In this two part session we will explore the Diginotar incident and look forward and discuss potential solutions.

Part 1: The DigiNotar Case: So long and thanks for all the certificates. The report of a fraudulent certificate issued by DigiNotar came as a bombshell to GOVCERT.NL. The seriousness of the situation was clear immediately, though the real impact on Dutch society became apparant later that week. Aart will present the chain of events which led from the report from CERT Bund to the management takeover of DigiNotar by the government. He will provide a unique view behind the scenes.

Part 2: Discussion about the future of certificates Aart will present a few dilemmas that remain after the dust of the Diginotar incident has settled. Two experts in the field will introduce alternatives as an introduction to the discussion with the audience.
