In this keynote, Professor Herbert Bos charted his own journey through the security culture (and, let’s face it, sub-culture) of the first few decades of the Internet. It was a thoughtful reminder that ‘security research’ takes many forms, and academia doesn’t have a monopoly on either the expertise or the relevance of that research. Although academics, commercial security specialists, and hackers may have very different motives and reward structures, we ignore the findings of their work at our peril.
