Bruce Schneier has a blog
I try to read everything Internet security consultant Bruce Schneier writes. The good news is, he now has a blog where he'll probably make links to his essays.He has two recent essays available from his blog, which he describes thusly:
The first talks about terror threat warnings -- both the color-coded kind and the more specific ones -- and how they're both an ineffective security countermeasure and a political tool. It appeared in a magazine called "The Rake."Link - Mark Frauenfelder [Boing Boing]The second (published today in the "International Herald Tribune") discusses RFID chips in future passports, and how that endangers the security of people who carry them. The Department of Homeland Security is pushing them for both American citizens and foreigners, and the only possible reason I can think of is that they want surreptitious access to identity information.
