Hi, I am just thinking of letting the applications not be security aware..and do ssh tunneling to the various apps, in which case it seems pretty secure..Doesnt it? Thanks, Sudharsan On 6/6/06, Kyle Hamilton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: All applications must have the private key, or the public ke

2006-06-06 Thread Kyle Hamilton
All applications must have the private key, or the public key is useless. And, a public key is worthless without knowing who or what it belongs to, which is where certificates come in. (You have an SSH private key that is used to match up to your SSH public key stored on the server, for example.

Has anyone been able to build FIPS 1.0 on an IBM mainframe running RedHat AS 3.0?   Following “./config fips” the “make” gets the following error:   + ../fips-1.0/fipsld -o openssl -DMONOLITH -I.. -I../include -DOPENSSL_THREADS -D_REENTRANT -DDSO_DLFCN -DHAVE_DLFCN_H -DOPENSSL_NO_KRB5 -

Hi all, Admittedly this is not the greatest place to talk abt DNSSec. But well..its abt security :)..so here goes.. As far as i see, DNSSec provides integrity verification of all DNS data. And it infact allows assoicating keys with end hosts, making it a PKI. Given that this is the case, why exact

Hi Kyle, Thanks, I was wondering about the folloing scenario. I have a single public key for all apps. Hoever no apps knows the pub key, and all i do is SSH port forwarding. DOes this have any significant problems? Thanks, Sudharsan On 6/6/06, Kyle Hamilton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Every appl

Hi all, Well, for me the Makefile in demos/bio was broken, because it wants to link against static libraries of openssl. For *users* that do not want to built a static version, or have strange PATH settings, this little patch makes it working so one can start hacking :) --- /tmp/openssl-0.

Every application has its opportunity to be stupid and reveal the private key. This is one reason that wildcard certificates are generally frowned on as a "worse practice" -- any single one of the softwares that use the private key can reveal it. (The mantra of security is: "You have to succeed
