I'm at the RSA security conference this week. That's me and 16,999 security geeks running amok in downtown SF trying to acquire that final piece in the puzzle for it all to make sense!
could it be from the Secretary of Homeland Defense - Michael Chertoff? no. but it is comforting to know the government is looking to recruit from the private sector.
how about from the president of RSA, Art Coviello? noooot exactly
Actually, the best comment of the day came from Whitfield Diffie when asked if he was 20, where would he put his research energy. This guy is one of the giants of the cryptography field - the Diffie-Helms algorithm was THE standard several years ago that we used when it was something you seriously had to keep private. He said - I'd go into genetics. Bio-engineering of genes is where it's going to be at. THEN it got a little wierd ... but it probably won't translate well, so let's just say you had to be there. ;)
