   Jeffrey Altman has been a member of the jxta.org community since April 2001.He was elected to the JXTA Board of Directors in 2002.He's one of the owners of the Spec project and a contributor on the Java Platform and Security projects.Jeffrey has done extensive work with JXTA Security to define security architecture.He presented a talk at JavaOne Virtual Transport Layer Security.He dedicates to Project JXTA as much time as he can afford and still pay for beer.
   
   Jeffrey's involvement in JXTA is not merely academic.He was the Director of Networking and Security Technologies at Internet Access Methods, www.iamethods.com and www.iam-there.com, which (prior to its closure) developed a wide array of technologies in Real-Time Interactive User Interfaces.IAM technologies include IAM->Developing a collaborative Integrated Development Environment and IAM->Swinging which enables Collaboration from any Swing/AWT GUI component.
   
   In January 2004, Jeffrey founded Secure Endpoints Inc.Secure Endpoints Inc. is focused on the development of open source standards based mechanisms for the secure exchange of information between peers.In addition to his participation in the JXTA community, Jeffrey is a core team member of MIT's Kerberos Group; a Gatekeeper in the OpenAFS.org community; and an IETF Working Group chair in the Security Area.
   
   Jeffrey believes Project JXTA provides a new networking framework for use in developing both managed peer to peer communities as well as completely ad-hoc peer networks.He says JXTA will provide the necessary constructs for a universal secure notion of identity that will allow subsequent generations of collaborative applications and distributed services to be implemented.JXTA has the potential for completely rewriting the rules by which computer software and services are sold, developed, and distributed.
   
   Jeffrey thinks that communications between networked devices will become highly localized both by logical grouping of entities and within physical space.The typical examples include the distributed calendar shared by your PDA, alarm clock, and office systems; and the wireless mall where upon entry to the grounds your PDA picks up the map of the mall, locations of empty parking spaces, the times and availabilities of films at the theater, menus for restaurants, sales at various shops, plus the necessary tools to order tickets, make reservations, etc. In both cases, the communications are bi-directional and completely peer oriented.In one case, the networks are managed peers and in the second ad-hoc.
   
   Jeffrey says that the current focus of the media is on peer-to-peer systems which are designed to provide users anonymous private mechanisms, most frequently used to trade in media content.The most likely result of a wide spread distributed peer to peer infrastructure based on JXTA is a network that provides for strong privacy but lacks anonymity (at least in the sense that all peers have a well defined secure identity.) This allows JXTA to be used as the basis for transactions between peers as a form of trade.This should have widespread implications for the exchange of products and services in all industries not to mention significantly alter the way we live our day to day lives.
