What ever happened to Financial Cryptography? The organisers did say they were going to look at wider accessibility for the coming year, but I see only these papers that are, from the titles at least, anything that speaks to non-cryptographers: ...
How Much Security is Enough to Stop a Thief? Stuart E. Schechter and Michael D. Smith ... Even they're a stretch. All are specialised, and none are of interest to the non-deep-techies.
I don't think you'll find our paper to be overly technical - at least not from a computer science or cryptographic perspective. We wrote this paper because we believe that determining the level of security necessary to deter an adversary is a problem of more general interest. Best regards Stuart Schechter
