At Usenix Security, Eric Rescorla pointed out that some of the
cryptographic flaws we have seen can be prevented by applying good
"crypto hygiene." My questions for the floor --
* What is "good hygiene" ?
* Where would I find it written down?
* How do we develop good hygiene?
Have we developed hygiene in the past that protects
against as-yet-undiscovered attacks?
thanks,
