Vint Cerf Wants Standardized Email
Authentication 06/17/2004 08:53 PM
If you hadn't received the message yet (perhaps because it was lost in all that spam), email sender authentication is coming. The only problem is that too many companies are implementing it in too many different ways. Now, even Vint Cerf, who apparently believes public floggings of spammers are the best possible solution (he was probably joking, but I'm sure many would support this sort of punishment), is saying that everyone needs to get together on a single email authentication standard. Of course, there still is some concern that switching to authenticated email will break certain internet applications. However, it's pretty clear that much of our basic email is now broken anyway. As long as people are aware that changes will need to be made, authenticated email sounds like a step in the right direction.

Open Source 802.1X Authentication

Open Source 802.1X Authentication 04/14/2004 03:46 PM
Matthew Gast has filed a series of four articles on using 802.1X with open-source projects to create PEAP authenticated networks: Matthew is one of the best writers on the subject of enterprise authentication, and author of 802.11 Wireless Networks: The Definitive Guide. His four articles at O'Reilly Network walk through his efforts to make the open-source xsupplicant 802.1X client create a successful PEAP (Protected EAP) tunnel and authentication with dynamic WEP keys. His efforts helped patch an incompatibility between xsupplicant and Microsoft's IAS server, making xsupplicant a more widely usable product. [link via Douglas Burns]...

Advertisers Agree On Standardized Ad
Tracking System To Better Spy On You

Advertisers Agree On Standardized Ad
Tracking System To Better Spy On You 08/17/2004 05:02 PM
As TV execs are slowly starting to realize that the traditi onal 30-second-commercial-broadcast-to-millions-of-homes model of advertising is dying, advertising execs are trying to help move them along by finally agreeing to a standardized tagging system so that all advertisers can uniquely identify advertisements. Initially, this should make it easier to make sure the right commercials show at the right time, but it also opens up plenty of other possibilities -- some good, some bad. For example, it could make it easier to better customize advertising. An advertiser could easily designate multiple versions of an advertisement for different audiences, and the ID system could easily drop the proper ad into place for the proper audience. Another good idea (though, not suggested in the article, and unlikely to be implemented) would be to build up a big database of publicly available commercials. The amount of traffic a site like AdCritic used to get should show that, even if people are skipping TV ads on their TiVo, they still want to seek out and find the good TV commercials. This system would create a perfect way to classify the ads so they could be in one big central database, allowing more people to view the good ones. Of course, instead of that, it appears the advertisers are drooling about the possibility of tying this AD-ID to RFID so they can somehow tell that you bought product X after watching commercial Y. The article talks openly about how exciting an opportunity this is for advertisers, which shows just how backwards their thinking is. If they want to use these new technologies, instead of telling us how they're going to use them to spy on us, tell us how they'll make our lives better.

The International Open Source Network (IOSN) is a Center of Excellence for FOSS in the Asia-Pacific Region. It shapes its activities around Free/Open Source Software (FOSS) technologies and applications. Via a small secretariat, the IOSN is tasked specifically to facilitate and network FOSS advocates and human resources in the region. The vision is that developing countries in the Asia-Pacific Region can achieve rapid and sustained economic and social development by using affordable yet effective FOSS ICT solutions to bridge the digital divide.

MRTG is the Multi Router Traffic Grapher, a piece of free software released under the GNU General Public License. It was written primarily by Tobias Oetiker and Dave Rand. MRTG produces Web pages that display graphs of bandwidth use on network links on daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly scales. This can be an invaluable tool for diagnosing network problems because it not only indicates the current status of the network but also lets you visually compare this with the history of network utilization.

Meshcube: Open Source Mesh Network Nodes

Meshcube: Open Source Mesh Network Nodes 06/28/2004 09:55 AM

I must presume, when looking at the prices for the 'Meshcube,' that "199,90 EUR" really means about €200, not €20,000, because as cool as a tiny, mesh network computer is, I don't think there's any way I'd pay 20 large for one. Mesh networks are like generic WiFi networks, except that as you continue to add nodes -- like the little Meshcubes, for instance -- the network can expand out, without many of the limitations of traditional wireless networks with repeaters. There are other differences, too, but for now we can just enjoy a cute bug computer with no moving parts, a 400MHz MIPS processor, and two WiFi interfaces all crammed into a 7 x 5 x 7cm cube.

Open source operating system increases
accountability 05/30/2004 11:44 AM

The creator of open source operating system Linux , Linus Torvalds , asked Linux developers to acknowledge a Developer's Certificate of Origin (DCO) . The DCO specifies the authorship of each contribution to the Linux code, while making clear the coverage of intellectual property under the General Public License ( GPL ).

This increased formalization of a major open source project is possibly in response to the series of lawsuits filed by the SCO Group , which turn on claimed ambiguities in the licensing and authorship structures of Linux. Many observers do not see the DCO as establishing total legal immunity.

The Champaign-Urbana Community Wireless Network (CUWiN) released the fruit of their efforts at the end of the week: The project is an open-source effort to provide mesh networking with no center. The system is self configuring among nodes which need no non-volatile or permanent storage. To set up a CUWiN network, you burn a CD with the 0.5.5 software later this week and use it to boot a computer with a support wireless card. The system finds nearby nodes, creates tables, and establishes itself as part of the network. The software is free and open source. The full press release is after the jump....
