The Yahoo-Cisco technology is expected to combat phishing and spoofing, but it's not a magic bullet that can kill spam. In recent years, enterprise security spending has focused primarily on firewalls, intrusion prevention, spam filtering and antivirus products, all designed to protect organizations’ IT boundaries. After establishing the first computer security course back in 1987, Fred Piper is now hoping to build bridges between academia and industry. He speaks to Jon Tullett about his experiences

Corporate wireless networks are being left open to hackers as companies struggle to implement adequate security measures, a study claims. Data security experts are raising the alarm: viruses are getting increasingly more specialized and have lately attacked SQL Server installations that did not install the latest Microsoft security patches. Yahoo and Cisco Systems have collaborated on an authentication technology that aims to thwart email forgery by verifying emails' address of origin. Scientists have moved one step closer to the “unhackable” network by developing a device that can send single photons in a regular stream over a fiber optic link. Intellectual property is a company’s best friend, so Cigna’s CISO takes a holistic approach to guarding it. Marcia Savage reports Whitfield Diffie made his name in encryption back in the 1970s, paving the way for modern e-commerce. Andy Coote learns more about his early work and hears his predictions for web services and grid computing The computer industry, like many others, has a number of 'celebrities' who are often thought of as its backbone. In reality, there is usually a much larger group of less well-known, or more often unheard of, people who contribute as much, if not more, to the industry's success than the popular press would have us believe. The scope and character of today’s computing environment is changing dramatically. Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) is becoming an important industry accreditation for professionals working in IT security. But what does it involve and is it worthwhile? Mark Harris, chief information security officer at ASPACE Solutions, chose to do the intensive seven-day crash course and reflects on the experience. A smartcard with a scaled down .NET framework will deliver strong authentication to Microsoft users, including the software giant's own employees. In a bid to help U.S. federal agencies protect sensitive, but unclassified information, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has updated guidelines for selecting and implementing cryptographic methods.

The AppGate A1 system runs on a Sun Microsystems SunFire v100 under SunOS 5.9. Although configuring the device is simple, AppGate will set it up with the relevant network addresses for you if you provide the data beforehand. All you need to do is to install it in the rack, connect it to the network and power it up. The system is administered using the AppGate Console application.

Reports from the Crypto 2004 conference have demonstrated potential attacks against MD5 and SHA hashing algorithms. From the early days of the Internet, credit and charge card companies recognized the enormous opportunities presented to them - but they also saw challenges ahead.
