On Monday, January 20th at 18:30, Haifux will gather to hear a talk by Orr Dunkelman:
When Cryptography is not the Answer (even when it is) Abstract Since modern cryptography has emerged in the mid 70's, it developed a huge set of solutions to many of the security problems: from secure algorithms for communication, to identification of entities, from integrity assurance for programs, to methods for evaluating a function without revealing it. Despite these advances, even the security challenges that were solved by cryptography are still affecting our everyday life: from using old and insecure algorithms, through key management issues, to problems in the interaction between the cryptography and the system where it resides. In this talk we shall consider several examples of such issues, of the gaps between "what is already solved by cryptographers" and "what the security professionals see as unsolved (if not unsolvable)". We will try to isolate the sources for such problems, and look for the changes, both in the technical level and in the perception level, needed from both sides of the security equation (cryptographers and security professionals), to overcome these issues in the future. ================================================================= We meet in Taub building, room 6. For instructions see: http://www.haifux.org/where.html Attendance is free, and you are all invited! ================================================================== Future lectures: There is nothing scheduled. Do YOU have a lecture to suggest? ================================================================== We are always interested in hearing your talks and ideas. If you wish to give a talk, hold a discussion, or just plan some event haifux might be interested in, please contact us at webmas...@haifux.org -- Web: http://www.billauer.co.il _______________________________________________ Haifux mailing list Haifux@haifux.org http://haifux.org/mailman/listinfo/haifux
