Trusted merchants 12/30/2004 11:29 AM

I got an email from a stranger asking where he should donate money for tsunami victims. I sent him the urls to the donation pages up at Amazon and Google. I didn't send him to Wikipedia. Apparently, for this type of information I trust a top-down source more than a bottom-up one. Wikipedia does its best to discourage trust on this topic, and appropriately so: Due to its open and collaborative nature, Wikipedia cannot guarantee the veracity of outside links or the absence of possible scams involving charities, thus the potential danger of fraud exists. In particular, please beware of...

Trusted Networking?


Trusted Networking? 05/11/2004 03:16 PM
Last week we wrote about how the idea of compl y and connect security was beginning to get more attention than the traditional "scan and block" method, which has been shown to be too reactive. At the time, we suggested a hybrid approach would make more sense. Furthering this point, the unfortunately named Trusted Computing Group is working on a standa rd for establishing security policies for a "comply and connect" system. This way, anyone can set the rules and they can be used across different vendors. The companies involved are all quite impressive, but it does seem like they're all heavily invested in this area already - meaning that the solution is likely to have compromises and be more focused on protecting business models than actually solving some of the bigger issues concerning stopping malicious attacks and files.

What Happens When The Internet Is
Trusted?
12/16/2003 05:16 PM
Someone who prefers to remain anonymous wrote in with a link to a Newsweek story painting a scary portrait of the future internet that some big companies envision. Under the name (popularized, of course, by Microsoft) "trusted computing", they're trying to clean up the internet. However, just like pioneering places in the real world, "cleaning up" often means "locking down", which can take away the rights and freedoms of individuals mainly because a small number of them abused those rights and freedoms. At the same time, however, the article suggests that in such a cleaning up, we're simply making the internet safe for big companies. The big question, then, is there a way to deal with the bad seeds in an online world where anything goes that doesn't require restricting our freedoms and openness? Or are the two things mutually exclusive? I'd like to believe that it's possible to preserve the rights and freedoms, but it will take more work - because it involves focusing on stopping the abusers, instead of just blocking everyone.

Beware of Fully Trusted Code


Beware of Fully Trusted Code 04/09/2004 03:57 PM
The vast majority of managed applications run with full trust, but based on my experience teaching .NET security to developers with a broad range of experience, most really don't understand the implications of fully trusted code. So I've pulled together a number of examples where fully trusted code can skirt around common language runtime (CLR) security features, starting each with a question that seems to have an obvious answer.

Steven Levy on Trusted Computing


Steven Levy on Trusted Computing 12/11/2003 09:38 AM
Steven Levy, author of Hackers and Crypto, has a fantastic piece on Newsweek's site about the potential dangers of Trusted Computing.
How could the freedom genie be shoved back into the bottle? Basically, it's part of a huge effort to transform the Net from an arena where anyone can anonymously participate to a sign-in affair where tamperproof "digital certificates" identify who you are. The advantages of such a system are clear: it would eliminate identity theft and enable small, secure electronic "microtransactions," long a dream of Internet commerce pioneers. (Another bonus: arrivederci, unwelcome spam.) A concurrent step would be the adoption of "trusted computing," a system by which not only people but computer programs would be stamped with identifying marks. Those would link with certificates that determine whether programs are uncorrupted and cleared to run on your computer.
