Secure Encryption of Emails, Web Browsing and Pretty Much everything

[Anonymous Surfing on the Internet] Now of course you have to be careful with any sorts of encryption technology, emails can be especially tricky as even if you use something like a VPN like I did, anything beyond the tunnel is transmitted in the clear and of course emails will still sit unencrypted on the recipients hard drive.  One really good option for an organisation to secure emails between two or more points is to implement TLS (Transport Layer Security) on Microsoft Exchange.

Retail Payments: PCI DSS Releases FAQ about End to End Encryption

[Retail Payments] Merchants should be aware that encryption solutions most likely do not remove them completely from PCI DSS. Examples of where DSS would still be applicable include usage policies, agreements with service providers that deploy payment solutions, physical protection of payment assets and any legacy data and processes (such as billing, loyalty, marketing databases) within the merchant's environment that may still store, process or transmit clear text cardholder data, as that would remain in scope for PCI DSS.

HiR Information Report: Encryption Technologies to Avoid

[HiR Information Report] MD5 is a hashing algorithm designed by Professor Ronald Rivest of MIT. There was research which theorized collisions in the algorithm in 1993, more collisions in 1996 and finally an algorithm was created to generate collisions in 2005 using a large cluster and in 2006 the algorithm was perfected only requiring a single computer.

The database encryption with the SQLite Sorcerer » Flex"i"MMI

[Flex"i"MMI] the same password won’t generate the same hashed key if you use different apps even if the encryption class is the same : LITA, the SQLite Sorcerer in debug mode and an installed version of the SQLite Sorcerer don’t give the same key… this is probably due to the SHA256 class of AIR but it was quite disappointing for a feature I wanted to implement.
