I think the use of stored procedures is underrated. Create a stored procedure to verify the password and only grant permission for the web application-user to run this procedure, nothing more. No one but the database itself needs, or can ev

Why is it in all these stories about people being detained by law enforcement or border security that any questions about whats happening are just being ignored. I almost get the feeling that they willfully want to make people uneasy. Anyon

Maybe looking for the reason we sleep is the wrong way to look at it? What if being asleep is the default state for any organism? Sleeping require much less energy. The only reason to be awake is to eat and reproduce. For any animal there i

First of all, this pattern is not exclusive to password hashes. There are lots of situation when handling customer data where you simply don't need the ability for the client to query the whole data-set, and if that's the case, al

I think this talk misses one of the most important security patterns of PostgreSQL and SQL-databases in general. If you for example have a table with hashed passwords. Why would any user except admin need to be able to make a select on that
