We have 2 topics for this months:

Topic: Good Password Verification

Abstract: A customer's perspective on password verification. Just because the cloud claims your data is encrypted and password protected doesn't mean it really is.

Companies should publicly disclose their password encryption schemes to encourage auditing and customer trust.

The discussion will cover why password verification should be quick to human perception, but take effort from the computer's perspective. It will also cover better encryption for SSH private keys as a specific case.

Bio: der.hans is the Chairman of PLUG ( Phoenix Linux User Group ) and

founder of the Free Software Stammtisch. He is a repeat speaker for SCaLE and for many tech groups and conferences in the Phoenix area and has been published in the Linux Journal. He also gets paid as a DBA for Limelight Networks and moonlights as an adjunct instructor at Mesa Community College.

 

Topic: Dealing With PDFs

Abstract: Editing PDFs with various programs.  What are their limitations, and how to get around them.  What program to use for you intended purpose.

Bio: Brian Cluff is on the steering committee for the Phoenix Linux Uses Group.  He has been been working with Linux since 1995 when we have asked to help setup and ISP with 2 of his friends.  Over the past year he has been giving a monthly presentation at PLUG on various multimedia applications.  He is currently doing contract work when it sounds like fun.
