Open Source SSL Acceleration
,----[ Quote ]
| Nginx once again has shown that it is a versatile open source project. For
| the cost of a server and a few hours work, any system administrator can
| increase the capacity of their existing server farm by building an Open
| Source SSL Accelerator. Reducing the complexity of certificate management,
| reducing the number of certificates needed and reducing the overall load per
| request on the existing server farm, this solution offers a cost-effective
| way of breathing new life into an existing server farm.

All systems go for validation of updated OpenSSL module

| "After a long and arduous journey that included a suspended validation last
| year .. OpenSSL has regained its FIPS 140-2 validation"
|
| "We called it the FUD campaign," he says. "There were all kinds of
| complaints sent to the CMVP including one about 'Commie code.' .. Silly or
| no, each complaint that's filed really slows down the process."
|
| "the ones they did see often contained redacted, or blacked-out, data about
| who had filed the complaint .. in some cases, proprietary software vendors
| were lodging the complaints.

FCC ignores more than 100 years of wisdom
,----[ Quote ]
| In 1883 French cryptographer Auguste Kerckhoffs published a set of six
| design principles for military encryption systems. The second of these
| principles is generally known today under the observation that security
| through obscurity is not security. The Federal Communications Commission
| (FCC) seems not to have read the history books or to be aware of how its
| sister federal agencies develop security standards....

The FCC, FOSS, and software radios: a mixed bag
,----[ Quote ]
| After studying the new rules -- published in the Federal Register last month
| and taking effect today -- the SFLC concluded that the laws are not
| FOSS-restrictive because they "apply to hardware manufacturers who distribute
| SDR devices, regardless if they use FOSS in them or not." And the Center says
| that since the rules specifically mention the GNU/Linux operating system, the
| FCC is actually acknowledging the importance of open source.
