I think it&amp;#x27;s awesome that he&amp;#x27;s going to be on the board of the EFF.&lt;p&gt;Receiving an EFF Pioneer Award in 2007, his introduction alone describes why he is a perfect candidate. The audio for the speech is, thankfully, available in the Internet archive[1]. The introduction given by one of the EFF technologists is a wonderful description of how important Bruce Schneier&amp;#x27;s contributions to technology and security really are, outside of his incredible cryptographic skills.&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Skilled in his exposition of ideas about security.&amp;quot;&lt;p&gt;Bruce&amp;#x27;s ability to explain, in clear terms, what is or isn&amp;#x27;t wrong about particular systems is amazing. Whenever there&amp;#x27;s some sort of technological thing going on in the world, security related, Bruce&amp;#x27;s blog[2] is often one of the first place I go to.&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Made people aware of the context in which security happens. The context in which security measures exist … the political context, the economic context, the psychological context, the social context in which security really happens or often doesn&amp;#x27;t happen.&amp;quot;&lt;p&gt;This is an incredibly valuable and necessary outlook on security in this day and age. The world needs more people who are aware of security, not as just some thing that you do, but really as a mindset and thing that you really have to wrap your head around.&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Worked really hard to demystify security. To help people think clearly about what really works and doesn&amp;#x27;t work.&amp;quot;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Emphasis and insistence that security is not an objective thing but is relative to the observer. That it&amp;#x27;s always from someone&amp;#x27;s perspective.&amp;quot;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;You don&amp;#x27;t just have security as this thing that&amp;#x27;s out there, but security has a kind of political dimension, that you need to have a prior notion of what kinds of actions are appropriate and what kinds of actions are warranted.&amp;quot;&lt;p&gt;I couldn&amp;#x27;t think of a more appropriate and equipped individual to help the EFF at this time in our history.&lt;p&gt;[1] - &lt;a href=&quot;http://archive.org/details/Bruce_Schneier_EFF_Pioneer_Awards_2007&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;archive.org&amp;#x2F;details&amp;#x2F;Bruce_Schneier_EFF_Pioneer_Awards...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;[2] - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.schneier.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.schneier.com&lt;/a&gt;</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Bruce Schneier joins EFF Board of Directors</title><url>https://eff.org/r.b8Wf</url></story>
