Networking. I think this three-part series on new network models for cloud computing ( part 1 , part 2 , and part 3 ), while almost a year old, is quite good. Erik Smith, notably known for his outstanding posts on storage and FCoE, takes a stab at describing some of the differences between SDN and network virtualization in this post.

I mean, it was open source, right? And this is open source software, meaning that there’s some developers or some project behind it that has already built out the basics of what you need to put it into your code and start using it. And is it better to be open source or commercial. No shame in that.

In 2013, researcher Nitesh Dhanjani found that a popular brand used simple MD5 hashes of the device's MAC addresses for authentication. Problem is, MAC addresses are not great for authentication. So what then makes IoT hacking different from say traditional network hacking. And it's not just stories from the authors themselves.

Instead of relying on a central authority, the blockchain is maintained by a network of participants, known as nodes, who collectively validate and verify transactions. Different blockchain networks may use various consensus algorithms such as proof-of-work (PoW), proof-of-stake (PoS), or other innovative protocols to achieve consensus.
