Links

The internet has numerous sources for materials about the ID-card and encryption, making it somewhat difficult and time consuming to study them. Here we keep links to materials that might interest the readers of our web site in our opinion. It is not our objective to praise the absolute truth; we just consider these materials worth reading. To make things clearer, we have added a short description to each link.

If you find that the list should include something that is not yet here, just send your suggestion to webmaster@id.ee.

Bruce Schneier, “Fixing Network Security by Hacking Business Climate”

http://www.counterpane.com/presentation4.pdf

Security professional Bruce Schneider always loves to emphasise that network security is not merely a technological problem, but a matter that relates to people and processes instead. And that the security situation improves only with creation ofeffective responsibility and assurance mechanisms. This is his presentation from the ISSE 2002 conference.

Peter Gutmann, “Everything you Never Wanted to Know about PKI but were Forced to Find Out”

http://www.govis.org.nz/insecurity/p-gutmann.pdf

A rigorous but ironic presentation from the Insecurity seminar, concentrating on shortcomings of the public key infrastructure. The contents share the tone of the headline. What ever should we conclude from the thought “Certs from vendors like Deutsche Telekom/Telesec are so broken they would create a matter/antimatter reaction if placed in the same room as an X.509 spec” :-)

Andrus Padar, “Estonian Cyber Police – who is it for”

http://www.stallion.ee/seminar/kyberpolitseist%20Eestis.ppt

A presentation from the Stallion seminar. Provides a straightforward and short overview of the situation and philosophy of the Estonian Cyber Police. It becomes evident that although the Estonian Police is sometimes considered inefficient in this field, the situation is actually quite acceptable and an IT criminal is very likely to get caught in Estonia.

“Economics, Psychology, and Sociology of Security”

http://www.dtc.umn.edu/~odlyzko/doc/econ.psych.security.pdf

“The Case Against Micropayments” http://www.dtc.umn.edu/~odlyzko/doc/case.against.micropayments.pdf

“The Unsolvable Privacy Problem and its Implications for Security Technologies”

http://www.dtc.umn.edu/~odlyzko/doc/privacy.unsolvable.pdf

Three cases about the relations of security and social concepts.
