2008-05-01 00:00:00 by Kevin Bowers in Speaking of Security, the RSA Blog and Podcast
 
Kevin Bowers is a Research Scientist at RSA Laboratories. Here are his views on the controversy surrounding REAL ID. What do you think I'm getting married this summer and my family will be traveling to the wedding. In order to make the trip, my parents recently renewed their passports. Not because I'm getting married at an exotic destination,...

Image via Wikipedia Everyone has a story to illustrate that the TSA may not be the brightest bulbs on Broadway. I read a blog on C/Net today that once again proved to me that they are either incredibly naive or don't really think things through. Almost since 9/11 you could still fly on US airlines without showing ID. It would subject you to...

Whats going on at United?

2008-01-28 10:28:58 by HASH0x8b7fbac in StillSecure, After All These Years
 
We all know that the airlines in this country are just a mess. Today I heard two stories that show me that once again United seems to lead the way in being one of the worst offenders. First I received a call early this morning from a friend and co-worker who was schedule to fly from Denver to Dulles this morning. After paying 1300 dollars for a...

Kip Hawley Responds to My Airport Security Antics

2008-10-23 06:24:17 by schneier in Schneier on Security
 
Kip Hawley, head of the TSA, has responded to my airport security penetration testing , published in The Atlantic Unfortunately, there's not really anything to his response. It's obvious he doesn't want to admit that they've been checking ID's all this time to no purpose whatsoever, so he just emits vague generalities like a frightened squid...

Building the Security "In" is the Way to Go

2007-03-25 00:00:00 by Chris Parkerson in Speaking of Security, the RSA Blog and Podcast
 
Last week, Seagate Technology announced that it had begun shipping disk drives with built-in encryption technology for data stored on its disks. Such an implementation ends up transparent to the end user because it takes advantage of advances in encryption hardware to encrypt and decrypt information "on-the-fly" - which means that it is done...

2007-12-23 21:01:52 by HASH0x89b2224 in Dancho Danchev's Blog - Mind Streams of Information Security Knowledge
This is a perfect and currently live example demonstrating how a once compromised site can also be used as a web dropper compared to the default infection vector mentality we've been witnessing on pretty much each and every related case of malware embedded sites during 2007. The URL at a popular news portal for Russian/Iranian related news at :...

2008-02-13 05:57:39 by schneier in Schneier on Security
 
Many people say that allowing illegal aliens to obtain state driver's licenses helps them and encourages them to remain illegally in this country. Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox late last year issued an opinion that licenses could be issued only to legal state residents, calling it "one more tool in our initiative to bolster Michigan's...
