BruceSchneier is founder and CTO of Counterpane, an Internet security firm:
http://www.counterpane.com
Author of
AppliedCryptography,
SecretsAndLies, and
BeyondFear. He's a frequent critic of poor security practices. It may appear that his primary focus of criticism is
MicrosoftSecurity, but they
are the largest target around. To be fair, he has given them due credit for their good security practices, too.
He has a blog:

And publishes a free monthly newsletter:

- did he said anything about recent (2004+) progress in WebServicesSecurity? For example, will he still consider SOAP a security risk if it is used within the WS-Security context? DeleteWhenCooked
