>>

>> 
>> 12.  DNSSEC and DANE in the enterprise
>> 
>> 
>> 
>> Enterprises can play a critical role in both providing DNSSEC validation

>> address questions such as:
>> 
>> * What are the benefits to enterprises of rolling out DNSSEC validation?
>> And how do they do so?
>> 
>> * What are the challenges to deployment for these organizations and how
>> could DANE and other DNSSEC applications address those challenges?
>> 
>> * How should an enterprise best prepare its IT staff and network to
>> implement DNSSEC?
>> 
>> * What tools and systems are available to assist enterprises in the
>> deployment of DNSSEC?
>> 
>> * How can the DANE protocol be used within an enterprise to bring a
>> higher level of security to transactions using SSL/TLS certificates?
>> 
>> 
>> 
>> 13. Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) use cases and innovation

>> 
>> 
>> We are interested in demonstrations of HSMs, presentations of

>> management. 
>>
