Java.sun.com, Sun Microsystems' site for Java developers, has a fascinating
interview with Whitfield Diffie, the inventor of public key cryptography.
Among the insights I take away: security is never value neutral; the key to
strong security is fewer secrets because if you keep something secret that
cannot be readily changed, like an OS, you're in big trouble if it becomes
public; high tech security will always end up in the wrong hands; quantum
computing will break all cryptographic systems, but it won't matter because
of the positive benefits. He's a pretty amazing guy....
