Here are just two of the topics which will be discussed:
Bruce Schneier, Author of "Applied Cryptography". TOPIC: Will speak on
issues surrounding cryptography, digital authentication, digital cash.
EFF. TOPIC: Will cover current legal threats, privacy and computer
information networks.
I believe last year's key speak was Mr. Phil Zimmerman. There are currently
22 speakers registered for this year's convention.
:) See ya in Vegas.
