Yep, that's me. Sorry I didn't respond earlier, but I'm just catching up with my mail. In addition to moderating one panel, and speaking at another, I spent a lot of time working with the AV and other stuff at h2k. Did anyone else from the list attend? There was a lot of great press coverage of h2k. Newsday ran a big piece on Sunday that (accurately!) explained the DVD trial and other issues. AP & NPR, but I didn't see CNN/ABC/CBS/NBC. Lots of freelance writers, so we'll be seeing articles in places like Computerworld & Boardwatch in the future. h2k was not a major forum for crypto, but there were plenty of sessions that addressed different types of weaknesses in system security. Also a strong emphasis on threats to privacy, with the full range of suggested solutions we see on the cypherpunks lists (from draconian laws, to complete transparency, to strong personal crypto). -- Greg > Date: Sat, 15 Jul 2000 15:38:06 -0400 > From: "Benjamin M.
