-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 For the record, I like the WEIS a lot, mostly because making money on exploits is my job. And I understand it's really hard to get good papers in the area. I just also find it amusing to read some of the really bad ones. Often it seems like the bad ones bite off bigger concepts than they can chew, and have to make up really out there models to compensate. - -dave dan () geer org wrote:
