  1. The tools we used to do this are at https://github.com/openssl/too...

  2. Re: Not everyone is happy... on After 20 Years, OpenSSL Will Change To Apache License 2.0, Seeks Past Contributors (openssl.org) · · Score: 1

    please contact license@openssl.org so we can make sure we handle your contributions properly.

  3. William Whyte presented on this at the last IETF on Microsoft Creates a Quantum Computer-Proof Version of TLS Encryption Protocol · · Score: 1

    CFRG meeting. Mixing post-QC RNG into the TLS pre-master secret.
    Forward secrecy even if QC cracks RSA or ECC.

  4. Re:Actual severity vs. number of users affected on Rethinking Security Advisory Severities · · Score: 1

    "the notification is of no use to me." Then ignore/killfile the notifications. But many others see benefit from advance notice and starting to crank up their patch machinery. Even if they end up not patching, they seem to find it worthwhile as "disaster prep."

  5. Re:That is the problem. on Rethinking Security Advisory Severities · · Score: 1

    This is wrong. We're not trying to protect against National-Scale Adversaries, who probably have all the traffic the want, anyway. immediate full disclosure means that any script kiddie or criminal gets access immediately. That would be bad.

  6. Some explanation, and what OpenSSL is doing on 'Logjam' Vulnerability Threatens Encrypted Connections · · Score: 1

    Emilia from the OpenSSL team just published a good blog post that explains some of the "twists" of logjam, and also what OpenSSL is doing about it. It's here: http://openssl.org/blog/blog/2...

  7. Santa shot down on The History of the NORAD/Microsoft and Google Santa Trackers · · Score: 1

    A friend's kid was watching the tracker. His network glitched and for a minute he got the [X] icon instead of the sleigh image. He started crying that Santa got blown up.

  8. Re:"hello, world" on Barry Shein Founded the First Dialup ISP (Video) · · Score: 1

    Someone sent me a copy:

                                        Dennis Ritchie

  9. "hello, world" on Barry Shein Founded the First Dialup ISP (Video) · · Score: 1

    I remember their daily message (msgs) had "Hello, world -- dmr" for the longest time. Also that Barry had very long discussions with NSFNet folks (Steven Wolffe?) about AUP, as the first commercial ISP.

  10. One of these things is Not like the other on The CIA Does Las Vegas · · Score: 1

    Those other folks don't deserve to be in the same room as Dan Geer. See his RSA talk http://geer.tinho.net/geer.rsa... for example.

  11. Fundamental ignorance? on Small Company Wants to Make Encryption Key Management Into a Commodity (Video) · · Score: 1

    From their website: "DES and the International Data Encryption Algorithm (IDEA) are the two most commonly used symmetric techniques." Totally wrong. Doesn't make you feel good about them as a security company.

  12. Move on on Ask Slashdot: Best Way To Archive and Access Ancient Emails? · · Score: 2

    Ugh. Drop all that stuff. Who needs it? My gmail folder has 20 messages in it. Lighten your (psychic) load.

  13. Theoretically, not a problem, but ... on Thousands of SSL Certs Issued To Unqualified Names · · Score: 1

    This shouldn't be an issue, because the HTTPS rules say that the IPaddress must match, as well as the alternate names if present. Unfortunately, user's are convinced to tell their software to break the rules because PKI operations are handled so poorly.

  14. PKI in a web page on SSL Certificates For Intranet Sites? · · Score: 2, Informative

    You might find my "PKI in a web page" useful. It doesn't require sending all certs to all browsers, just the one internal CA cert and includes step-by-step screenshots on how to do that. See https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/mydeveloperworks/blogs/soma/entry/a_pki_in_a_web_page10?lang=en

  15. IETF and ICANN on Ask Dr. Vinton Cerf About the Internet · · Score: 5, Interesting

    The IETF is an amazingly transparent organization that has consistently "delivered the goods" with almost no back-room politics. ICANN is its exact opposite, perhaps reaching a nadir when one of its own board members had to sue to see the financial records. Why doesn't ICANN operate in a completely transparent manner? Do you feel the slightest bit uncomfortable with its policies and procedures? Given your background, Welch's comments in the McCarthy Army hearings come to mind.
