Renowned 'Mathemagician' Arthur Benjamin to Present Systems Management for
Encryption Show; Venafi Issues Pre-Conference Challenge to Attendees,
Offers Free Passes
SANDY, Utah, March 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Venafi, the inventor of systems
management for encryption software, has hired world-renowned
"mathemagician" Arthur Benjamin, called "America's Best Math Whiz" by
Reader's Digest, to entertain show-goers while explaining the Venafi
methodology in its booth at RSA Conference 2008, April 7-11 at the Moscone
Center in San Francisco. Venafi (booth #2345) has issued a pre-show
challenge to attendees, narrated by Benjamin, at
http://www.venafi.com/prestoflash/index.html. Venafi is also offering free
"exhibits-only" passes for the conference.
"Security is all about encryption and encryption is all about
mathematics, so it just made sense to bring a guy who counts 'racing
calculators' among his hobbies to help share our unique story with RSA
attendees," said Jeff Allen, vice president of marketing, Venafi. "Just as
Art employs complex mathematical systems to perform feats of mental math,
Venafi automates the complex processes our customers perform to implement
and maintain encryption."
As part of his presentation, Benjamin -- a professor of mathematics and
a magician -- will demonstrate and explain his secrets for performing rapid
mental calculations faster than a calculator, including squaring 5-digit
numbers, and calculating the day of the week of anyone's birthday. He has
presented his high-energy talk more than 1000 times to audiences throughout
the world and has appeared on many television and radio programs, including
The Today Show, CNN, Amazing Discoveries! and National Public Radio. He has
been profiled in The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, USA Today,
Scientific American, Discover Magazine, Omni Magazine, Esquire Magazine,
People Magazine, and Reader's Digest.
Visitors to the Venafi booth can also get a copy of a limited edition
book that reveals the secrets behind Benjamin's show entitled, "The Magic
of Systems Management for Encryption, A Pocket Guide to the Systems Behind
the Systems Management for Encryption Show." Audience members in his hourly
show will also be able to win great prizes.
Pre-Show Challenge: Are You a Novice or Expert Mathematician?
Before the show, attendees who complete a Flash-based arithmetic
challenge will receive a certificate they can exchange for a gift they can
pick up at the Venafi booth. (The gift is a closely-guarded secret, but
Venafi says it is possible to get Art to reveal it in the pre-show Flash if
you know where to look.) Be sure to make at least one arithmetic error
during the Expert challenge for a little higher entertainment value.
