I’ve got nothing but love and respect for Whitfield Diffie, and I’ve known the name for ages (after all, you don’t invent public key encryption and NOT become famous in geek circles)!

There’s a short interview with him in the latest ComputerWorld, and now, I gotta say, I have even more respect for the guy.

He’s a fellow at Sun, full-on genius, and pulls off the Colonel’s beard with a good ol’ Willie haircut.

Ya gotta respect that!
