Conference Proceedings Section:
I'm not out to collect a bunch of conference proceedings. But as I acquire them, and if they're available for purchase online (i.e. have an ISBN), I'll briefly mention them here. Though I have done so everywhere else, I'm not necessarily going to figure out prerequisite mathematics, books, and computer languages across any or all of the presentations in a given conference proceedings publication.
(If it’s here, I have it. If it’s reviewed, I have, at a minimum, read all of the crypto-relevant parts.)

Noteworthy presentations involving noteworthy people include:
* Lessons Learned in Implementing and Deploying Crypto Software -- Peter Gutmann
* Making Mix Nets Robust for Electronic Voting by Randomized Partial Checking -- Ronald L. Rivest

Computer Security: A Global Challenge
Finch, James H. (Editor) / Dougall, E. Grahm (Editor). 1984 (Currently out of print). 580 pages.
Categories: Conference Proceedings |
This book and its review here are a waste of your reading time. That being said, I really enjoyed reading what was important to computer security practitioners back in 1984. The predictions of the presenters mostly fall into two categories: 1) Those that never came true (i.e. the wonders of Bell-LaPadula) and 2) those that have still not come true (widely deployed RSA-enabled smart cards for personal banking are just around the corner)
Equally entertaining is
* Martin Hellman’s (of Diffie-Hellman fame) presentation against nuclear war (it promised to show its implications to computer security and encryption, but never quite did)
* Fred Cohan’s views on viruses
* That a 10^4 keyspace can be exhausted in as little as an hour and 23 minutes.
* That every presenter had their own weird proprietary taxonomy for how their corner of the security world should be organized.
