Elliptic Curve Cryptography
RSA is the de-facto cryptographic algorithm for digital signatures and for encryption of symetric keys. Although RSA is highly secure and widely used, there are some potential problems with its use. This paper describes an alternative technology, based on mathematical objects known as elliptic curves, which can in some instances provide significant benefits over the use of RSA.

A systems integrator's view of implementing a secure system
Experience shows that neither Government nor Industry have a good track record of implementing a "Secure System". This paper analyses why this happens and what can be done to improve the situation. The analysis covers project tracking, bidding and tendering for the contract, implementing the project, evaluating and accrediting and support.

Data and computer security
This paper considers
some of the basic cryptographic techniques used to provide security on
a computer network. Although there are many aspects of data and computer
security including, for instance, permissioning schemes and physical
controls, the paper concentrates on the cryptographic applications.
