Guess I should do the same!  I'm a long-time information technology and
policy analyst type; I did my doctoral work on IT within the then-Soviet
Bloc (to 1988) followed by six years at the CIA and Intelligence Community
Management Staff back before it was "hip" to think of computers as relevant
to national security (other than Reagan-era export controls on
high-performance systems), including work with the White House Information
Infrastructure Task Force, leaving USG in 1994.

I've been a speaker/organizer of the Computers, Freedom & Privacy
conference for 4 of the last 6 yars, and am one of the legion of folks that
think it'd be a nice thing when we get past the log-rolling on the
availability of commercial strong encryption, though I'm rather catholic on
the various issues of privacy, surveillance, etc.

I'm currently an adjunct professor at Georgetown University, and the
DC-based VP government relations for Sandstorm Enterprises
(http://www.sandstorm.net), a Cambridge, MA company marketing computer
security audit tools, including PhoneSweep, a telephone scanner (i.e., "war
dialer").
