Following the success of the CDSA Awareness Days co-sponsored by Intel, IBM and The Open Group, there is demand for continuing information about the Common Data Security Architecture (CDSA).  The CDSA Newsletter is distributed by email and via the Web.  It carries news and information about CDSA, and is issued as and when articles become available.  Each issue is  just a few pages, making it easy to digest.  Longer articles are serialized or summarized in the newsletter and are made available from the Web.

How to get hold of a copy  

The email version of the CDSA Newsletter is being distributed through
a number of email lists.  At a suitable time, we will restrict the circulation
to those who have registered with The Open Group specifically to receive
this Newsletter.  If you want to be sure to get each issue immediately
upon publication,  please register.

The web version can be accessed by members of The Open Group and
those who have registered for our HeadsUp information service.
