[sudo-discuss] [omni-discuss] physical security working group?

[Stan Osborne]

Patrick,

This messages is between you and myself, for the moment.

I say we have all the resources at OMNI for building industrial security
capable of earning Yar's trust.

The following is cut from a friend and collaborator's CV.

   5.10 Seguridad de la Información:
        RENIEC – Seminario Internacional;  Seguridad de la Información
        Expositor : Msc. Stan Osborne
        Swissotel, San Isidro, Lima, PERU
        Enero 24, 25 y 26 2001

I try hard to avoid bragging, until it might be useful.  RENIEC is an
acronym for a government agency in Peru.   Any adult Peruvian with a
National ID card knows what it stands for.

Let's start collecting requirements for OMNI internal secure storage, 
both physical and digital.

By all means, it is to early to trust claims contained here-i.

Today I'm short on time, but will have more time Sunday evening and hope
to stop by then.

Stan
