Crypto dialog with Steven Levy
What do the recent eFront ICQ fiasco and the recent Great Hack Attack have in common? Well, for one, judicious use of strong encryption could've conceivably prevented both catastrophes. Thus, this Feed/Plastic dialog with author Steven Levy comes at an important time. Levy is the author of a number of books, including his recent, Crypto: How the Code Rebels Beat the Government--Saving Privacy in the Digital Age. If you haven't read the book (and I haven't), then the lowdown on it is here. The Plastic dialog with Levy follows is pretty good, and is still developing. You might consider heading over there and contributing when you get the chance.
