- Fascinating discussion of (PDF File) peer to peer network security vulnerabilities. If you lack a background in computer security, this may be difficult reading. But the brief summary is that there are many ways that an attacker can fake IP addresses or song downloads to make it look like an innocent party is involved in a peer to peer file sharing network. The result is that the RIAA, who is filing lawsuits at users of P2P networks, may have difficulty proving that a particular IP address was indeed being used for file downloading. The RIAA already ran into problems when it accused a 66 year old grandmother of downloading music on the Kazaa network. |

- Apparently, the CIA formally asked the Justice Department to investigate the Wilson leak -- two weeks or more ago. The issue came to a head this weekend when someone -- someone from the CIA? -- leaked the request for investigation and some information about the original crime. Suddenly the Justice Department is on the case. The appearance of impropriety rears its ugly head. |

- Prasad Yendluri, principal architect at webMethods, has written this good look at the issues surrounding reliable-messaging protocols. He begins with the objectives and explains why, in a multi-hop architecture such as will be typical for web services, we need protocols that operate at a level above the hop-to-hop transports. He then describes the prior art of RosettaNet, BizTalk, and ebXML. The meat of the paper is a good and detailed presentation of WS-Reliability, of which webMethods is a co-sponsor to OASIS. Finally, the author explains the differences between that protocol and WS-Reliable Messaging proposed by IBM, Microsoft, and BEA. |
