Susan Landau’s new book and Huffington Post blog

Wednesday, February 23rd, 2011

Susan Landau, with whom I’ve had the pleasure of working and co-authoring some documents (e.g.: a, b, c), has new book that’s now available: Surveillance or Security? The Risks Posed by New Wiretapping Technologies.

Additionally, NPR ran an All Things Considered piece yesterday on the wiretapping topic and interviewed Susan for it.

Also, she’s blogging (here) at the the Huffington Post on these and overall security/policy topics.

Report on security risks of applying CALEA to VoIP

Wednesday, June 14th, 2006

A report on the security risks of applying CALEA to VoIP is available on the ITAA.org website. To quote the site:

A new ITAA study by Internet gurus Vint Cerf, Whit Diffie and other experts warns that extending CALEA wiretap measures to Voice over Internet Protocol communications could stall innovation and introduce major security problems.

One of the report’s authors, Susan Landau, announced the report via this message to Dave Farber’s Interesting-People mailing list.
