Risky Business #264 -- Three Guys With Ponytails Talk About Security

PLUS: How your iPad kicks your mainframe's ass...
23 Nov 2012 » Risky Business

On this week's show I'll being playing an excerpt from a panel discussion that took place at Kiwicon -- the session was called Three Guys with Ponytails Talk Security. The three guys are PGP Corporation co-founder Jon Callas, nCipher co-founder Nicko van Someren and the University of Auckland's Peter Gutmann.

The topics include quantum computing and Peter's oddly overkill print server.

This week's show is brought to you by Adobe! Adobe's head of product security and privacy Brad Arkin joins the show in this week's sponsor segment to talk about what he's calling "phantom 0day".
