Beginner Question : Please help
Hi all,
Iam a fresher and I hold a Masters in Software Engineering. Iam very interested in crptography and security and have written some security algorithms. Iam workig as a Flash Programmer with a big MNC in India Iam planning to switch domain to security after some time. Can someone suggest me what is the job profile of a security person , the pay scale and what are the big names in the industry which would take freshers like me to work on security algorithms , mainly R&D. Some mail id's would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
PN: I would like this question to remain open for sometime so that I get the ideas of more experts.
Thanks,
KP

Most companies I know that are looking for cryptographers are Government related.
Try the following sites:
www.USAjobs.gov.
You can also try: www.clearancejobs.com
Once you sign up there, you can see a list of many other government contractors,
and then go to their sites to register/submit a resume.
Good luck

A master in software engineering is not sufficient to start writing cryptographic algorithms.
I can't say how deep you are into mathematics from your post, but cryptographers are usually
mathematicians that can program and not programmers that can do math.
That doesn't mean you can't become a cryptographer, I just say that so you can think about it
yourself, you will know best where you are standing in the large scheme of things. :P
Maybe you should leave out that Flash programmer thing in your resume though. :P
Other than that, there are lots of jobs in the security world and I am sure you will find something...
