WiKID-releases-new-open-source-version-2-1.1

This will probably be the last 2.x release. It is pretty stable. We are now looking at some pretty big changes, though mostly they will be architectural changes not functional changes. Many, like support for Tomcat 5.x, will be very welcome. Others will be less noticeable - changes to the build system for example.

I certainly agree with many parts of the recent essay and the interview on Computer World by Bruce Schneier, but I think it misses on a few key points and borders on pandering for press.

I have written another how-to for howtoforge. This one is titled Secure your SSH deployment with WiKID two-factor authentication

corporate-spying-on-other-board-members-at-hp

Hat Tip to Valley Wag for pointing out this must read Newsweek article "Intrigue in High Places" about how the chairwoman of HP's board spied on other directors, including gaining access to the call logs of their personal cell and residential phone lines by "pretexting". (The investigators pretended to be the board members to the phone companies to get access.) The targeted board member who was the source of leaks to CNet is still on the board, but Tom Perkins of Kleiner Perkins fame resigned in protest.

A great analogy: strong authentication is like Penicillin for your network security
