Quantum Information
and Computation (QUIC): QUIC is a collaboration of 5 groups
at 3 universities, undertaking experimental, theoretical, and
modelling investigations into quantum computing
The Quantum
Computing Rresearch Project of Stanford-Berkeley-MIT-IBM.
This site contians information on NMR (Nuclear Magnetic
Resonance) Quantum Computer and Quantum Algortihm. It also has a
nice archive of technical papers on Quantum Computing , Quantum
Information Theory and Quantum Cryptography.
The
Physics of Quantum Information is a proposed European network
within the TMR program of the European Commission. This site
contains also some links to tutorials and introductions on
quantum cryptography, quantum cryptoanalysis, quantum
computation, quantum communication and other research groups. It
has a link to International Workshop on the Physics of Quantum
Information which takes place in Helsinki, Finland, September
24-26, 1998.

Listed in alphabetical order. A very well structured collection is the
International Cryptography
Pages compiled by Tatu Ylönen. Ron Rivest maintains a very
comprehensive collection on pointers realated to cryptography,
and the IBM ERS maintains a very comprehensive collection on pointers realated
to security
in general. John Young maintains a list of news related
to security.

Menegay's Security page This site contains explicit information about
how to break into Unix systems. It also details how to stop these methods.
A valuable service. Knowing this information is out there helps administrators.
Unix Security This section
of the Advanced Laboratory Workstation Project contains a lot of information
on security, including access to governmental bulletins.
Firewall: Home of
firewall mailing list. Contains an extensive list of documentation and
other useful information about firewalls.
DDN Security Bulletins FTP Server:
This is the NIC's security ftp server. Skip all the files starting with
ddn-security- until you get down to ddn-security-8901. All the previous
ones will just tell you that the naming conventions have changed, and you're
looking at the wrong file.
Dartmouth Security Tools
Matt Bishop's cool collection of papers and programs related to security,
including passwd+.
Purdue COAST Project
Computer Operations, Audit and Security Tools. A great ftp site collecting
many things pertinant to security. at also has a FTP
Archive
MIT Athena FTP Server
From MIT, the Athena Project has more to offer than X. Among other things,
you'll find kerberos software here, as well as a great collection of USENIX
papers, and other tasty tidbits.
Texas AMU security tools
Texas A&M, in response to being broken into, has developed a lot of
expertise in detecting and preventing breakins. Here you'll find papers
and tools.
