Security Expert Bruce Schneier Says to Foil NSA Spies, Encrypt Everything

In the world of cybersecurity, Bruce Schneier is an unusually accessible voice for those of us who feel we don’t quite understand what’s going on. The author of 12 books, and a prolific blogger and speaker, Schneier helped the Guardian go through the top-secret documents from the U.S. National Security Agency leaked by Edward Snowden last year.

So he knows what he’s talking about when discussing the import of Snowden’s revelations, which he did Wednesday at the Real World Cryptography Workshop, held in the gothic Great Hall at City University of New York in upper Manhattan.
