Fabulous Adventures In Security Series
Eric Lippert has started a series of posts called "You want Salt with that?" where he plans to talk about securing things using essentially private inventions vs. publicly understood methods. I really suggest following this along for a couple of reasons: First, Eric is a good writer who knows his stuff. I think we can count on him to keep this somewhat complex topic understandable. Second, its important to understand these concepts when gearing up for the new data securing facilites of SQL Server 2005.
