I worked at Tumblr up until the Verizon merger so this story drew my interest. Most of the people who work there are too young to remember Betamax but that sounds like the direction things are going. Good news is that the government of Turk

Woohoo! My urge-zero key stopped working mysteriously and I wasn’t happy about that but I’ll give them another chance.

Now that is a question only a true engineer would ask. (If you didn't ask the same question then demote yourself down to "Computer Nerd")

That is absolutely true - even if you are lucky enough to have a charge removed from your criminal record, everything on your arrest record will outlive you. Thats a problem since today every little thing gets you arrested - your average sc

Anyone with an existing credit relationship with you can still do soft inqueries so it’s not complete but (on paper) it does prevent them from selling your name to others. However if you look even closer these companies have other databases

SQLite only allows one writer at a time, so depending on your access pattern that might be an issue, but if your site is getting a million requests a day then your only processing an average of 11.5 requests per second, and what percentage

I disagree, U2F is relatively easy to implement once you understand it, I've contributed to several open source implementations and eventually wrote one of my own.

Very cool, but it looks like everybody is doing their own thing, no interoperability. =(

I'm still digesting the documentation but it looks like it would be susceptible to replay attacks also. But if all the web transactions were happening over TLS with PFS, and everyone is validating certificates, I think that would be go

Just the other day I wrote an Oauth login feature in Go for fun. Facebook banned my account three days later for "suspicious" activity. Twitter banned my account in 48 seconds - I didn't even have a chance to setup an Oauth t

I'm surprised they haven't gained wider adoption, their competitors charge yearly fees for their tokens, and in many cases you become dependent on their infrastructure to use them. U2F is a one time investment as long as the token

I've wondered why Yubico is the only u2f device manufacturer that has released a root certificate which validates the attestation certificates that the keys provide - maybe it is to discourage their use so they can't be locked out

This is going to be great - what are Yahoo!, Citibank, and everyone else who has declared war on VOIP by refusing to send SMS or voice auths to them going to do now that the third largest carrier in the US is all VOIP? Its a rhetorical ques

The banks didn't get the memo from NIST and if anything they are getting worse - they are actually ramping up their use of callback and SMS authentication. Last month I had several apps force an SMS authentication because I hand't
