Hi!
1. I am going to move in Chicago in the end of this year and I am
looking for a job there.
Brief information: Belarussian State University (mathamatics dep.),
Ph.D. in mathematics (algebra, arithmetic geometry) in 1995, during
some period was interested in algebraic methods in the image
processing, now dealing with mathematical (algebraic and partially
statistical) methods in data security (cryptography), programming
experience in Visual C++ 5.0 (C++, MFC, DB, ActiveX by MFC). I
am ready to sent my CV, list of my papers, and any other detailed
information needed.
I am also looking for colleagues everywhere!
2. By the way, in some info-russ letters the problem of e-mail
privacy was discussed. I would like to write some words on that
topic. There is always a great risk that your envelope can be opened
before its arrival. And there is the unique way to keep the privacy:
encrypt the letter before sending. It is especially important, if
your letter contains your bank account number, credit card number and
so on. The same situation takes place in case of e-mail. The
cheapest, simplest, and most reliable way is to apply some
cryptosystem (with either public or private key). Good cryptosystems
are totally practically unbreakable. You can use coding programs
built in your Internet browser, in your e-mail program or separate
encrypting-decrypting programs (for example, PGP). Attention: the
export of crypto programs is strictly forbidden by the american law.
But everyone can get such programs by Internet on the European
servers without any restrictions. Some nice helpful books on that
topic:
- "Personal Computer Security" by Ed Tiley (for users),
- "Internet Security Secrets" by John R. Vacca (both for users and
specialists),
- "Handbook of Applied Cryptography" by Alfred Menezes and others
(for specialists).
Best regards,
Genady.
