This month's meeting:

  Will be on January 24th, from 3-5 PM, in Baker Systems 120 (usual
  4th wednesday, usual time, usual place).

  Our speaker this month is Matt Curtin.  He'll be talking about
  privacy on the web: 

    This is a talk-in-progress that discusses key privacy issues as
    they relate specifically to the Internet and the World Wide Web.
    Privacy ramifications of various pieces of the architectural
    puzzle are considered along with several actual examples of
    privacy problems that arose from failing to account for the nature
    of the system.  The philosophy of privacy-by-policy is compared
    with privacy-by-technology.  Both approaches are considered in the
    context of secure systems design principles.  Finally, the speaker
    concludes with consideration of the issue of the use of "opt-opt"
    systems to protect privacy online.

  More about Matt:

    Matt Curtin is the "Original Hacker" at Interhack Corporation,
    which provides Internet security and privacy products and
    services (www.interhack.net).

    He is an active member of a varying number of IETF working groups
    and communities related to firewalls, cryptography, and open
    operating systems. During the summer of 1997, he helped lead the
    team that defeated DES, the US Government standard for data
    encryption. He doesn't sleep much and after listening to him talk
    about how little security there is, you probably won't sleep much
    either.

About these meetings:

  The Network Security Group meetings are usually held on the fourth
  Wednesday of each month from 3-5 PM on the Ohio State University
  main campus in Columbus (usually in Baker Systems 120).  The goal of
  our meetings is to share information about computer security tools,
  practices and problems.  Anyone and everyone are invited to attend.

  We also have mailing lists for people who are interested in
  discussing network security issues, or who just want announcements
  about meetings and security bulletins.  Send mail to
  romig@net.ohio-state.edu for more information.

  Note that this is *not* the same as the bi-weekly security lunch at
  Battelle (the AEGIS group), though you are welcome to attend
  either.  For more information about AEGIS, please contact me.

  See http://www.net.ohio-state.edu/security for information about the
  services that we provide, future meetings, resources, contact
  information, directions, mailing lists, free money (just kidding!)
  and so on...
