Microsoft to use Longhorn to secure Web
03/28/2005 11:01 AMMICROSOFT will tackle the growing fear of identity theft in its
upcoming version of Windows, codenamed Longhorn, with a technology it
calls ‘info-cards’, the Wall Street Journal reported today.
The scheme bears a resemblance to the Passport scheme Microsoft tried
reasonably unsuccessfully to introduce to its online services like MSN
and Hotmail, as it relies on users being willing to hand over their
personal data to 'trusted' companies.
Info-cards, said the Journal, will allow users to "selectively
disclose information about themselves to businesses or others online".
The software will store users’ personal information such as
credit-card numbers or phone numbers and allow data to be transferred
in an encrypted form "that can be decoded only by trusted Web sites".

07/07/2004 01:17 AMA number of security bodies and industry experts, including the US
government-backed CERT, and non-profit Sans Institute, have urged
companies to consider Microsoft alternatives. These include Netscape,
Opera, Mozilla and Apple's Safari.
Richard Brain, technical director at security consultant ProCheckup,
said: "It is a good idea to use other, safer browsers like Firefox by
default, and the more complex, buggy Internet Explorer to access those
sites which will only work with IE.
"IE is an overly complex bit of software that should really get back
to its simpler roots as a web browser, so that Microsoft developers
can simplify it and remove its security holes," he said

Secure UI: Phishmarking
Secure UI: Phishmarking
02/16/2004 04:08 PM
This post describes variations of an idea that
reduce the vulnerability
discussed in Visual
Spoofing and Visual
Illusions posts.
Below is an example of a phishing attempt using the
visual spoofing techinque
(clickthrough to see it fully). It shows a browser window
containing an image
of a explorer window and an fake HTML form inside a DIV
section. While wary
experienced users will catch on to what is going on, naive users
are not likely to.
The idea of phishmarking is to introduce features to the UI
that clearly distinguish
the real UI from the fake UI. Appearance of the feature
should vary depending
on on who (user), when (time), and possibly what (site). Site
dependent feature
is a big topic so I'll discuss it in future posts.
When I came up with the idea of phishmarking, I was thinking about
tigers, so I originally thought
of using tigerprint-like patterns to be embossed into the
background of UI components
like toolbars and titlebars. Other patterns will work just as
well as long as
the pattern is not a simple geometric shape and has some random
elements to it.
I call these patterns phishmarks.
Note that phishmarks doesn't have to be present all the time on the
UI as long
as the phishmark appears briefly within the time frame that
typically takes to be
fooled by a fake UI. In fact, I recommend brief display of
animated (to draw
attention) phishmark over static phishmark which could clutter up
the UI.
A simple, easily implemented, form of phishmarking is changing
UI colors.
But this technique is not as effective as using animated phishmarks
as you can see
for yourself in the following screenshot. It's same as the
screenshot above
except I have changed the UI theme from default blue XP theme to
silver XP theme.
In this example, the color change was not drastic enough to cancel
the illusion created
by the fake UI and the power of branding (logo, graphics,
layout). Making more
drastic color changes is possible, but not without affecting
aesthetics negatively.
More research is needed in this area to find the right balance
between protection
against phishing and aesthetics.
I have other ideas related to visual spoofing and visual security
and will post them
in the near future under the Secure UI series. Stay tuned.

01/22/2004 03:04 AMIt seems there’s some considerable demand for a C-callable API which
will write XML safely and efficiently. I sketched out an interface
design which you may peruse
here; I
think it’ll be pretty self-evident to the C-literate. It compiles
and I wrote and tested the
genxScanUTF8() method, so
it’s not entirely vapor. Upon consideration, I think it will be
virtually no extra work to make it emit
Canonical XML, ready to be
signed, sealed and delivered (and Rich Salz said he would help) so why
not? Major thanks to Anthony J. Starks for the name—I am not a
member of Gen X myself, but I do share a city with
Coupland, so there you go. Since
ongoing doesn’t have comments, I’ll post a
pointer to this item over in
the xml-dev mailing
list, which is a natural place to discuss it. It would be very
surprising if this first-cut sketch didn’t contain some stupid
errors, so go get ’em.

a Genx
tarball; the documentation is separately available

because it’s all that buggy (it doesn’t do that much, after all)
but because it’ll quite likely change once some other smart people
see the problems I haven’t. There are quite a few departures from
the designs I posted earlier and where the ensuing discussion got to,
simply because I’ve now written the code; and I’m never smart
enough to understand the problem until I’ve written the code. For
those who care about such things, discussion will probably be mostly
on

generation playtest classic games from the '70s and '80s....
It was our most popular article ever. So we're doing it again, with
a new batch of brittle truckers and a new bucket of classic
games....

the little people you have to stick in your car.
EGM: Before this came out in compilations, we used to put quarters
in arcade machines.
Parker: You wasted quarters on this?
EGM: Yeah.
Parker: That's so sad....
Rachel: If I knew what any of these buttons meant, I might push
them....
