The federal government is in the final stages of enacting legislation that will require all businesses in Canada to report any cyber security breach as soon as they become aware of it. It's a step meant to close what critics say has been a major gap in this country's protection of personal and financial data.

the problem is theres no solution. theres no mechanism for trusted javascript so you have to run all javascript, and remain at risk, or run no javascript, and not use the web.

altho it is funny to see self proclaimed "security experts" poo-pooing the idea of code signing and promoting arbitrary javascript execution which is the single greatest security hazard for most users.

how is this distinction significant, in terms of implementation and appearance to end users? how would code signing in the absence of both whitelisting and js-disabling bring any benefit to the user, beyond the ability to know if the JS files have been tampered with server-side?

Code signing and whitelisting of signers or specific files is more granular than url based trust and is more flexible since its transport/url independent. tamper proofing becomes critical if you're talking about transport independence and its a good idea anyways since who knows whats in between the client and the server. code signing provides protection against things like AV that sticks the same root cert into the trust store of every installed computer or china mitm your traffic while you're visiting.

my wife's hr department got phished and sent the entire company's W2s to someone. tonight I went through the rigamarole of putting freezes on our credit repots.

Experian: pretty nice and straightforward
Equifax: didn't verify my identify beyond name, address, and SSN. also didn't give me a receipt for what I had to pay, but overall not horrible.
TransUnion: requires you to create an account. I had to recover my account I set up like 10 years ago to buy a credit report. when I went to pay for the freeze, they defaulted the credit card number and expiration to the card number I used 10 years ago. like, not the last 4 digits. the full card number. :laffo:

signed scrips will still contain eval( $unsafe_variable )

the real solution is to make a sandbox that works, which probably require new cpus seeing how leaky mmu's are

nah but shaggz is talking about ones that don't chain to an authority. so the browser would then need zillions of certs for it to be useful, right?
