1998 Global Business Infrastructure 2000 (GBI 2000) Conference
Kurhaus Hotel, Scheveningen, The Hague, March 31st - 2nd April 1998

Key components in creating a secure electronic commerce environment are the 
captured in the OECD principles of International Cooperation, Choice and Market-
driven Cryptographic Methods, Privacy, Lawful Access, Liability & Legal Aspects 
and Standards & Trust.. The 1998 GBI 2000 conference, organized by International 
Commerce eXchange (ICX), will review progress on the implementation of the OECD 
Guidelines and continue the dialogue begun last year.  ICX is a non profit 
making forum for businesses by businesses who take part in electronic commerce 
over any network and who need confidence in its security.

1998 GBI 2000 Programme

1998 GBI 2000 provides six half day briefing sessions and panel discussions. 
Each session will involve representatives from business users, vendors, 
governments and international organizations. 

On the second day of the conference a parallel meeting of the International 
Cryptography Experiment (ICE) meeting will provide ICE participants with an 
overview of important technology developments in the provision of international 
cryptographic solutions capable of meeting global business information security 
needs. 

The combination of GBI 2000 and ICE is a unique opportunity to review and 
contribute to progress on the issues and technologies enabling secure electronic 
commerce in the next millennium.

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.
