Quiet EnjoymentAbout the book
Quiet Enjoyment
Spam, malware, botnets, predation and fraud aren’t facts of online life. Quiet Enjoyment argues that they can be dealt with, but not by deploying technology the way we always have.
Wes Kussmaul proposes designing and managing online spaces the way we manage physical real estate, with public key infrastructure (PKI) as the building material.
This edition is written for entrepreneurs. It adds material on PKI, authentication and identity management, including a chapter that answers the ten classic PKI difficulties raised by Schneier and Ellison.
“No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thinking.”
