I am going to move in Chicago in the end of this year and I am looking for a job there. Brief information: Belarussian State University (mathamatics dep.), Ph.D. in mathematics (algebra, arithmetic geometry) in 1995, during some period was interested in algebraic methods in the image processing, now dealing with mathematical (algebraic and partially statistical) methods in data security (cryptography), programming experience in Visual C++ 5.0 (C++, MFC, DB, ActiveX by MFC). I am ready to sent my CV, list of my papers, and any other detailed information needed. I am also looking for colleagues everywhere! 2. By the way, in some info-russ letters the problem of e-mail privacy was discussed. I would like to write some words on that topic. There is always a great risk that your envelope can be opened before its arrival. And there is the unique way to keep the privacy: encrypt the letter before sending. It is especially important, if your letter contains your bank account number, credit card number and so on. The same situation takes place in case of e-mail. The cheapest, simplest, and most reliable way is to apply some cryptosystem (with either public or private key). Good cryptosystems are totally practically unbreakable. You can use coding programs built in your Internet browser, in your e-mail program or separate encrypting-decrypting programs (for example, PGP). Attention: the export of crypto programs is strictly forbidden by the american law. But everyone can get such programs by Internet on the European servers without any restrictions. Some nice helpful books on that topic: - "Personal Computer Security" by Ed Tiley (for users), - "Internet Security Secrets" by John R. Vacca (both for users and specialists), - "Handbook of Applied Cryptography" by Alfred Menezes and others (for specialists). Best regards, Genady. MARGOL@newman.basnet.minsk.by
