In this interview we check in with a bit of a legend, Whitfield Diffie. He's universally credited as one of the creators of public key infrastructure, and he was the opening keynote speaker at the AusCERT conference.

I grabbed Whit for an interview in the hotel lobby bar and started off by asking him if he's disappointed that PKI hasn't been universally adopted yet.
