Bruce Schneier on Security Tradeoffs

Anonymous Smile writes "Business Week has an interview with Bruce Schneier on his new book 'Beyond Fear.' He talks about the tradeoffs we've made in the name of increased security. (hint: we've done a poor job so far) Bruce furthers his tradition of being accessible by the non-technical crowd."

Schneier speaking

Schneier's talks are incredibly accessible, especially when you consider how accomplished he is.

• designed the popular Blowfish encryption algorithm
• his Twofish was a finalist for the new Federal Advanced Encryption Standard (AES))

(I heard him talk about a year and a half ago)

Re:Michael Moore

[Anonymous Coward]

I agree. I'm concerned with the same things that Michael Moore is, but he's doing more of a disservice by lying through his teeth. I suppose the same people that think Moore's stuff is insightful are the same people that think Bill O'Reilly is insightful - they just have different political stripes. Half the stuff Michael Moore says about Canadians is patently false or a broad stereotype. True, I feel a lot safer up here than Americans probably feel in their country. But for crying out loud, I still lock my house's door and so does everyone else I know up here - contrary to what he may have concluded from a rigged experiment in his past movie.
