    It's official. I just received an e-mail from Thawte notifying me that, as of November 16, 2009, the most innovative and useful idea in PKI since its inception, the Web of Trust , will die. Thawte was founded 14 years ago by Mark Shuttleworth. The primary purpose was to get around the then-current...

  • Is MS08-067 Wormable?

    A couple of weeks ago Microsoft released an out-of-band security update in bulletin MS08-067 . Looking at the type of vulnerability and the fact that the issue was already being exploited in the wild at the time, this was a good decision. If you have not already installed this security update, you should...

  • Thoughts on Security by Obscurity

    This has not really been that normal a week for me, but at least another article made it into print. The June 2008 issue of TechNet Magazine is headlined by an article I wrote with my friend Roger Grimes, Security Adviser for Infoworld , on Security by Obscurity .

  • Quantum Security

    The May 2008 issue of TechNet Magazine is out. It has an article in it that I have been wanting to write for a long time, called Quantum Security .

  • Theft-proof biometrics

    At last, there is a biometric authentication technique that cannot be stolen. Or, well, it can, but at least it won't work any longer. Drs. Philip M. Rodwell and Steven M.
