[plug] Idea for a Talk

Hi all,

I was reading an article by Bruce Perens on Linux Weekly News where he
suggests that the software we use could possibly be compromised by an
author (or patch submitter) including a trojan horse into the code.  As
part of the solution he suggests educating people on the use of public
key encryption in LUGs.  For the full article see:

Perhaps this might be a good suggestion to follow up on and someone with
the appropriate expertise could give a talk on it at an upcoming
meeting?

Regards,

Christian.
