Bug In the GnuTLS Library Leaves Many OSs and Apps At Risk Slashdotby Soulskill on security at January 1, 1970, 1:00 am (cached at March 4, 2014, 11:02 pm)

New submitter williamyf writes "According to this article at Ars Technica, '[A] bug in the GnuTLS library makes it trivial for attackers to bypass secure sockets layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) protections available on websites that depend on the open source package. Initial estimates included in Internet discussions such as this one indicate that more than 200 different operating systems or applications rely on GnuTLS to implement crucial SSL and TLS operations, but it wouldn't be surprising if the actual number is much higher. Web applications, e-mail programs, and other code that use the library are vulnerable to exploits that allow attackers monitoring connections to silently decode encrypted traffic passing between end users and servers.' The coding error may have been present since 2005."

Australian Company Claims Laser-Based Quantum Crypto is "Unbreakable" (Video) Slashdotby Roblimo on security at January 1, 1970, 1:00 am (cached at March 4, 2014, 10:32 pm)

The QuintessenceLabs website doesn't mince words when it comes to self-promotion. It boasts that they are "The world’s first company to harness the quantum properties of lasers to herald a new generation of data security." InvestCanberra says, "the defense and security policy and procurement centre of Australia is the natural location for large conglomerate defense and security corporations and specialist cyber security, advanced communications and radar, ICT and surveillance businesses alike," and goes on to list QuintessenceLabs as one of several "locally headquartered companies that have grown into internationally successful organizations." Here's another statement taken from the company's website: "QuintessenceLabs is the first in the world to exploit a new generation of quantum cryptographic technology which enables unbreakable, secure storage and communication of sensitive information through the generation of an ultra-secure cryptographic key." Unbreakable? That's a strong boast. Is it true? And even if it's only partly true, your upper management may call on you to explain (and possibly implement) laser-based quantum security, so you need to know what it is and how it works -- and whether it's something your company (or your client companies) need.

Regeringen hade precis premiärvisat sin nya finanspolitik när Sverige nu drabbas av ett ”försvarspolitiskt omslag”. Det kan Anders Borg få betala med skattehöjningar eller besparingar – och med en reträtt i en viktig symbolfråga för de nya Moderaterna.
