Subject: ANNOUNCE: two new security-related BluePrints

I'm pleased to announce the publication of two new security-related
BluePrints in this months BluePrint OnLine issue.

First off - Joel Weise shares his Public Key Infrastructure experience
by authoring an article titled Public Key Infrastructure Overview. This
article removes some of the mystique, fear and misconceptions with
Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), by providing an overview of what it is,
how it works, why and when it should be used, and the benefits it can
provide. After reading this article individuals should be better able to
determine their requirements for a PKI and what features they need for
their particular business. The article is available from:

Secondly - David Deeths and Glenn Brunette teamed up to put together a
three part series on Network Time Protocol (NTP). This month the second
in this series was published and explains the basics of client and
server administration, covering various client/server configurations, as
well as authentication and access control mechanisms. This article also
provides suggestions for an effective NTP architecture. This article is
available at:
