MEETING NOTICE ============== UniForum Chicago holds its monthly general meeting on Tuesday, August 16, 1994 at the College of DuPage and everyone is welcome. This month's speaker is Bruce Schneier, author of APPLIED CRYPTOGRAPHY, (B. Schneier, Wiley Inc., 1993). Quoting the back cover of Bruce's book: "The explosive growth of public and private computer networks has resulted in a tremendous increase in the colume of sensitive and valuable data that is routinely stored and transmitted digitally. From computer messages speeding through global networks to vast sums of money transferred electronically, the greatest challenge in this new digital world is keeping this formation out of the hands of unauthorized users who prey on vulnerable computer systems. "In APPLIED CRYPTOGRAPHY, data security expert Bruce Schneier details how programmers can use cryptography--the technique of enciphering and deciphering messages--to maintain the privacy of computer data. Covering the latest developments in practical cryptographic techniques, the book shows programmers who design computer applications, networks, and storage systems how security can be built into the computer software and systems we use every day.
