Don't Trust E-Voting? Too Bad
Don't Trust E-Voting? Too Bad
09/15/2004 03:01 PMOver in Maryland, where studies have shown that the e-voting machines
are not secure, the courts have decided that if you don't trust the
e-voting machines, that's your own damn problem. They
will
not allow people to ask for a paper ballot if they feel
uncomfortable using one of those electronic voting machines. The
court also found that the state had "done everything necessary" to
show the e-voting machines were accurate and secure. Apparently, they
have pretty low standards.

03/19/2003 10:45 PMUsing Memory Errors to Attack a Virtual Machine
We present an experimental study showing that soft
memory errors can lead to serious security vulnerabilities
in Java and .NET virtual machines, or in any system that
relies on type-checking of untrusted programs as a protection
mechanism. Our attack works by sending to the JVM
a Java program that is designed so that almost any memory
error in its address space will allow it to take control
of the JVM. -- Sudhakar Govindavajhala, Andrew W. Appel
I've heard that it was possible to hack smartcards and similar devices
before by tampering with them, but I've never understood how it was
done until now. Apparently some security experts claim to have been
aware of this technique for many years.

05/05/2004 08:12 AMOffshoring: Companies guarding 'secret sauce':
Interesting situation: U.S. companies are willing to send grunt IT
work overseas, but not the intellectual property they worked so hard
to develop. It seems that they don't trust overseas companies to keep
their intellectual property safe.
Therein lies the dilemma for many technology executives confronting
the issue of offshore outsourcing: U.S. companies are increasingly
turning to other countries to reduce labor costs, but they must decide
how far they can go without risking security breaches, communication
lapses or operational breakdowns, when moving work thousands of miles
away overseas.
I still agree with how this guy handled the "offshore problem." He
figued out how much he would save by sending work offshore, then added
back how much it was worth to him to have someone on-site. He then
advertised a position at this (much less than market) rate. He was
deluged with applications.

Dave Winer today points to Scott Rosenberg's excellent take on
Google's new library venture. Scott concludes:
The public has a big interest in making sure that no one business has
a chokehold on the flow of human knowledge. As long as Google's
amazing project puts more knowledge in more hands and heads, who could
object? But in this area, taking the long view is not just smart --
it's ethically essential. So as details of Google's project emerge, it
will be important not just to rely on Google's assurances but to keep
an eye out for public guarantees of access, freedom of expression and
limits to censorship. [Scott
Rosenberg]
I agree. That's one of the reasons, by the way, that the evolving
relationship between electronic texts and physical books fascinates me
so deeply. For the generation now coming of age, Google defines a sort
of continental shelf. Whatever is on that shelf is considered
accessible. Whatever isn't fades into the murky unfathomable depths.
But when we can beam the halogen light into those depths and search
them, we'll be reminded that -- whatever online access can or cannot
be offered now, and however long it takes to make complex and
sensitive adjustments to the copyright system -- the physical books
exist, and are available for our use.

05/17/2004 04:16 AMJohnny Carson's first national TV gig was as host (from 1957 to 1962)
of a game show called "Who Do You Trust?" It was patterned after the
earlier Groucho Marx show called "You Bet Your Life." I was reminded
of this show during a lively e-mail discussion with a number of
readers of my Identity Management newsletter about various identity
federation schemes that required your identity data to be stored with
third parties.
Using WS-Trust and WS-SecureConversation
Using WS-Trust and WS-SecureConversation
06/10/2004 07:25 PMWS-Security provides a framework for securing SOAP messages based on
XML Encryption, XML Signature and the notion of security tokens. XML
Encryption is used to provide confidentiality protection for portions
of a SOAP envelope while XML Signature is used to provide integrity
protection for the same. Security tokens typically provide some notion
of identity along with information pertaining to keys used to perform
cryptographic operations. Multiple security tokens can be used in a
message allowing different portions of the SOAP envelope to be secured
for different intermediaries. Examples of security tokens include X509
certificates, Kerberos tickets and Username tokens. While WS-Security
specifies mechanisms for placing security tokens in SOAP messages and
referring to those tokens from encrypted or signed data it does not
define how security tokens are actually acquired; that job can either
be programmatic, or performed by calling a token issuing service as
specified by WS-Trust.

Google nears the day when it
sells stock to the public, a fundamental question arises: How can the
company possibly justify the rich price it hopes to get in the
marketplace?
However brilliant Google's technology may be -- and it's both
innovative and path-breaking in many ways -- the online search and
advertising company doesn't have a monopoly. And it faces plenty of
competition from small and large businesses that have their own share
of smart people.
There's only one way the fast-growing search and media powerhouse
can pull this off, and a single word sums it up: trust.

05/27/2004 12:13 AMOn a Mission: The New Internet Mission
"According to Nielsen, there are 31 million moms online. They're
38, tend to be married, are very smart -- college educated -- and are
working moms. Moms forever have been key decision makers. What's
interesting is how that translates to the Internet.
You have to be where they are online. In 2004, moms told us that
they're spending more time online than watching television.... We did
a lot of focus groups with moms. It's one of those time-saving
devices. It simplifies their life, and that's what they're looking for
when they turn to the Internet....
We arrived at four distinct segments: the Tech Nester, Mrs. Net
Skeptic, the Yes Mom, and Passive Under Pressure. We got rid of that
last segment because she's passive and a newbie, but we still ended up
with 77% of Internet moms....
When we started really digging into the segments, we found that
their similarities are more interesting than their differences. They
were all after the same basic things. They want to simplify their
lives. All trust the Internet. The Internet is where they turn to
first. You don't have to have separate strategies to address each
segment....
They all want information. They think the Internet is the most
useful medium for accessing information. And as a source of
entertainment, it came in number two. As it did for spending time with
their kids. They've come to rely on the Internet. 84% said they would
miss the Internet the most if it went away. It's the same with kids
and teens." [Fast Company
Now, via Lost
Remote]
Although this article and the study are aimed more at marketers,
it's interesting to read the results in the context of libraries. The
need to do research, the desire for making life simpler, and the
misguided trust of all things internet... how are libraries fitting
into these womens' lives? Are they? There are whole trust circles
online where libraries are nowhere to be found. How do we get
there?
