We hope to build a comprehensive database of published papers available on the net, organized both by author and by year. Users can view the bibliography by author (every author is indexed, not just the first author) or by publication year. There will also be a single page containing all the citations, to facilitate searching the full bibliography (by keyword, for example) with your browser's search function. Counterpane wants this database to be a research tool for the community, and for it to be continuously updated. We will frequently monitor the WWW for new articles for our database. Researchers can also submit articles for inclusion in the database using an on-line form; see the webpage for details. Please help. If you have papers on the Web, please submit them into our database. If you know of any archives of papers that I missed, please let me know. If there are any features you’d like to see, please suggest them. Future enhancements include grouping of papers by subject, the inclusion of searchable paper summaries, and the ability to comment on research papers. We hope to also broaden the scope of the database to computer security in general. Please take a moment to try out the Counterpane Cryptography Article Database, and let us know what you think. Thank you, Bruce Schneier ********************************************************************** Bruce Schneier, President, Counterpane Systems Phone: 612-823-1098 101 E Minnehaha Parkway, Minneapolis, MN 55419 Fax: 612-823-1590 Free crypto newsletter.
