I'm Writing a Book on Security
- spchampion2 11y agoI sort of wish he'd write a new edition of Applied Cryptography. I learned so much from that book in the 90s, but so much has changed since then.
- muricula 11y agoI completely agree! How could we encourage him to update the book?
- petejansson 11y agoWhile not a direct successor, there's this: https://www.schneier.com/books/cryptography_engineering/ https://www.schneier.com/books/cryptography_engineering/
- Panino 11y agoSchneier isn't involved in cryptography enough today to be able to write the kind of crypto book people would expect. For example he knows very little about ECC, and stream ciphers aren't really on his radar either. Also he said on his blog that he'll probably never write another crypto book. What do you wish to know? Whatever it is, there are already high quality sources of information out there right now. If you say what you're interested in people can point out good guides.
- nxzero 11y agoDo you know any resource that provides hypercondense explanations of workflows that use crypto?
- ape4 11y agoIf he's not the person, somebody else should do an update.
- r0fls 11y agoDaniel J. Bernstein would probably be a good candidate. Then again it looks like he has written a couple books already (disclaimer: no referral). http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&page=1&rh=n%3A283155%2Cp_27%3ADaniel%20J.%20Bernstein http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&page=1&rh=n%3A283155%2Cp_27%...

- xiphias 11y agoThis problem is quite similar to the GAI problem: the more automation we have, the greater damage an attack can have. The question is whether there is any way to limit the biggest attacks that can happen? I don't think, but I wish there would be a solution.
- CapitalistCartr 11y agoWhat is the GAI problem?
- aeosynth 11y agogai = general artificial intelligence the gai problem = superhuman ai negatively affecting humanity
- nxzero 11y agoIt's AGI, not GAI: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_general_intelligence https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_general_intellige... "AGI Problem" is bs, humanity is more of a threat to AI than AI will ever be to man.

- sammydavis 11y agoThat webpage won't load. did the ai war already start?
- jasonwelk 11y agoI think there is a whole new category of books on modern computing that is relatively empty and those with a knack for explaining important but challenging concepts should really go after the projects. Multi-core programming, security, and many other topics need good Dummy 101-style books for non-dummy professional developers who may not have had to do a lot of it before.
- adeel4 11y agoIs Schneier still a practioner enough to do this? After all his VC-funded companies and being on boards, etc. he seems more like a guy at 10K feet than some researcher who's deep in the weeds and knows the nuances.
