How to use cryptography in computer
security 06/24/2004 11:22 AM
Cryptography is the mathematics underlying computer security. While a Ph.D. in cryptography is hardly a requirement for keeping one's systems secure, an understanding of the basics helps in decision making about security, both for system administrators and IT managers. In this article, I present a non-technical overview of a few key concepts in cryptography that are relevant to consumers of security solutions. I then look at some widespread myths about cryptography, and give some advice on practical matters relating to cryptography.

An interesting interview with the Director of Anti-Virus Research from F-Secure, Mikko Hyppönen. I’m not keen on their products, but I like what he says, especially his response to the question, “What responsibility do ISPs have in protecting these home users in the first place? It’s irresponsible to sell Internet connections without telling the users of the risks. If you go out and buy an (Asymmetric DSL) box and connect it to your computer and…

MP3 interview with security expert Bruce
Schneier 05/03/2004 04:26 PM
Amazing interview (available as a text transcript or audio file) with security guru Bruce Schneier, who really should be hired to run Homeland Security.

Doug Kaye: Now a recurring concept in your book is probably typified by this example: “A terrorist who wants to create havoc will not be deterred by airline security; he will simply switch to another attack and bomb a shopping mall.”

Bruce Schneier: This is, I think, really important.  I just did a hearing two days ago on Capitol Hill about CAPS II, about airline profiling, and one of the things I’m always struck with is how good we are at defending against what the terrorists did last year.  We’re spending a lot of money shoring up our airlines, we’re now talking about shoring up trains. And money that we spend that simply causes the bad guys to change their tactics is money wasted. 

You have a red and a blue door, and the terrorists go through the red door, and you say, “We must secure the red door,” so they go through the blue door the next time.  What did you actually buy?

Expert Tips for Finding Security Defects
in Your Code

Expert Tips for Finding Security Defects
in Your Code 10/31/2003 12:37 AM
Reviewing code for security defects is a key ingredient in the software creation process, ranking alongside planning, design, and testing. Here the author reflects over his years of code security reviews to identify patterns and best practices that all developers can follow when tracking down potential security loopholes. The process begins by examining the environment the code runs in, considering the roles of the users who will run it, and studying the history of any security issues the code may have had. After gaining an understanding of these background issues, specific vulnerabilities can be hunted down, including SQL injection attacks, cross-site scripting, and buffer overruns. In addition, certain red flags, such as variable names like "password", "secret," and other obvious but common security blunders, can be searched for and remedied.

Since HG Wells first published his lauded exploration of racial identity, Invisible Man, people have been entranced by the myth of invisible men--be they heroes such as Invisible Woman of the Fantastic four, or villains such as Hollow Man's Sebastian Caine. But is it truly a myth, or do invisible men walk among us? And if an invisible man were to be created, how would we detect him and track his movements?
