More on functional encryption and two-level keys

2008-05-06 14:01:00 by Manu Namboodiri in Data Protection, Management and Leakage
 
...functional encryption. Just read another interesting article on the subject The gist of it is in using policy as a way of granting acess and reducing the reliance on a "trusted server". From the article In a functional encryption system, keys are personalized and only one is needed for a person to gain access to all the data that should be...

Researchers tout 'functional encryption' that knows who's who

2008-04-21 00:00:00 by Ellen Messmer in Network World on Security
 
Researchers detail innovative cryptographic method they call "functional encryption" based on the concept that a complex mathematical system can produce an encrypted record that only people matching certain "attributes" will be able to decrypt

Functional Cryptography the future?

2008-04-23 15:07:00 by Manu Namboodiri in Data Protection, Management and Leakage
 
...functional cryptography. Apparently the key is a function of peoples "attributes" and not having the specific key itself - as far as I can understand. I would guess that defining these attributes might be tough... Seems like they are addressing key management, authentication and aspects of sharing keys without going for a full blown PKI...

More on CEP: Process, Service or Reference Architecture?

2008-06-02 08:43:56 by Tim Bass in The Complex Event Processing Blog
 
...functional or operational ordata centric. For example, an architecture can be based on an orchestration ofservice-components, like an SOA. In another example, an architecture can be represented by the semantics of the data. In yet another example, an architecture can be represented by the functionality of the components Because Davids book on...

How Secure is Secure?

2008-05-08 16:46:00 by sdl in The Security Development Lifecycle
 
...functional requirements and security engineering quality requirements . While the SDL is focused primarily (but not exclusively) on the latter, both are ultimately important when assessing the security of a given bit of software. However, for reasons Ill elaborate on below, the SDL does focus on trying to prevent the most common causes of...
