On the 11th episode of The Silver Bullet Security Podcast, Gary talks with Dorothy Denning, a professor in the Department of Defense Analysis at the Naval Postgraduate School. Previously, Dorothy was a distinguished professor at Georgetown University and a professor at Purdue University. Gary and Dorothy discuss Dorothy’s involvement in the Clipper Chip controversy (which earned Dorothy the moniker “clipper chick”), the concept of geo-encryption, and a famous 1990 paper she wrote describing a series of interviews with malicious hackers.
