Hi Everyone,How are you doing? How's your reading going? Did you create a challenge this month, and see that you have made progress on it?
For me, I am absolutely thrilled that I finished The Count of Monte Cristo. I don't know why it took me so long to get to this book. I am already looking forward to a re-read.
This month has been super slow reading-wise for me, but I'll try to get some reading done after I finish my thesis :))
I'm impressed Yasmine, that you are able to read anything for pleasure. May I ask what your thesis topic is?
Yes sadly not enough for my taste still :P But it's a good way to recover from the very dry papers I need to read ^^My thesis title is secure & privacy-preserving two-factor authentication on a programmable security key, and basically I implemented a novel protocol on a hardware device for secure authentication (so instead of using a password you would use that device and it doesn't share your personal biometric data with any servers) :))
Back in the day, I was a UNIX System Administrator. I implemented Secure ID for our authentication.
Very cool! Authentication is a topic I've gained a lot of interest in in the last year, hence the thesis choice :)
Hi Everyone,I have opened the thread for the 24 hour read-a-thon this coming Saturdays, as well as all of the read-a-thons for September.
I update the notifications for the read-a-thons here:
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
I will be updating the announcements on Thursdays for the upcoming read-a-thons going forward, in lieu of sending out messages.
Hi everyone,Friday begins the September Month Long Read-a-thon, I hope to see you there!
