Topic: Trust, Security, and Society:  Human society runs on trust with Bruce Schneier

We all trust millions of people, organizations, and systems every day -- and we do it so easily that we barely notice.  But in any system of trust, there is an alternative, parasitic, strategy that involves abusing that trust.  Making sure those defectors don't destroy the cooperative systems they're abusing is an age-old problem, one that we've solved through morals and ethics, laws, and all sort of security technologies.  Understanding how these all work -- and fail -- is essential to understanding the problems we face in today's increasingly technological and interconnected world.

About Bruce Schneier:

Bruce Schneier is an internationally renowned security technologist, called a "security guru" by The Economist  He is the author of 12 books -- including his latest best-seller Liars and Outliers: Enabling the Trust Society Needs to Survive -- as well as hundreds of articles and essays, and many more academic papers.  His influential newsletter "Crypto-Gram," and his blog "Schneier on Security," are read by over 250,000 people.  He has testified before Congress, is a frequent guest on television and radio, served on several government technical committees, and is regularly quoted in the press.  Schneier is the Chief Security Technology Officer of BT.
