傳奇密碼學大師專訪：別輕信物聯網
在訪問被CNN譽為「全球最頂尖的密碼學家」布魯斯．施奈爾（Bruce Schneier）之前，我們很容易開始聯想各種神秘形象。畢竟，密碼這個關鍵字，總出現在情報、特務與駭客電影中，連電影《不可能的任務：鬼影行動》扯到核彈交易案時，也會有密碼學家的戲分。Audio: Collective Intelligence Podcast, Bruce Schneier on Public-Interest Tech
Given the measure by which technology invades every aspect of our lives, the need to have technologists involved in crucial public-interest conversations is growing exponentially.
But that isn’t happening today at any kind of significant scale, and leaders such as Bruce Schneier are trying to change that.
Schneier, a cryptography pioneer, fellow, and lecturer at Harvard’s Kennedy Business School, has taken up the cause of public-interest technology and is trying to bring awareness to the current state of affairs, and how not only security professionals but technologists in all fields can make a difference.

Q&A: Crypto-Guru Bruce Schneier on Teaching Tech to Lawmakers, Plus Privacy Failures—and a Call to Techies to Act
Politicians are, by and large, clueless about technology, and it's going to be up to engineers and other techies to rectify that, even if it means turning down big pay packets for a while.
This was the message computer security guru Bruce Schneier gave at last week's RSA Conference in San Francisco, during a keynote address, and it appeared to strike a chord with listeners. Schneier pointed out that, for lawyers, doing pro bono work was expected and a route to career success. The same could be true for the technology industry, he opined.

The Security Book Everyone in Government Must Read in 2019
If we're ever going to get security right, technologists must embrace the need for policy and government leaders must do the same with technology, which is why Bruce Schneier's Click Here to Kill Everybody: Security and Survival in a Hyper-connected World is the 2019 must-read book for every government leader, elected and administrative.
Specific security prescriptions range from standards and principles to the creation of a new federal agency, a National Cyber Office, that would advise and hold other agencies accountable, but also manage government-wide security efforts, such as the NIST Cybersecurity Framework.
Click Here to Kill Everybody is accessible to anyone who wants to learn about the problems and potential solutions of our increasingly Internet connected world, without feeling overwhelmed by the nuances and technological details that leave most people paralyzed with confusion.
Key excerpts:
"The admittedly clickbait title of this book refers to the still-science-fictional scenarios of a world so interconnected, with computers and networks so deeply embedded in our most important technical infrastructures, that someone could potentially destroy civilization with a few moue clicks.
