Forgot to relate the tidbit that motivated me to update the group:
The "Covert Channels" reading, which is a very specialized example of
Steganography (by my measure) has some very clever ideas in it which I'd
never encountered before... all kind of obvious once described but
nevertheless quite clever.
- Steve
I don't know if anyone (else) is doing the reading for this course....
I lagged a bit but am just now catching up... the first 5 readings
were history/law and *very* timely and relevant to the current
situation with the NSA, etc.
The following are more technical:
Secure Email
Tor (secure - obfuscated?) Routing
Network Traffic Analysis
Steganography
Covert Channels
Chat (off the record)
.....
I've done my time working with or studying all of these at a fairly
limited level and found each of the resources offered to be very well
chosen... a good review for me and a good introduction for anyone
with modest technical knowledge. They are also "bite sized"... I
find the reading assignment for each week requiring less than an hour,
though one can use these as a point of departure that could consume a
whole week!
I'm glad to hear that our best and brightest are being taught these
things.
- Steve
I'm in. A number of journos are interested in/worried about this.

Cody -
I think you just started one (by asking).
I suggest a Google Group for discussion and following the class
schedule even if we don't have the benefit of lecture and class
discussions.
3 or more is a good number... if Owen's alerting us indicates
interest, we already have a Quorum!?
- Steve
that seems like a very cool reading list. Are you thinking of
starting up a reading group?

Sounds fascinating .. and not all tech, lots of history and
spy craft.
