Complexity Is the Enemy

2008-12-17 05:43:13 by Editor in IEEE Security and Privacy
 
...complexity, defining it as the density of feedback loops. Nature is an existence proof that complexity isn't the enemy of life, but complexity is the enemy of stasis. Our problem is that we've pretty much equated security with stasis, and it's slowly getting us into trouble. In the financial world, like in our world, there's zero doubt that...

Making PCI Easy?

2009-01-08 13:14:00 by Dr Anton Chuvakin in Anton Chuvakin Blog -
 
...complexity science simple So, fine, PCI compliance is NOT easy. And, OMFG, security is definitely NOT easy either. Remember Dan Geer saying that security is perhaps the most difficult intellectual profession on the planet ( here ). Also check this essay What is it that makes security hard? ( here Alright, we established that. Now what? Should...

...complexity blocks all three steps." - Bill Gates, 2007 His point in context is that people want to donate to charity but find the complexity of donating too much and they just don't. Alternatively, if they do donate, the money gets used up by supporting complexity and not really for what it was intended But there is a bigger picture here. I...

...complexity, and that, as a general rule, the time involved is proportional to the complexity of the password. So if your password would normally take a million years to crack, it would take 10,000 years with this system. Draw your own conclusions. He also points out, just to get past the WPA buzzwordism, that this is a more general attack...

...complexity approach: Some want you to increase the end-user complexity with process and unnatural actions to solve the problem. Not a good idea every time we ask the end user to be responsible, we lose control and confidence that it was indeed secure. Transparency is the key to security We at BitArmor have taken another approach the solve the...
