Most of Thomas's time currently is working with the Secure Trusted Operating System Consortium coordinating projects, administrative operations, and coordinated and planned the content for the Mac OS X & BSD Security Symposium. Thomas also manages the behind the scenes operations of the STOS consortium (http://www.stosdarwin.org/) On the side Thomas is a contributing writer for OSXFAQ. What is STOS? The [STOS] Consortium represents the formal coordination of Federal, Academia and Industry into an environment of open collaboration to enhance the security of open source operating systems. The Consortium plays the role of leader and coordinator between parties involved in requesting, researching and developing security enhancements and secure system services. Examples of STOS projects in the past are integrating cdsa into mod_ssl therefore allowing better integration into Darwin, and the use of smart cards to store server certificates. Another project that is not yet complete, is the effort by STOS to integrate CDSA into OpenSSH. This will allow things like ssh keys to be integrated into the Mac OS X keychain. These projects were directly funded by people attending the STOS Mac OS X & BSD Security Symposium in August of 2002. This is an example of how individuals were able to invest in themselves as well as there infrastructures. Portions of the proceeds from this class go to fund STOS research efforts. The curriculum for this class was also developed by STOS, and is endorsed by the consortium. So you can be sure that curriculum is both cutting edge and very relevant to you and your organizations needs.
