In over 30 years in thefield, he has been a technical contributor, technical manager, and an executivewith several high-technology firms. He has designed and implemented both TCP/IP-basedand OSI-based protocol suites on a variety of computers and operating systems,ranging from microcomputers to mainframes. As a consultant, he has advisedgovernment agencies, computer and software vendors, and major users on thedesign, selection, and use of networking software and products.

He created andmaintains the Computer Science Student Resource Site [...]. This site provides documents and links on a varietyof subjects of general interest to computer science students (andprofessionals). He is a member of the editorial board of Cryptologia, ascholarly journal devoted to all aspects of cryptology.

Dr. Stallings holds aPhD from MIT in computer science and a BS from Notre Dame in electricalengineering.
