otl 0.26 (Default branch)
otl 0.26 (Default branch)
04/08/2005 04:27 AM
otl is a Perl application that is a glorified
search and replace engine. The process is
customizable; the application can be used to
generate markup such as HTML, XML, etc. from a
text file with the user able to customize the
process to a substantial extent. While the program
is designed to be used to process outlines (e.g.
lecture notes, etc.) and generate nice HTML, it
could be used in other contexts, as well by just
defining a new set of rules for the substitution
process.
Changes:
In this version, nested lists are processed better, and there
is improved documentation in the HOWTO . A GNU autoconf
automake framework was added so install is more of a no-
brainer, a --pfile flag is now used to indicate a parameter
file, filename globbing is now dealt with, the parameter file
was modified so it specifies the file suffix to tag on output
file, diagnostic information that is written to stdout has been
trimmed, the project now checks to see if the file is already
present before overwriting, and a second script, "tag-
remove", was added.
R 2.1.0 (Default branch)
R 2.1.0 (Default branch)
04/18/2005 12:51 PM
R is a language and environment for statistical computing and
graphics. It is similar to S, which was developed at Bell Laboratories
by John Chambers et al. It provides a wide variety of statistical and
graphical techniques (linear and nonlinear modelling, statistical
tests, time series analysis, classification, clustering, etc.). R is
designed as a true computer language with control-flow constructions
for iteration and alternation, and it allows users to add additional
functionality by defining new functions. For computationally intensive
tasks, Fortran and C code can be linked and called at run time.
Changes:
The most important changes are probably support
for UTF-8 encodings and internationalization,
including (partial) translations of menus,
warnings, and error messages to Chinese, German,
Italian, Japanese, Portugese, and Russian.

file provides functions operating on 32-bit wide
Unicode characters. They support the full range
from U+000000 to U+10FFFF. FOX will support wide
characters, but most functions will work on UTF-8,
which is a more compact and manageable
representation of Unicode characters. Scroll
capability was added to FXTabBar and FXTabBook.
The "remove" APIs in various container classes
were renamed to "erase", which more closely
resembles STL container classes' nomenclature.
Mouse wheel support was added for FXComboBox,

comply with the Open Sound System API specification. OSS provides a
user-friendly GUI which makes the installation of sound drivers and
configuration of sound cards very simple. It supports over 200 brand
name sound cards, and provides automatic sound card detection,
Plug-n-Play support, support for PCI audio soundcards, and support for
full duplex audio.
Changes:
Fixes were made for Envy24 memory allocation under

Wi.Ser 0.6.8 (Default branch)
Wi.Ser 0.6.8 (Default branch)
03/28/2005 01:34 PM
Wi.Ser is a Java/XML server-side GUI-framework
which enables an application to run as either a
monolithic Swing app, a client/server Swing app,
or as a Web app without any change. It includes a
mixed deployment mode, which supports one server to serve Swing
clients and Web clients at the same time. The framework uses XML to
define an application's GUI. It provides a common
widget-based, object-oriented programming
interface for Web and Swing GUIs, which prevents
the developer from struggling with HTML and HTTP
or with the internals of Swing. For Swing client/server applications
the client/server split as well as the client/server communication is
handled transparently by the framework.
The project includes a GUI builder that is based on the framework's
functionality (screenshot, deployed as a Web/HTML application).
Changes:
This release implements lazy loading for swing
widgets, which means that forms are submitted on
demand from the server to the client. This feature
brings a significant speed up for swing GUIs and a
lower memory footprint. A bug in forEach has been
fixed, and forEach is able to match names and tags
with regular expressions. The tutorial has been
enhanced with two new chapters, and errors in the
WebWindow management were corrected. A new widget
called templateSection has been added to support
embedded HTML.

pretends to be a complete replacement for Windows
servers by storing all its information using NTLM,
Kerberos, and LDAP like Active Directory does.
Changes:
The documentation has been updated to get advantage of Samba 3.0.11+,
heimdal, and OpenLDAP. An NTLogon++ script has been developed in Perl
to be a replacement for ntlogon.py with new features.
Grand 0.7 (UI branch)
Grand 0.7 (UI branch)
04/18/2005 11:03 AM
Grand is a set of tools to create a visual representation of
Ant target dependencies. It works by taking an Ant build
file and creating a "dot" file. It differs from the existing
tools by relying on the Ant API rather than XML parsing to
get the dependencies. It includes many advanced features such as
filtering or rendering depending on the target's nature. It also
features a GUI based on SWT, Draw2D, and JzGraph.
Changes:
A new "export as image" feature was added. Support
for the new target element in ant and antcall was
added. The behavior when targets with the same
name exist in several files was improved. Minor
improvements and bugfixes were made.

Trackback authentication
Trackback authentication
03/06/2004 02:09 AM
Jacques Distler: The anonymous nature of the internet makes
the problem of “identity” a hard one. In physics, when
we encounter an intractably-hard problem, our most frequent dodge
is to redefine the problem to one which admits a solution, and hope
that the result is a “good-enough” stand-in for the
original problem. In that spirit, I (re)defined the problem as
reliably associating comments posted with the websites of the
commenters.
Just a suggestion: a lesser, but very much related and much more
tractable, problem is trackbacks. The reason why it is more
tractable is that the trackbacks are issued by software which could
reasonably be expected to have direct access to your weblog's
private keys. This could make signing totally automatic -
simply check a box once, and your template could be updated and all
future trackbacks would be automatically signed.
The signatures could be passed as a new CGI parameter or as a
HTTP header. Neither would likely affect any existing
software that wasn't expecting this information.
Once trackback signing is widely enough adopted, people may feel
comfortable turning off the ability to accept unsigned
trackbacks. And then much of the infrastructure will be in
place to tackle the harder, and more important problem, of comment
signing.
The key nut to crack there is to make it easy and painless to
sign a comment.
Authentication >> The Power of Who
Authentication >> The Power of Who
01/06/2005 03:14 PMThe Cloud Allows SIM Authentication
The Cloud Allows SIM Authentication
05/04/2004 02:03 PMThe Cloud customers can now get authenticated using SIM cards: Transat
Technologies enables the service. SIM-based authentication is already
being used by some hotspots in Europe and is expected to be a widely
used authentication method there. Because Europeans use GSM for their
cell phone technologies, they are already used to the concept of the
SIM card. They can use the same SIM card for their cell phones and for
hotspot authentication, which also means they could receive a single
bill for both services. Some of the early SIM-based WLAN
authentication solutions are pretty rudimentary. They involve the user
sending a message from their cell phone to get a code that allows them
to access the WLAN. But the more sophisticated solutions include a SIM
card reader on a laptop. The SIM card authenticates the user but also
applies encryption and security to the communication between the
client and the network. That is likely the offering Transat is
delivering for The Cloud. At the CTIA Wireless I.T. show last fall I
talked to a handful of companies that are touting SIM-based
authentication tools, including some of the big SIM card makers. While
they're looking for a U.S. market, most weren't terribly bullish that
the authentication method would take off here because people aren't
widely used to the concept of using SIM cards. Even GSM users in the
U.S. don't often realize that they have a SIM card....
The cost of authentication
The cost of authentication
06/18/2004 04:52 AMLast issue we talked about two-factor authentication and I described
such a scheme used by a Swedish bank (see link below). The bank
requires a user to enter a unique identifier - a national ID number,
similar to a U.S. Social Security number, a four digit PIN, and a
one-time code that's revealed by scratching off the covering on one
cell of a 50-cell card (similar to a scratch-off lottery ticket). I
then posed the question: "Is that secure enough?" which can only, I
believe, can be answered: "It depends."

Delegated Authentication
Delegated Authentication
06/17/2005 07:10 PM
Delegated authentication differs from federated authentication
model in that the authentication
authority delegates authentication yet again. It's a double-sided
star system where
the authentication authorities sits in the middle acting as a
directory of sort.
Delegated authentication model is not appropriate for weak
authentication uses. So
I doubt we'll see banks pushing customers to some federated
authentication authority
whenever they click on the sign-in button. Where it makes sense is
protecting high-value
transactions with strong and/or multi-party multi-factor
authentication.
As cryptic as what I wrote above may sound, the net effect is that
a) consumers will
be able to buy their favorite secure token at Fry's and use it to
protect their bank
account without worrying about whether the bank supports the device
or not, b) banks
of all sizes will be able to support a wide range of authentication
methods cheaply,
and c) strong authentication vendors will be able to market their
products and services
directly to consumers.
The biggest hurdle for delegated authentication is that the cost of
fraud risk have
already become part of the balance sheet. Risk exposure is
aggregated and taxed horizontally
so that finanical risk is shared as part of operating cost. The net
result is that
individual customers face minimal financial risk which leaves them
little incentives
to be interested in strong authentication unless they are required
to use them by
their banks.

its logon security, but am not sure how it works in the Linux world?
Are there domain controllers? How is logon authentication handled?
