The development of electronic commerce and other applications on the Internet is held up by concerns about security. Cryptography—the science of codes and ciphers—will be a significant part of the solution, but one of the hardest problems is enabling users to find out which cryptographic key belongs to whom.  The main things that can go wrong with cryptography are similar to those that can go wrong with a signature stamp. A stamp can be stolen or counterfeit; or it may not belong to the person one thought it did. The first two risks can be controlled largely by technical measures. The third risk is the hard one, and the one that this book helps to solve.  Many people who use cryptographic services on the Internet have had their keys certified by one or more of about a thousand important keys. The pioneers of cryptography hoped that these keys would in turn be certified by the United Nations or by each other, or listed in the phone book. For a variety of political and competitive reasons, this has not happened. The result is chaos, and the situation is bound to get worse as both companies and governments try to stake out claims in cyberspace.  The primary aim of this book is to cut through the chaos by publishing the thousand or so important keys in paper form, as a kind of global phone book. The secondary aim is political: By printing these keys on paper, we can use established legal protections to limit government interference.

Mormons, or members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, form a growing population in both numbers and influence. Yet few people have more than a passing knowledge of the document that defines and drives this important movement—the Book of Mormon. A former Mormon and an adult convert to Christianity, author Ross Anderson provides a clear summary of the Book of Mormon including its history, teachings, and unique features. Stories from the author and other ex-Mormons illustrate the use of Mormon scripture in the Latter-day Saint church. Anderson gives special attention to how the Book of Mormon relates to Christian beliefs about God, Jesus, and the Bible. With discussion questions to facilitate group use and a focus on providing an accurate portrayal of Mormons beliefs, Understanding the Book of Mormon is an indispensable guide for anyone wishing to become more familiar with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and its most formative scripture.

In Understanding Your Mormon Neighbor, Ross Anderson seeks to help Christians relate to Latter-day Saints by giving insights into Mormon life and culture.Anderson’s work is supported both by his lifetime of experiences growing up Mormon and by current research that utilizes many Latter-day Saints’ own sources. This book explains the core stories that form the Mormon worldview, shares the experiences that shape the community identity of Mormonism, and shows how Mormons understand truth. Anderson shares how most Mormons see themselves and others around them, illuminating why people join the LDS Church and why many eventually leave. Latter-day Saints will find the descriptions of their values, practices, and experiences both credible and familiar.Understanding Your Mormon Neighbor suggests how Christians can befriend Latter-day Saints with confidence and sensitivity and share the grace of God wisely within their relationships.Anderson includes discussion questions for individuals and small groups, black and white photographs and charts, and an appendix that includes “Are Mormons Christians?” and “Should I Vote for a Mormon?”

The first quick reference guide to the do's and don'ts of creating high quality security systems. Ross Anderson, widely recognized as one of the world's foremost authorities on security engineering, presents a comprehensive design tutorial that covers a wide range of applications. Designed for today's programmers who need to build systems that withstand malice as well as error (but have no time to go do a PhD in security), this book illustrates basic concepts through many real-world system design successes and failures. Topics range from firewalls, through phone phreaking and copyright protection, to frauds against e-businesses. Anderson's book shows how to use a wide range of tools, from cryptology through smartcards to applied psychology. As everything from burglar alarms through heart monitors to bus ticket dispensers starts talking IP, the techniques taught in this book will become vital to everyone who wants to build systems that are secure, dependable and manageable.

MANY PEOPLE WANT TO HEAR THE TRUTH BUT ONLY THE TRUTH THEY WANT TO HEAR. Some of our "long-held" or "closely-held beliefs," particularly about ourselves and about what we can and can't do, can and can't think or research and can or can't change are the most debilitating to us. Many people PREFER A KNOWN EVIL TO AN UNKNOWN JOY and are fearful of any change in the status-quo. An alcoholic or abusive mate may be terrible to live with but, at least, it is a known quantity. If a person takes a risk and exits the relationship, they may then find someone who is abusive and alcoholic "who will play the game their way" and recreate another "known evil" rather than explore a true "unknown joy." Such is the debilitating adherence to "known evils" or all kinds. Many people "try" to change their lives, in any way, for a month or two, but drift back to the comfortable, debilitating, destructive job, relationship, BELIEF ABOUT THEMSELVES and all else. Many people prefer known evils to unknown joys. There is an uncomfortable truth which is that "HURT PEOPLE HURT PEOPLE." Commiserating with others and repeating the accumulated stories about "how it wasn't your fault" and "what he did and said" et al, leave no way to exit the precise condition which poisons your life. And, HURT PEOPLE HURT PEOPLE. If you are so centered on your weakness, powerlessness and inabilities to create your own life as you want it, then this "hurt" you feel becomes your center, negating the truth that it is you yourself who must heal yourself. Otherwise your HURT will emanate from you and can only HURT others, not assist them along their path to joy and fulfillment. If you surround yourself with other "hurt" people and rehash your enhanced victim stories with each other, where is the only possible place you are "going to?" You are going to where you are coming from and will continue to live in this sea of poison. How can you possibly experience happiness and a new, fresh life, a whole new creation, if surrounded by these people? They must heal themselves. Are you going to sacrifice your life just to preserve a debilitating relationship with someone who cannot better your own human experience? This is the only life you have. It is not a dress rehearsal. There is no other time than right now to make an absolute personal commitment to leave the past behind and to CREATE A NEW REALITY FOR YOURSELF. You can create this new reality, your new life, by understanding the nature of commitments. There are no small or large commitments, there are only commitments. You either do what you say you'll do or you don't. There is nothing else. If a person says that they are going to find more rewarding work today, if that is a true personal commitment, then THAT DECISION IS ALREADY MADE AND NEED NEVER BE ADDRESSED AGAIN. It is a done deal, a fait accompli, finis and final. Anything else is not a commitment; it may be a wish or a hope but IT IS NOT A FINAL DECISION. If a person is addicted to gambling and realizes that it is consuming and destroying their life it will do them no good if they "promise themselves or others" that they won't gamble again. THE ONLY THING THAT COUNTS IS RESULTS, PERIOD. Wishes, hopes, what we worked so hard for and devoted so much time and effort to, prayed for, dreamed about and all else counts for nothing. The only thing which counts is results. So, understanding this, the real instigator of change is TO ACTUALLY MAKE A DECISION, ONE TIME, A PERSONAL COMMITMENT, FINIS, A FAIT ACCOMPLI.....A DECISION. Once a decision is made it need never be made again. If a person makes a real commitment to cease gambling, that commitment never needs to be made again. It is done and done. So, how does a personal know if they've made this real decision and commitment. They will get and stay away from gambling and people who gamble. Don't even think of it. Run away! No contact, reborn. Resurrected into a new life. This is FINAL FREEDOM.

The campaign combined heroic human endeavor and terrible suffering set in some of the most difficult terrain in the world. The troops had to cope with extremes that ranged from arid deserts to tropical jungles to formidable mountains and almost always on inadequate rations.

World War I began in East Africa in July, 1914, and did not end until November 13, 1918. In its scale and impact, it was the largest conflict yet to take place on African soil. Four empires and their subject peoples were engaged in a conflict that ranged from modern Kenya in the north to Mozambique in the south.

The First World War began in East Africa in July 1914 and did not end until November 13, 1918. In its scale and impact, it was the largest conflict yet to take place on African soil. Four empires and their subject peoples were engaged in a conflict that ranged from modern Kenya in the north to Mozambique in the south, leaving hunger and devastation in its trail. Yet the East African campaign has languished in undeserved obscurity over the years, with many people only vaguely aware of its course of events. Africans bore the brunt of the fighting and few escaped the impact of the war.

The Battle of Tanga, sometimes also known as the Battle of the Bees, was the unsuccessful attack by the British Indian Expeditionary Force "B" under Major General A.E. Aitken to capture German East Africa (the mainland portion of present-day Tanzania) during the First World War in concert with the invasion Force "C" near Longido on the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro. It was the first major event of the war in Eastern Africa and saw the British defeated by a significantly smaller force of German Askaris and colonial volunteers under Lieutenant Colonel Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck.
