Steve Gibson of Gibson of Gibson Research Corporation, a computer security firm, turned me on to this newsletter in his most recent message. The current newsletter from Bruce Schneier's Crypto-Gram Security Newsletter looks at the security fixes that are being promoted in response to the recent terror tactics. He's looking at the proposed physical fixes at the airports and elsewhere from the standpoint of a computer security expert (this isn't about computer security).
The topics covered are:
The Attacks Airline Security Regulations
Biometrics in Airports
Diagnosing Intelligence Failures
Regulating Cryptography
Terrorists and Steganography
News
Protecting Privacy and Liberty
How to Help
This is a very long piece with a tremendous number of links to supporting information and where you can go into the various issues in depth. This is kind of a must read article and it’s author has asked that it be read widely.
The URL for this specific newsletter on his views of the proposed security changes is http://www.counterpane.com/crypto-gram-0109a.html at the end you can subscribe to the free newsletter.
I posted a few of the articles a few minutes ago.
I've got back issues on my website.
