We have been working with University College London (UCL) for a while and one of the results is an easy to use implementation of cryptographic functions for JavaCards. We will be briefing on this at Black Hat 2017 USA.

Ok, everyone seems to be writing about it so here’s my take so far. A professional code of malware extended in a pretty silly way that somehow got into computers of companies. And hackers collected well below $100,000.

We basically gave up on going to startup events for now. I know It’s not good for marketing or when you look for equity investment. We just got tired of trying to explain what a “platform” is good for. Everyone expects a flashy demo or screenshot of your app.

Public cloud providers have absolute control over our data, applications, everything we do on their cloud platform. Independent key management lowers users’ risk exposure and as such is in the interest of cloud providers. Well, Amazon AWS has different thoughts.

We pushed hard to extend our Private Spaces and make them a great choice for companies to connect roaming users (and their own devices, while providing a high-level of security for BYOD policies).

From supercomputers to IoT – processors (or chips) are everywhere. Computer chips protecting our privacy and security would first travel the world to get designed, fabricated, and personalized. Even if we had an unbreakable encryption algorithm, it may be defeated by its manufacturing. Let’s exploit superpowers and their influence to create a practical unbreakable encryption.

We decided for OpenVPN to build secure connections to our Private Spaces. We braced for difficulties, but that was only the beginning. The point of this post is that integration testing does make a difference. And that OpenVPN is a very nice tool!

The Gateway is our first Private Space – like a VPN (if you know it), but for sharing and co-operation. We have been building Private Spaces for the last three months – a one-click secure cloud space for companies, teams, or home users.
Brainstorming session: what is key management really useful for? VPN.!?! Whatever is VPN for? Well, it could create a “private space”. A space where we could share documents, put private messaging server, or just make it a gateway to an existing office network or even the internet.

I have come across Troy Hunt’s article yesterday about getting an EV certificate. His initial assumption is that EV certificate actually proves something, unlike many other seals of “security”. But is it really worth spending $80+/year?
