 Microsoft
Deal: Red Hat Quietly Jabs Novell, Feb. 20th, 2009 by The VAR
Guy: When Red Hat and Microsoft announced a virtualization partnership
on February 16, both companies directed most of their messaging
to customers. Now, Red Hat is back — promoting the Microsoft
relationship to channel partners, and taking
a thinly veiled shot at Novell. In a February
18 blog post, Red Hat says the Microsoft deal will deliver a
“bigger opportunity for channel partners.”
Sure, the blog entry contains some
marketing hype. But let’s give Red Hat (and Microsoft…)
some credit here: The duo signed a partnership
that serves customers and partners — without
spinning up any patent controversy along the way. According to the
Red Hat blog post:
"Both companies signed straightforward

Wireless
security - how secure is your data?: Jan 27, 2009, 19 :03 UTC
"What if I don't have a choice and need
to use an unsecured hotspot? What can I do?!?!?!?!
"This is the number one question. I
left it at the end because the other questions build a good foundation
as to why you need to do this.
"VPN - if you must do work through
an unsecured wireless access point then a VPN is the most secure
way to go by far. A VPN allows you to tunnel all your traffic through
it and it encrypts everything along
the way until the server you initiated the VPN with gets the data
and then decrypts it. The assumption
is that the most insecure transmission occurs before reaching the
VPN server, at which time there is
no need for it be encrypted anymore (this is a very simplified breakdown
of VPNs). If you are a casual user and don't have a work VPN but
want everything to be secure then
you can sign up for services such as hotspot-vpn which allows you
to vpn into their servers. Many other
companies offer services for a relatively cheap price." -->

Transaction signatures (TSIG) is a mechanism used to secure
DNS messages and to provide secure server-to-server communication
(usually between master and slave server, but can be extended for
dynamic updates as well). TSIG can protect the following type of
transactions between two DNS servers:
