-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Someone wrote me offline that "Have you never heard of DSS?"My reply to this person is :"That was a form of deception(or reception) at one time,that was secure.When it was released to the public,it either became more secure,or suffered from lack of enthusiasm. By the time DSS was released to the public,there was not much else that could be done.Toasters?Refrigerators?" In reality,802.11x could be made more secure by the use of DSS.I believe this was done in the mid '90's.That chipset was phased out for lack of public enthusiasm.Even cordless phones have almost abandoned a,relatively,secure transmission method. All it takes is the key for changing the frequency....... Gadi Evron wrote:

That doesn't mean it's secure, but it's not going to be quite as cheap and easy to intercept.I doubt that, but tell me, what would you do to protect a database so that it isn't directly linked to from any remote location making a query by, say, accessing even a web page? _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
