Whit Diffie is the new VP of info-security and cryptography at ICANN! Kewl!

Very neat news today out of ICANN.  Whit Diffie is this monster figure in the crypto world -- he's one of the founding folks in that circle.  He worked at Sun for ages and now he's joining ICANN.

Click HERE to watch him on an episode of Cranky Geeks (with John Dvorak) to get a feel for what's he's like in person.

I'm really glad to hear that he's joining the ICANN gang.  It'll give us some depth that we badly need in this area.

    I was really privileged to meet Whit (and Mikey as well) hanging around on street corners and in alleyways in Beenhouwerstraat and the vicinity. (Hint: there was an ICANN meeting in Brussels this week and that's where Delerium and some cool eating places are situate.).

    Couldn't agree more!
