PKI
For many years, Lockstep founder Stephen Wilson has published provocative, innovative and penetrating analyses of PKI, its historical problems, and practical ways to better deploy this unique technology.
eHealth
Authentication in e-health is of special interest. Security and privacy need not be traded off against one another, if privacy enhancing architectures -- using embedded PKI and smartcards -- can be implemented. Practical models are included of large scale health PKI.
