Network and Computer Security

The September 15th issue of Bruce Schneier’s Crypto-Gram newsletter is out. As usual, it’s a very good read. This issue is very much targetted to security in general and not only computer security. In particular terrorist threats and the current paranoia in the airports are very well described, as well as how counter-productive it is.
