He is an active participant in the standardization of network security protocols and practices through organizations such as the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and the TLS Working Group. He was recently named to the board of directors of the new VPN Consortium. Thayer frequently lectures and writes articles for publications such as Data Communications, and has contributed pieces on IPsec's (Internet Protocol Security) roadmap and Open PGP (Pretty Good Privacy). He has helped network technology vendors FTP Software, Data General, Microsoft and several high-tech startups develop new security products. Additionally, Thayer has helped large end-user organizations including the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Union Carbide, as well as international financial institutions, manufacturing, and applications software organizations develop and deploy IP security in large networks. As consulting engineer, Carasik will participate on network security related projects including IPsec Internet security packages.
