From svlug at tgeller.com Thu May 3 15:53:36 2001 From: svlug at tgeller.com (Tom Geller) Date: Sat Apr 2 14:56:22 2005 Subject: [web-team] Upcoming SVLUG speakers through November 2001 Message-ID: Thanks to Winston for noodging me to get info about upcoming speakers to the Web team. Here's the goods on all the upcoming talks. (I actually sent something similar a few weeks ago, but it was to "web-team", not "webteam". Duh. I wonder where it went?) ---begin--- 6 June: Jon Callas from Counterpane Abstract: The Effect of Anti-Circumvention Provisions on Security Counterpane Director of Software Engineering Jon Callas explores security design, copyright, and shows how the two can be reconciled. One of the properties of digital Intellectual Property (IP) is that it can be easily reproduced, modified, and transferred. In response, IP owners have created creating new security technologies for controlling the digital works. Inevitably, this creates an opportunity for those who can circumvent those technologies. Recent changes in copyright law attempt to address this on-going battle by prohibiting circumvention of these technologies. Unfortunately, this well-meaning provision has a number of unfortunate effects on development of security systems, including techniques that protect intellectual property itself. Bio: Jon Callas is a premier figure in the world of Internet security. He produced RFC 2440 (the IETF standard for OpenPGP), created the architecture for a unified PGP and X509 certificates, and has worked to get PGP software available worldwide. His current passion is the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and its effects on security, testifying before the U.S. Congress in 1998. He is now Director of Software Engineering at Counterpane, a Managed Security Monitoring company; prior to that, he was one of the kernel developers for the VMS operating system at DEC, founder of meeting-software company World Benders, CTO at Network Associates, and Senior Scientist at Apple Computer (where he was known as the company's "Security Czar"). He still runs Linux on the 486 box he bought for the 1.0 release. ----- 4 July: No meeting ----- 1 August: Mark C. Langston, Chief Technical Officer Taos - The SysAdmin Co. Abstract: From the advent of the first digital computer, systems administration has meant coaxing software and hardware to efficiently perform a given set of tasks. Over the years, the equipment, operating systems, and applications have grown more complex. To effectively manage today's demands, an SA must consider and control not only the hardware and software one normally thinks of when using the word 'systems', but the people and environment in which these systems function. This talk will detail the ways in which these components are also systems to be administered, and will outline the factors that must be considered to encompass this broader definition of systems administration. Bio: Mark C. Langston is the Chief Technical Officer of Taos - The SysAdmin Company, headquartered in Santa Clara, CA. He has been administering Unix systems of various flavors and the networks that connect them for approximately 10 years. He is a member of the SAGE Certification Policy committee and the Linux Professional Institute's Advisory Council. He holds a master's degree in experimental cognitive psychology from the University of Chicago. ----- 5 September: Still deciding (several candidates have been invited) ----- 3 October: Still deciding (several candidates have been invited) ----- 7 November: The Evolution of Public Key Cryptography Martin E. Hellman Professor Emeritus of Electrical Engineering Stanford University Abstract: In our 1976 paper, "New Directions in Cryptography," that introduced public key cryptography Whit Diffie and I wrote: ?We stand today on the brink of a revolution in cryptography.? As with most revolutions, there was also an evolutionary process that culminated in the revolution. That evolutionary process is easier to see in hindsight, and will be the subject of this talk. The talk also gives credit to some of the individuals whose work is often overlooked, but whose contributions were clearer to those of us working in the early days of the field. Biography (needs shortening): Martin E. Hellman was a researcher at IBM's Watson Research Center from 1968-69 and an Assistant Professor at MIT from 1969-71. He returned to Stanford in 1971, where he served on the regular faculty until becoming Professor Emeritus in 1996. Prof. Hellman is best known for his invention, with Diffie and Merkle, of public key cryptography. Prof. Hellman has also been a long-time contributor to the computer privacy debate, starting with DES' key size in 1975 and culminating with service (1994-96) on the National Research Council?s Committee to Study National Cryptographic Policy, many of whose recommendations have since been implemented. Prof. Hellman also has a deep interest in the ethics of technological development. With Prof. Anatoly Gromyko of Moscow, he co-edited Breakthrough: Emerging New Thinking, a book published simultaneously in Russian and English in 1988 during the rapid change in Soviet-American relations. He also worked to develop an environment within the university within which students of diverse backgrounds can function to the best of their ability. His work in this last area has been recognized by four teaching awards, including three from minority student organizations. Prof. Hellman has been involved with a number of high-tech startups over the last twenty-five years, serving as a founder, advisor, and investor. In his spare time, he enjoys people, soaring, and hiking. He and his wife of 33 years, Dorothie, reside on the Stanford campus. ----- December 2001 and on: Still deciding (several candidates have been invited) ---end--- -- Tom Geller * San Francisco * tgeller.com bandwidthpr.com, openppc.org, suespammers.org, popcomputers.com Speaker Coordinator, Silicon Valley Linux Users Group (svlug.org) From Whatever at nodomain.com Thu May 3 16:35:34 2001 From: Whatever at nodomain.com (I don't know) Date: Sat Apr 2 14:56:22 2005 Subject: [web-team] Upcoming SVLUG speakers through November 2001 In-Reply-To: Message-ID: <5.0.2.1.2.20010503163145.00a62588@mail.telocity.com> Tom, Thanks for the info..

And I know a few people who will enjoy the new stop, too. Yeah, anyone who was walking from Baypointe will definitely like this. I suppose there may be others who will take the light rail now that it stops closer. I'd be among them if I didn't work just across the street.

The firewall tunnel consists of two parts: a frontend piece running on the proxy machine outside the firewall and a backend piece running on the server inside the firewall. Backend first establishes connection to frontend. And later on when user outside firewall issues requests to the frontend they will be transparently tunnelled to the backend.
