[Sussex] Perspective: Decrypting the secret to strong security

[Steve Dobson]

All

For those of you who don't check out /. every once in a while there
is a link to a nice little article by Whitfield Diffie, who (to 
quote from /.) "has probably has forgotten more about crypto than 99.9%
of us will ever know".

He explains, in a non-technical article, why secrecy does not equal
security, and also include why open source is better than proprietary
software for security software.
