Technology Short Take 155

Scott Lowe

If I’m understanding the article correctly (and feel free to correct me if I am mistaken) it looks as if Cilium Service Mesh will leverage/does leverage a combination of certificate-based mTLS for identity at the workload level and node-based transport encryption (via WireGuard) for data confidentiality. network virtualization).

As opposed to just encrypting data at the transport level (although Acra does that between components of its architecture) or just encrypting data at the storage level (using an encrypted file system or similar), Acra targets encrypting data at the table/row/column level within a database. Acra is open source and available via GitHub.

509v3 digital certificates, how they help enable asymmetric (public/private key) encryption, and the connection to Transport Layer Security (TLS). As would be expected with any maturing open source project that is starting to see increased adoption, Kubernetes has seen its share of security vulnerabilities over the last couple of months.

A fan of network virtualization might also say that decomposing today’s complex physical networks into multiple simple logical networks on top of a simpler physical transport network—similar to Mike’s suggestion of converging on a smaller set of reference architectures—might also help. (Of All good stuff, thanks Mike!

The Hacker Mind Podcast: Hunting The Next Heartbleed

ForAllSecure

I mean, it was open source, right? Secure Socket Layer or SSL and its successor Transport Layer Security or TLS are complex protocols that operate behind the little paddle lock you see on the address bar of your preferred web browser. And is it better to be open source or commercial. So what is Heartbleed?
