When
people want to schedule a meeting, their agendas must be compared to find
a time suitable to all participants. At the same time, people want to keep
their agendas private. This paper presents several approaches which intend
to solve this contradiction. A custom-made protocol for secure meeting scheduling
and a protocol based on secure distributed computing are discussed. The security
properties and complexity of these protocols are compared. A trade-off between
trust and bandwidth requirements is shown to be possible by implementing the
protocols using mobile agents.
