An interesting blurb from the Actel linked page:
Many of the fundamental techniques used to defend against DPA and other side-channel attacks are patented by Cryptography Research, Inc.
Yet another critical set of concepts which should be obvious to anyone working in the field locked behind a paywall due to USPTO incompetence and/or malfeasance...
The only thing changing is that IT in general is generally considered a "cost center" to trim, IT security an even less indirectly profitable component of that cost center, and management of most organizations is becoming more aggressive at reducing that cost. Add outsourcing and subcontracting issues and you end up with a system where there is real interest only in having an appearance of security, and standard practices revolve around plausible deniability and passing the buck.
Almost everyone whose been in enterprise security for a while has a collection of cringe worthy stories they cannot share... (sigh)
How many of them were committing crimes to buy illegal drugs?
If they could have done like the local winos do, and panhandled for an hour to get their fix, they might not have been engaging in those crimes.
That is the cost of the WoD.
Which has spent at least a trillion US dollars, raped our Constitution in the US, and the end result?
Legalization would make it harder for underaged kids to get it, cut off funding to the criminals and raise money via "sin" taxes.
If "salt" means added random bits (from wiki) how does memory play a role?
Is it RAM they are talking about rather than hard drive space?
With TB drives less than $100.00 USD, it seems that space can't be the problem.
My only solace is knowing that I don't use the interwebs for any type of banking access, and that all my passwords are 15+ characters long and stored securely on Post-it notes by my computer. And if they are in my house looking at them, I got bigger worries than the sanctity of my WoW and
Everyday when she came home, I made her play school and teach me everything she learned that day.
And all my family members were/are readers. Mom, dad, grandparents on both sides, uncles and cousins.
A 14 year old, who can't make any decisions that are legally binding, such as consenting to sex with an older person, drive a car sign a contract or even refuse medical treatment if ordered by his guardians, can make a decision to do something that can get him a needle ride.
The major problem is that the age of accountability needs to be set, What age is open for debate, but at some point kid needs to be kids and on the other side they need to be adults.
And yes it needs to be across the board, drinking, smoking, fucking, dying, whatever.
A contract can not make you do something illegal. There is nothing illegal about saying 'I won't talk about you.' More importantly, the Constitution says only what the government may, may not, and must do. It says nothing about what individuals may, may not, or must do. You have no 'constitutional rights' when dealing with another non-governmental entity.
Hmm, I can not refuse to provide service to a customer based on his religion or race. The courts have ruled to do so is violating his Constitutional rights. And I am far from being a government entity.
There are 4 people who can send me an email with a link that I will click without at least googling it first.
3 of them are IT professionals for major corporations, and the other is a security nut.
A small proofing box or a 8x10' walk in cooler, conditioned by a 1.5 ton ultra-high efficiency mini-split system will add maybe 100 bucks a month to your electric bill in the area I live in. If you use CFL or tubes.
I actually was planning on going out to CA and selling the box and equipment if they passed the pot law out there.
I send out and/or drop off cards to my "good" customers at least once or twice a year.
They are simple business cards with my standard business card on the front and on the back a 20% discount, parts and labor, printed on the back.
I take the time to write the customer's name I am sending them to on the card. And the letter I include with the card tells them that if they like my service to please give out the card to folks who might need my services.
And for every card that is turned in, they will get $20 bucks.
I usually spend around 300-400 bucks a year redeeming those 20 bucks a pop cards.
And they usually generate me 80-90 bucks gross profit after the 20 buck payout and 20% off per card.
I am sure he was excited to see them being called home to the Invisible Sky Wizard.
That's the problem with all these religious fanatics, they say Heaven is great and all, but none of them seem to be in a rush to go experience eternal bliss basking in the glory of god.
Makes me doubt their faith.
Without me, it is just a collection f vans and equipment.
And no, not even a corporation and well written succession plan could change that.
Without me, the licenses are pretty pieces of paper and worth exactly whatever a paper mill will pay for them.
There are still businesses where the owner is indispensable.
With me there the company is a money making machine. Without me, it is just vans, tools and some supplies, worth very little in real terms.
