OpenID at risk due to DNS flaw, warns researcher : News : Security - ZDNet Asia

  • A fundamental issue affects the OpenID authentication system, due to its reliance on the Domain Name System, a Sun identity-technology specialist has warned.

  • Robin Wilton, a corporate architect for federated identity at Sun, described OpenID's reliance on the integrity of the Domain Name System (DNS) as a "multi-factor problem" in light of the discovery of a fundamental flaw in DNS by security researcher Dan Kaminsky.



    "You may have seen the recent announcements about DNS cache poisoning, and the potential effect of this on all kinds of Internet-based applications' security," Wilton wrote in a blog post on Friday. "One area in which it can have a particularly significant impact is OpenID."

Self-signed SSL certificate warnings in Mozilla - Techhawking » Blog Archive

  • Mozilla Firefox 3.0 throws a warning for self-signed certificate, and makes you do a couple of extra clicks to see the contents.
  • If this is such a big issue, the right approach should be for someone to setup a free certificate registry.

When Is a Self-Signed SSL Certificate Acceptable? - Slashdot.org

  • When is it acceptable to encourage users to accept a self-signed SSL cert?

  • They do not, and never been able to, provide any verification of who is on either end. This is because literally one second after they are issued, regardless of the level of effort that goes into validating who is doing the buying, someone else can be in control of the certificate, legitimately or otherwise.



    Now, I understand perfectly well that Verisign and its brethren have made a huge industry out of scamming consumers into thinking that identification is indeed something that a certificate provides; but that is marketing illusion and nothing more. Hokum and hand-waving.

What Would It Take To Have Open CA Authorities? - Slashdot.org

  • With the release of Firefox 3, those who have been using self-signed certificates for SSL now face a huge issue — the big, scary warning FF3 issues which is very unintuitive for non-technical users. It seems Firefox is pushing more websites in to the monopolistic arms of companies such as Verisign.

Mozilla SSL policy bad for the Web - article - cs.uml.edu

The "Or you can add an exeption" link is also too easy to overlook, not an obvious potential solution while in the first place been scared by the apperance of the main message. Remember that the main concern here is people who dont already know what it means, and whether or not the apperance of the message is tempting them to read anything or just scaring them away.

Global web statistics - browsers, screen resolutions, countries - W3Counter.com

Notice that the web statistics providers' numbers varies to a great degree, but they are roughly agreeing on the trends. Current trends (July 2008) according to various such statistics show that Microsofts browser market share (Internet Explorer) is decreasing to around 50-60%, The Gecko-based browsers (Mozilla, Mozilla Firefox, Netscape), are gaining serious foothold relatively fast with a market share between 20-30 %.
Common screen resolutions show that about 50% use 1024 resolution, and a significant and growing portion of the web users is using 1280 resolution. Web developers are currently mostly adjusting web sites to display well in 1024 resolution as a minimum. I wonder how many of the 1280-resolution folks are surfing with the browser window maximised, and how big portion is now starting to use the space on the right or left side for other things, so that they are also in effect having around 1024 resolution for their browser width? That is where the flexibility goes, I think, in utilising bigger screens (having the Sidebars visible with other content while browsing, for example). That may indicate that we would stay with 1024 as a web design minimum "standard" for quite a long time.

Firefox 3 review - PC World.idg.com.au

  • Browser security is of paramount importance. Particularly on Windows, browsers have served as a vector for an enormous number of realized and unrealised vulnerabilities. From malware and spyware to viruses and outright system exploits, all browsers have had their share of missteps. Generally speaking, user education could significantly reduce these occurrences, but that's easier said than done. Firefox 3 makes a valiant attempt, however, with a bevy of new features tuned to the average user.
  • The combination of the smart address bar and the new page-tagging feature for bookmarks can make finding pages you've visited incredibly simple. Bookmarks are now organised in a database, not in a flat file, and thus are easier to manage and search. Smart bookmark folders can be created to automatically arrange bookmarks meeting certain criteria based on tags and other information. All of these features are impressively handy no matter what I seem to be doing with the browser.
