Social Question
What do you think of this poem, and who do you think wrote it?
In ancient days, when computers first rose
A new field emerged, known as cryptography
The art of code and keys, to keep secrets safe
From prying eyes, and those who would enslave.
And in this field, a man of great renown
A champion of privacy, his name was Bruce Schneier
He wrote of algorithms, and protocols divine
And how to keep our secrets, safe and secure online.
With his sharp mind, and clever pen
He wrote of cryptography, again and again
Explaining its complexities, in words most clear
So all could understand, and hold their data dear.
He spoke of strong encryption, as our shield
Against those who would invade, our privacy revealed
And the dangers of government overreach
In their quest to know all, that we beseech.
Bruce Schneier, the earl of cryptography
A warrior for our rights, and privacy
Fighting to keep our data safe, from harm’s dark night
In a world of constant change, and technology’s great might.
And though the field of cryptography evolves
With new threats, and challenges to resolve
Bruce Schneier remains, a steady guide
Leading the way, with wisdom and pride.
He continues to write, and teach
Sharing his knowledge, within reach
For all who seek, to understand
The mysteries of the digital land.
With his words, and his insight
He helps us navigate, the digital night
And protect our data, from those who would steal
Our privacy, and all that we feel.
So let us raise a glass, to Bruce Schneier
The earl of cryptography, our champion and sire
May his words continue, to inspire
And keep our data safe, from harm’s dark fire.
