Ian Grigg's blog has a neat tongue-in-cheek review of the year in security. Here's a sample:
Browser manufacturers have moved slightly faster than your average glacier. Microsoft moved forward by announcing that phishing was a browser problem (Mozilla and KDE followed 8 months later), and again by putting some tools into the IE7 release. Another big step forward was announcing the switch-off of SSL v2. But Microsoft also moved backwards one step IMO by going for the "shared database of phishing alerts" idea pioneered by Netcraft. Computer scientists and security gurus are still scratching their heads over how that is ever going to work, given that it never worked the other several hundred times we tried it. There's more there, definitely worth a read: https://www.financialcryptography.com/mt/archives/000588.html Peter. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
