The Desert Breeze Substation is on Chandler Blvd and Desert Breeze
+Blvd, which is half way between McClintock and Rural.  It is very close
to both the south 202 and 101 freeways.  Public transportation is
available into the late hours.

To get to the room that we meet, just enter the door that faces Desert
Breeze and make your first left, you can't miss it, as it's the only
place to go.

There is also a planning meeting that will start at 6pm, an hour before 
the meeting.  If you have some ideas on how to improve plug, please show 
up, we would love to hear them.

We have 2 topics for this months:

Topic: Good Password Verification

Abstract: A customer's perspective on password verification. Just 
because the cloud claims your data is encrypted and password protected 
doesn't mean it really is.

Companies should publicly disclose their password encryption schemes to
encourage auditing and customer trust.

The discussion will cover why password verification should be quick to 
human perception, but take effort from the computer's perspective. It 
will also cover better encryption for SSH private keys as a specific case.

Topic: Dealing With PDFs

Abstract: Editing PDFs with various programs.  What are their 
limitations, and how to get around them.  What program to use for you 
intended purpose.
