Virtualised USB key beats keyloggers
,----[ Quote ]
| Aimed at companies that want to protect
| corporate bank accounts, Trusted Access for
| Banking is actually a standard IronKey USB
| drive that runs a walled or âhardened' Linux
| virtual environment inside the PC's OS. It
| comes complete with its own browser hardwired
| to access only a particular bank service, and
| incorporates RSA Secure ID tokens for
| authentication.

Why proprietary code is bad for security
,----[ Quote ]
| Tho Skype is using an encrypted protocol, itâs still their own, non-disclosed
| code and property. So we donât know what it contains.
|
| [...]
|
| Itâs time to stop accepting that we are the bad guys, and to stop consuming
| things we just donât understand (and cannot, because they are proprietary,
| closed-source systems).
|
| Say no to companies, or even governments who treat you like this. Start using
| open sourced products and protocols wherever you can. Even if you could
| still never understand the code used in these systems, there are still lots
| of people who can, and who will examine it. The magic word here is âpeer
| reviewâ - your friend or buddy or neighbour may be able to understand all
| that, and to help. No, not with Skype or Windows or any black box from Cisco.
