Acknowledgments
This book is all the better for its reviewers, including Seth Arnold, Theo de Raadt,
Erik Fichtner, Bob Fleck, Simson Garfinkel, Russ Housley, Mike Howard, Douglas
Kilpatrick, Tadayoshi Kohno, John Regehr, Ray Schneider, Alan Schwartz, Fred
Tarabay, Rodney Thayer, David Wagner, Scott Walters, and Robert Zigweid. In
addition, we would like to single out Tom O’Connor for his Herculean efforts in
review and detailed comments.
Zakk Girouard did a lot of background work for us on material in Chapters 1, 2, 3,
and 8, and wrote some text for us. We’re very grateful, and, dude, we’re sorry we
didn’t make it to your winter solstice party; we tried!
We’d also like to thank the wonderful staff at O’Reilly, particularly our editor,
Debby Russell. They were all extraordinarily accommodating, and it was a pleasure
working with them. In fact, this project was originally O’Reilly’s idea. Sue Miller, our
first editor at O’Reilly, initially suggested a Cryptography Cookbook that we were
happy to do, and it evolved from there. Thanks for tapping us to write it. Thanks as
well to Jon Orwant, who helped in the initial stages of the project.
Many thanks to Gene Spafford for contributing a wonderful foreword to this book
and for his many contributions to the field.
Matt Mackall lent us his expertise, helping us to write Recipe 11.19 and providing
good feedback on the rest of Chapter 11.
Chapter 12 was written “on the clock,” by Secure Software staff, thanks to a contract
from the Air Force Research Labs. Martin Stytz and Dawn Ross were responsible
for the contract on the Air Force side, and they were a pleasure to work with. Eric
Fedel, Zachary Girouard, and Paolo Soto were part of the technical work on this
effort, and Kaye Kirsch provided (fantastic) administrative support.
Thanks to everyone at Secure Software for supporting this book, including Admiral
Guy Curtis, Kaye Kirsch, and Peter Thimmesch. In addition, we’d like to thank Bill
Coleman for being an all-around cool guy, even though he 12:10’d much of our caffeine
supply and our stash of late-night snacks.
Finally, we’d like to thank Strong Bad for teaching us how to type up a book while
wearing boxing gloves.
