I just purchased Bruce Schneier's _Applied Cryptography_ (John Wiley & Sons, 1994; ISBN # 0-471-59756-2; $49.95). Worth every cent I paid for it. It covers every single possible aspect of computer information security -- including a section on the infamous PGP = the security program Pretty Good Privacy," which can _not_ be broken by _anyone_ who does not have whatever key you yourself choose for the encryptation on your data. The next edition will _not_ carry that chapter -- the government has stepped in and is threatening a court action unless the publishers strike it from the next edition. So get your copy now -- and get one of PGP, because the feds have a bill _already_ in the words to make sale, distribution, etc of it completely illegal in the US.
Rubbish. Not even _amusing_ rubbish. -- Lefty (lefty@apple.com) C:.M:.C:., D:.O:.D:.
