Hello everyone, it's the month for trick-or-treating and we have some
|
|
real treats for you this month.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The feast of All Hallow's Eve is a time when the spirits of the past
|
|
and the present cross the borders between each other's worlds. One might
|
|
even say they're passing into a new security context.
|
|
<p>
|
|
As you don your costumes (hey, those devil horns can double for BSDcon
|
|
this month, October 14 to 20 in Monterey - <a href="http://www.bsdcon.com"
|
|
>www.bsdcon.com</a>) and plot what kinds of eye candy to scatter
|
|
across your web pages, don't forget to consider security.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Now security is a tricky thing, many people think it just means locking
|
|
stuff down. But that's not really the case - you also want to continue
|
|
to provide whatever resources you normally do. Otherwise we'd all lock
|
|
ourselves in closets with our teddy bear and an IV drip of Jolt cola and
|
|
call ourselves secure.
|
|
<p>
|
|
It is as important to establish our rights and continued power to do things
|
|
-- to be secure in our abilities and privilege -- as it is to establish our
|
|
privacy -- the confidentiality of our data and thoughts, whether we're
|
|
talking about GPG keys and email, or business plans, or schematics and
|
|
algorithms. We also need to avoid squelcing the abilities of others --
|
|
since it's by increasing the products of our community that we grow more
|
|
capable and self-sustaining. So a real sense of security lies in defining
|
|
all of the requirements and all the constraints of what we want to
|
|
make sure to serve as well as what we want to make sure to protect.
|
|
Otherwise, we may have failed to protect our future, in the name of present
|
|
security.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Well, that's it for now. Onward to some fun answers from the Gang!
|
|
