the-10-000-download-mark

the-keychain-issue

I think awareness of the 'key chain' issue is increasing, which makes me happy. First, there was a post on ask.slashdot about carrying around multiple tokens and today, there was a post on the PingIdentity blog entitled Overcoming Keychain Issues with Strong Auth. He lists four possible solutions to the problem:
1. Centralized Token Service - Local authentication for username/password and a centralized service for token validation.

I have been reading about how IE7 will be more secure than previous versions. My thoughts: too little too late.

the-express-scripts-bounty

Now this could be interesting. Express Scripts is offering $1,000,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the attacker trying to blackmail them. That is a lot of Ameros.

the-externalities-of-dns-configuration

According to a recent study by DNS appliance maker Infoblox, over 50% of the Internet's domain name servers allow recursive name services - requiring a name server to relay requests to other name servers. If an attacker "poisons" the list of name servers, users are directed to a fake site, even if they manually enter the correct web-address.
