An Interview with Ben Laurie

I had heard of Ben Laurie before, as he is the co-author of several papers I’ve read, plus open source software that millions of people use: Apache- SSL. And while I was at USENIX Security, Ben’s name came up while I was talking about Bitcoin. I had asked Ben to write in the past, but things never quite worked out, so it seemed natural that I try an interview instead, which did allow me to ask Ben about some things that I was curious about.
