PRESENTATION: Former NSA technical director Brian Snow...

This presentation is by the former Director of Information Assurance for America's National Security Agency, Brian Snow. He joined the NSA in 1971 after founding the computer science department at Ohio University in the 60s. He spent his first 20 years at the NSA directing research and development into cryptographic and secure systems. He also created and managed NSA's secure systems design division in the 80s.

In this presentation, Snow argues commercial software lacks quality, reliability and safety -- in other words, we can do better.
