Thinking about security

I first got wind of this excellent newsletter by Bruce Schneier by a friend a couple of years back, and I’ve subscribed ever since.

Every month a jam-packed collection about security news, cryptography, security-mindedness and the latest research in related fields arrives in my mail box, and it is just full of interesting and intelligent ideas and thoughts.

If you have any interest in what makes us secure, what the latest development in snake-oil products has to offer or why a certain strategy looks good but is merely costly and why another strategy places the burden on the wrong party while a third – while not spectacular or expensive – may be the most effective of them all you should subscribe to Crypto-Gram.

Coming to think of it, I probably have Applied Cryptography in some shelf somewhere since way back when. I should re-read it. Or at least read it
