He is an expert in trusted computing and is rumored to be writing a book on the subject.
Seth previously worked for Linuxcare, where he developed the Linuxcare Bootable Business Card. After he left Linuxcare, he forked the project to create the LNX-BBC rescue system, of which he is a lead developer. Before that, Seth attended UC Berkeley where he founded Californians for Academic Freedom to protest the loyalty oath the state made university employees swear. Seth never completed his degree.
Seth has recently admitted that he is the author of the DeCSS haiku; the haiku was submitted through an anonymous remailer.
Seth is also a fan of ancient literature (including epic poetry), philosophy, and rare books. His father, Ken Schoen, is the proprietor of Schoen Books, an out-of-print book store.
