you can join ICX can be found at http:/www.icx.org
International Cryptography Experiment
The International Cryptography Experiment (ICE) is seeking to encourage the
provision of international cryptographic solutions capable of meeting global
business information security needs. Cryptography is a crucial technology for
the provision of information security services within the emerging Global
Information Infrastructure (GII). However, many governments are concerned that
the extensive and unconstrained availability of strong cryptography may
undermine their law enforcement and national security interests. These
conflicting pressures have resulted in a wide range of technical and non-
technical activities that are seeking to offer solutions that achieve a widely
accepted balance between the different interests involved. The ICE an
initiative has been running since early 1994 as an informal international
alliance of government and industry groups with a common interest in promoting
internationally interoperable cryptographic security solutions. More
information on ICE is available at: http://www.tis.com/crypto/ice.html.
