Editing Bruce Schneier (section)

==Career==
In 1991, Schneier was laid off from his job and started writing for computer magazines. Later he decided to write a book on applied cryptography "since [[Books on cryptography|no such book]] existed". He took his articles, wrote a proposal to [[Wiley (publisher)|John Wiley]] and they bought the proposal.<ref name=":1">{{Cite news|date=2020-09-07|title=On starting a career - Special exclusive interview with Bruce Schneier at NoNameCon 2020|work=NoNameCon live conference|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vn7wL12qjY0&feature=youtu.be&t=226&ab_channel=NoNameCon}}</ref>

In 1994, Schneier published ''Applied Cryptography'', which details the design, use, and implementation of cryptographic algorithms.

{{quote|This book allowed me to write more, to start consulting, to start my companies, and really launched me as an expert in this field, and it really was because no one else has written this book. I wanted to read it so I had to write it. And it happened in a really lucky time when everything started to explode on the Internet.<ref name=":1" />}}

In 1999, Schneier was a founder and [[Chief technology officer]] of Counterpane Internet Security (now [[BT Managed Security Solutions]]).
