It is called "Practical Security" and is aimed at discussing security measures in the context of real problems in real projects. It has a much narrower scope than the Cryptography mailing list and by no means intends to replace it or to compete with it. From the mailing list info page: This forum discusses applications of cryptographic protocols as well as other security techniques, such as (but not limited to) methods for authentication, data protection, reverse-engineering protection, denial-of-service protection, and digital rights management. The forum also discusses implementation pitfalls to avoid. This forum does not discuss theoretical and/or mathematical aspects of cryptography. Neither does the forum discuss particular vulnerabilities of commercial products, such as what one may find in BugTraq. Joining this mailing list is especially recommended to professionals who design security systems and to application designers who are also responsible for the security aspects of their products. I confess that at the moment of writing the list has just a few participants, but I project that it will grow much larger.
