I don't think you understand the concept of digital signatures. There is a simple description here:

It does not mean the end to free software and independant development. It means you check the signature on the software you downloaded to ensure it actually came from the developer you think it came from.

As the parent post noted, Red Hat signs their RPM releases with Red Hat's digital signature. You can still download the Red Hat RPMs from an independant mirror but you don't install them if the signature test fails.

There are now 147 cryptography and cryptography-related books (90 reviewed). 29 of the books have on-line errata links, and 7 of the books are free to download in their entirety.

Check out reviews of LOTS of cryptography books here -- most with an associated set of prerequisite book reading, math, and computer language skills.

It may not be enough, but I perfer to believe that cryptography study should begin with books.

Here are 81 cryptography books I've reviewed.

With most I've included an associated set of prerequisite book reading, math, and computer language skills necessary to understand the book. Hopefully this will help the beginner hit the ground running, and the more experienced should discover a few hard-to-find books to start tracking down for their personal collections.

Many scale free distributions in user patterns have already been discovered (i.e. web pages against user visits -- a few popular sites like Amazon and Ebay, but lots of mediocre web sites like mine). You generally get a scale free distribution of transactions anytime people interact with one another in a way that they feel is advantageous (preferential). Even more interesting is when web usage becomes content becomes web usages becomes... etc. Such as Amazon's "Customers who bought this book also bought", or when Google's page rank become self reinforcing over time.

Round Go is an interesting variant. No corners to fight over, and four liberties on every point. Print out the PDF board available here.
