Steve BellovinI gave a retirement/farewell talk today. Video at https://www.cs.columbia.edu/~smb/talks/farewell.mp4; slides at https://www.cs.columbia.edu/~smb/talks/farewell.pdf.
Matt Blaze@SteveBellovin Congratulations on a career that's as interesting as it has been important!
Chris Petrilli@SteveBellovin Congratulations, and thank you again for everything you've done for so many people over the years.
Adam Shostack 
@SteveBellovin Thank you for all you’ve done for the field, and for me.
I remember leaning from you on cypherpunks and firewalls lists, from your books, and later in my career from our collaborations. I selfishly hope those will continue and regardless, wish you a happy and long retirement!
Jack Daniel (often offline)@SteveBellovin Congratulations! And thank you for everything you've done.
Now, just do not take retirement advice from @noplasticshower

THIS ACCOUNT HAS MOVED@jack_daniel @SteveBellovin funny, I said the same thing over at the other identity
Gary McGraw@SteveBellovin man I hope you are better at retirement than I am Steve! Welcome to the club.
@cigitalgem As I said, I have a lot of writing I plan to do…
@SteveBellovin sounds shockingly similar...
Marsh Ray@SteveBellovin Congratulations!
Regardless of what you choose to do next,
you are forever a founding legend of data security.

This account has moved@SteveBellovin Congratulations, and I'm looking forward to seeing (even) moar bird pics. (And to reading even more law journal articles!)
Dan McDonaldCongratulations! I'm glad you'll not go entirely to the camera or rocking-chair, but you've certainly earned the right to!
Now who do I talk to about retiring your number? 🤣
kat 🌻@SteveBellovin Congrats, Steve!
Das@SteveBellovin Congratulations and thanks for sharing!
Bill Woodcock@SteveBellovin

Grant@SteveBellovin congrats on a stellar career, all the best.
Bill Ricker@SteveBellovin
Congratulations!
Congratulations!
(I should take this occasion to thank you (again?) For the Frank Miller paper.)
@BRicker Thanks! One thing I realized I forgot to mention in my talk: the importance of chance, but also how chance favors the prepared mind. The Miller paper falls into that category.
@SteveBellovin

Dan Wing@SteveBellovin Congratulations, Steve! And thanks for your firewall book.
Wendy Nather@SteveBellovin Congratulations and well done. Enjoy your deserved rest and recreation.
John Kristoff@SteveBellovin Enjoyed watching your talk. If you don't mind fielding another question.
Are there other academic disciplines, besides law, that you think would be worth developing a pairing with the field of CS?
Jeffrey Vagle@SteveBellovin Congratulations, Steve!
@SteveBellovin Steve, I'm reading your slides, and I'm thinking you need to write a memoir!
@jvagle I am writing one, but it's a personal one for my family, not for the public—I doubt that anyone is interested in my childhood beyond what I shared today. I mean, does anyone here care that there was at least one house on block with a coal furnace, in the 1950s? The slides do have a link to an interview in ;login: a few years ago; very soon, there will also be an oral history interview with me available.
@SteveBellovin Your slides are a near-exact image of my interests and what brought me to switch from math grad studies to a JD. Only you were *inventing* the technologies I was interested in!
@SteveBellovin I'm reminded of a time in the mid-90s, when I was just out of the USMC and returning to school. I was hanging out in Jeff Schiller's lab at MIT where he described RSA (recall the sqeamish ossifrage?) and this new thing called PGP, and I was hooked.
@jvagle And now I'm learning from you!
Tom Lyon ✅@SteveBellovin Congrats!

Congratulations, Steve! Wishing you a fun and fulfilling next chapter after an amazing career.
Gord@SteveBellovin Wishing you the greatest joy in your retirement Prof. Bellovin. To say you and your papers are legendary is an understatement. Thank you for all your work.
china@SteveBellovin thank you prof! Your class was the most fun I had in my senior year ✌️
David Andersen@SteveBellovin "dealing with grants was even worse than I had thought" -- hear hear.
Congratulations on your retirement and I hope the next things are just as fun! Your work was quite influential on younger me, and I'm better off for having a dose of computer security in my life and career.
Aaron Massey@SteveBellovin Congratulations! Thank you so much for this talk and for your many, many contributions to computing and technology policy.
peter honeymanCongrats, Steve, on a brilliant and distinguished career. I will always be proud that my Bellovin number is 1!
cynicalsecurity 
@peterhoneyman @SteveBellovin mine is sadly 2 but via dmr which perhaps is a better 2?
@peterhoneyman @SteveBellovin it is sad that a team like yours at Bell Labs was never really replicated.
It feels, for someone whose high school dream was to work at either Bell Labs or Xerox PARC, a bit like the Apollo astronauts and space exploration.
Now, why I thought that hacking was the way to get into Bell Labs I am unable to answer…
@SteveBellovin Congratulations from a young Berferd you converted decades ago.
Chris Samuel@SteveBellovin Happy retirement sir! Thanks for posting the video.
Also "You must be this tall to storm the castle" has always made me laugh. Thank you.
@chris_bloke So there’s a story behind that cover (https://www.wilyhacker.com/1e/cover.jpg). Our editor had sent us several possible cover pictures, none of which we liked. As a joke, he sent us a newspaper clipping—but we didn’t know it was a joke and enthusiastically agreed to it. He said, “Oh,” and negotiated for the rights to it.
@SteveBellovin oh that's fantastic! A case of "be careful what you ask for" - but it very definitely suited the book!
Kensan@SteveBellovin Congratulations on an impactful career! Looking forward to your future writings. Thank you for the body of work you have created for us younger folk to learn from.
Stefano Zanero@SteveBellovin congratulations, you have been an inspiration and I learned much from your work. To reflect on the impact you had on our field is humbling, I think, for any (relatively) younger academic!
Joseph Lorenzo Hall, PhD@SteveBellovin I am up in CT due to a sudden but peaceful death in our family and I'm excited to watch this between more mortal coil concerns. Thanks for sharing and I can't put words to what your work has meant to me.

@SteveBellovin Congrats, sir! May you enjoy your retirement and never grow bored. (unless you want to, of course)
