Re: [U2] AES Encryption Of CC Numbers

2013-05-03 Thread Brian Leach
Hi Gary

Sadly the Basic ENCRYPT() function only does DES and RCn encryption.

You should look at the Automatic Data Encryption features in the database
itself - these are described in the security manual. That includes AES
encryption, but you need to do careful planning and impact assessments
before switching on ADE - it is not trivial and has ramifications.

Otherwise you are probably looking at GCI or a service call to handle the
encryption/decryption.

Which product (UniVerse or UniData) and which platform (Windows/*nix) are
you on?

Hi folks - I'm new to this community, but aged in Multivalue Experience.
Forgive me if this was aswered previously, but does anybody know of an
algorithm in MV Basic to Encrypt/DeCrypt Credit Card Numbers based on one of
the industry standards AES ? Thanks in advance ! Gary

Also If you are on linux you may be able to shell out to openssl to encrypt
a string. You would probably need to use the -a switch to base64 encode the
output.

OK.

I'm trying to use a Raspberry pi to push a button, but only want to use one 
GPIO port.
Basically, I'm trying to get the pi to turn a device on or off - and can't 
easily get to
Where the button on the device's board is at to have the pi trigger with a 
relay,
So I plan to mount the device, and have something just push the button directly.

Do they make a device that when energized,  will push a rod out then back?
Right now, my only option (maybe not only), would be to create a Scotch Yoke

But for space contraints, and ease, I'd rather put in something that would do
That as it's primary function.

The other option is a linear actuator - which personally I prefer over 
solenoids.
You should easily find something with googling ardiuno linear actuator  
(Lot more out there for the Arduino just because it's been around so long - 
same ideas/concerns apply).
 
Watch your current draw even with a relay. The RPi GPIO ports are pretty picky.

The other option is a linear actuator - which personally I prefer over 
solenoids.

You should easily find something with googling ardiuno linear actuator
(Lot more out there for the Arduino just because it's been around so long - 
same ideas/concerns apply).


Watch your current draw even with a relay. The RPi GPIO ports are pretty 
picky.

I am trying to get Rocket to improve the behaviour of *HS.UPDFINFO to
support active select lists so that only the files I want built into the
.hs_fileinfo cache item (rather than have EVERY SINGLE F/Q-type item from
the VOC included).

Support inform me that I seem to be the only person interested in such a
change, so I thought I would at least ask the question of the U2 community.

Would anyone else find it useful to have the *HS.UPDFINFO command enhanced
to support select lists, or have a new command created that deals with
select lists?

Thanks

We are on universe...  To avoid storing credit card information, you might 
consider what we did, which was to implement AdvancedWare Corporation's credit 
card interface that uses authorize.net for processing.   We do not store any 
credit card information, just a token to authorize.net's system that tracks 
everything.  The interface is used in telnet as well as being used on our 
webstore.

Yeah, that would work as well - once I know it works. The unit I bought 
actually has an RS232 interface
Vs USB - I'm hoping they also supply interfacing documentation as well. I've 
got a 12/5 volt power supply
That was meant to power external 5 1/4 drives - so I'll use that to power the 
pi, and any other devices.
What is nice, is I should be able to remove the batteries from the device as 
well, and power the BP machine
With that power supply.  As time goes on, I'm looking to interface in a Pulse 
Ox reader as well.  And I'm
Trying to design a medication administration device. Hooked together will 
import the SPO2 , HR and BP and
If acceptable - deliver a medication, otherwise, send an email out. Seems like 
a nice project for a pi.

The hardest part is trying to figure a way to dispense different shaped pills 
without having to have
Some different dispenser for each sized/shape pill. If I use a circular type 
dispenser, it becomes difficult
To store more than a weeks worth of pills (of the same type) in the circular 
dispenser.

Some pills can be 2-3mm and circular in size, others could be 2cm and oblong. 

I've seen med delivery devices, but none that had any smarts as to not deliver.

Should be nice project to learn using the pi and controlling things, as well 
have something functional
That is needed when I'm done.

Re: [U2] AES Encryption Of CC Numbers

2013-05-03 Thread Daniel McGrath
While ADE does take careful consideration, it really should be what you are 
doing.

Encryption is hard. Using encryption primitives correctly is hard (ie, most 
people will get it wrong). Designing a secure encryption system realistical 
better than plaintext if your server or data is compromised is even harder.

If you don't know the differences between CBC, ECB, CTR, OCB, CFB modes, when 
to use which one, and how certain modes lead to easily compromising the 
encryption, before reading this it is a good indication you should not attempt 
to do it yourself.

ADE was designed by our in-house security expert and has many features (such as 
multiple keys, wallets) designed for properly protecting your data. 
Professional services can assist you setting up ADE if needed.

Also If you are on linux you may be able to shell out to openssl to encrypt a

Hi Gary

Sadly the Basic ENCRYPT() function only does DES and RCn encryption.

You should look at the Automatic Data Encryption features in the database 
itself - these are described in the security manual. That includes AES 
encryption, but you need to do careful planning and impact assessments before 
switching on ADE - it is not trivial and has ramifications.

Otherwise you are probably looking at GCI or a service call to handle the 
encryption/decryption.

Which product (UniVerse or UniData) and which platform (Windows/*nix) are you 
on?

 Looks like no to me.
 Maybe someone could write one ?

Yeah, and maybe someone could give the source away for free too, eh?

Things like this shouldn't be built into a database. The database
should call to well-maintained underlying utilities written by people
who specialize in such things. That can be done with GCI or other
mechanisms.

If you do link with a dedicated solution, I know some people have
expressed concern that simply by transferring credit card data into
another tool the data is exposed. For example, the most naïve approach
would be something like this:

CMD = \aes.encrypt \ : INFO : \  result.file\
EXECUTE \sh  -C \ : cmd CAPTURING OUT ; * ignore syntax
READ ENCRYPTED FROM F.TMP,\result.file\ ...

The problem there is that a hacker could put code into the system to
log process activity. For example, the above commands would be openly
visible to a ps auwx | grep encrypt. Some people like the idea of
writing stuff to disk, processing it there, and then importing the
results. But a simple file activity monitor could grab that data in
the time it takes to process and delete it.

Now someone could respond that if you have a hacker who can do that on
your system that the gig is already up. Sure, but that's the nature of
hacking, and blind confidence in security is exactly what leads to
announcements in the nightly news, fines, and law suits. One
disgruntled employee or consultant could easily accomplish that -
attacks like this don't always come from outside.

Just the concept of storage of credit cards brings up all kinds of
warnings. There are laws and protocols for such things requiring a Lot
of research and internal compliance - this game is not for amateurs.

The bottom line is usually simply not to do that, which leads to
authorize.net and similar solutions proposed in this thread. Don't
accept cards in your own web pages for local storage, and don't allow
customer service people to enter CC data in your green screen app. Use
resources provided by professionals. Integrate. Everything doesn't
need to be DIY.

Re: [U2] FOSS

2013-05-03 Thread Tony Gravagno
From: Wjhonson 
 Tony, the link I posted has tons of free code.

Just no MV BASIC implementation. So the tons of free code there has nothing to 
do with your suggestion that someone write something new.

 So giving it away for free is not anything new, although I know that
 attacking that idea is your own personal hobby horse :)

I manage and/or contribute to freeware on Google Code, Codeplex, Sourceforge, 
GitHub, PickWiki, my own freeware page, and elsewhere. I also provide 
occasional forum support for various freeware projects and Android apps. It's 
easily evident that I don't have any axe to grind against freeware.

 I was just suggesting maybe there could also be a BASIC algorithm
 listed on that link, along with all the other ones listed.

And I just have a visceral reaction when people _assume_ that something of 
value is going to be written on uncompensated time, given away for free, and 
then maintained at no cost by people who obviously derive commercial benefit.

You mistake my pro-FOSS comments as attacks. The problem with the FOSS model is 
that it's horrendously abused by people who take but don't give back, by people 
who assume that there is no cost in terms of time or contributions, let alone 
money) for what they consume, but people who casually suggest that someone else 
will provide slave labor for the benefit of all. The FOSS world is a mass 
graveyard of dead projects abandoned by altruistic developers who've been 
abused by hoards of people who love their software creations - and when one 
developer is beaten down the locusts fly off to the next project. Our own 
community has hundreds of offerings that have suffered this fate. I support the 
model enough to point out its faults in the hope that good software doesn't go 
away because of the propagation of this inane idea that somehow it's all free 
- as in beer.

One of the problems with this MV industry is that it's all about Take and not 
about Give. If this industry as a whole had a clue what FOSS was about (rather 
than just paying lip service) then we could be following the lead of many other 
platforms out there and attracting new developers.

Far from attacking FOSS, I have strong objections to those who chronically 
don't understand how it works, especially when that erodes at our everyday 
business lives. _That_ is the hobby horse that I ride.

Huh yes it does have to do with the suggestion that someone might want to write

So... it can be included... on that page.
That's what it has to do with this.

I personally Tony, have zero use or interest, in this code.

 However just like any list of implementations, whenever we do not have a 
BASIC one, we lose the war.

That's always been my argument.  If Pick wants more exposure, we need to expose 
it more.
Not hide it.

Have to say, I'm enjoying this line of conversation, too.  I did some RD work 
with a guy who created a PC card that pretended to be RS232, so PICK could 
drive it, but actually drove a wireless.  We did some pretty fun things with 
that device. It died due to problems getting permission to use a meaningful 
radio frequency for what they really wanted it for.  I believe I have a floppy 
somewhere (probably not readable any more) with the BASIC code that drove the 
whole thing.  Also have code that drove a Motorola pager from PICK.

I have to agree that every once in a while it's fun to play around with 
something challenging and real, where digital and real worlds collide...

 OK. Nevermind, I got what you mean.

 Not pull as push/pull, but rather remove.

 Having a Pi and using it to actuate a solenoid to push a button is
 like going back into the dark ages with the star ship enterprise. Pull
 the button and wire in a solid state relay.

I agree with your approach: prototype the button-pusher with a solenoid to 
ensure your idea works *before* you tear apart the working hardware -- a normal 
engineering approach.

Be sure to use a diode across the solenoid coil as was suggested elsewhere. If 
you're unsure of a circuit, I'm sure many of us could provide one if you ask.

Good luck!

So, the $20 question...

For this part, you may have found it locally at a Radio Shack, had some
parts laying around, or ???
Here outside Philadelphia, I continue to seek a parts supplier that doesn't
have a $20 minimum order for parts not normally stocked. Even that was from
an internet parts supplier, so it's hurry up and wait. Haven't found any
other local brick and mortar (outside Philadelphia) stores.

If not at Radio Shack, where are you getting parts and skirting the
shipping, waiting, and minimum order?

Off subject but just stupid in my case, I lost vertical on my tv lst night. 
I opened it up found a bad cap in the vert supply 10uf at 100v and
transposed the numbers when going throught the caps, inserted a 100uf 10v
cap and blew the supply resistor. A new resistor ( why I have resistor on
the brain today ) and the right cap and all is well. I seem to be
transposing numbers a lot lately. Brain damage finally showing up.

Both adafruit.com and spark fun.com carry solenoids that will work and they 
also have tutorials that'll help.

Amazon also has lots of stuff if you already kinda know what you want. If you 
want things that'll interface with a micro like the RPi or Arduino, just put in 
a search for 'arduino solenoid' and you'll get a fair number of hits.
