ISSE 2001 is organised by EEMA - The European Forum for Electronic Business in conjunction with TeleTrusT - Association for the Promotion of Trustworthiness in Information and Communication Technology. The event is also supported by the European Commission and German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology and sponsored by AddTrust, GlobalSign, SAP AG, and Tivoli Systems.
