Xen* is an open source virtual machine monitor (VMM) developed at the University of Cambridge to support operating systems (OSs) that have been modified to run on top of the monitor. Intel has extended the Xen VMM to use Intel® Virtualization Technology? (VT) to support unmodified guest OSs also. This was done for IA-32 Intel® Architecture processors as well as Itanium® architecture processors. more>
Over the last twenty-five years, computers have become pervasively used tools that have enhanced the productivity in the office and enhanced entertainment and utility within the home. Their remarkable growth has been fueled by amazing advancements in performance, capability and affordability. more>
The power of the modern HPC Cluster is brought to the end user more often than not through software like StarCD* or Fluent*, two typical applications in the area of computational fluid dynamics (CFD). As long as everything works correctly – or at least as expected – neither the engineer setting up the computations nor the administrator ensuring the smooth work of the cluster actually knows what goes on inside the binary package doing all the calculations. more>
Security Case Studies
Securing the Web with Elliptic Curve Cryptography. Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) is emerging as an attractive public-key cryptosystem for mobile/wireless environments. Compared to traditional cryptosystems like RSA, ECC offers equivalent security with smaller key sizes, which results in faster computations, lower power consumption, as well as memory and bandwidth savings. This is especially useful for mobile devices which are typically limited in terms of their CPU, power and network connectivity. Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) has recently been endorsed by the US government. more>

The best way to keep on top of vulnerabilities in application security is to create secure software from the start. One hurdle is most software developers are not experts in security and, thus, secure coding does not always end up on their priority list. If you need your programmers to take part in application security testing, you will have to give them tools that operate in their programming environment and provide results in programming languages they know.

History of Encryption and Computer Disk Encryption Security Software: Sun's Whitfield Diffie on ECC and Solaris 10 OS security
Whitfield Diffie was the first to show how public key cryptography could be used by people who had no prior knowledge of each other to communicate securely. Diffie is now Chief Security Officer at Sun. Sun Inner Circle met with Diffie to learn about Sun's vision of the future of information security. more>

Web applications are the target of attacks 75% of the time compared to all attacks, hacking has become a big business where sensitive data can be stolen and used for large monetary gains. Regulation groups have acknowledged this ever-increasing issue and have created security compliance requirements for Web applications. The PCI (Payment Card Industry) has created the DSS (Data Security Standard) which was developed by the credit card companies to help protect their customers by ensuring secure ecommerce systems. These evolving standards include security requirements to insist vendors fortify their Web applications to guard against typical attacks or else risk being held in non-compliance. This free IBM webcast will discuss new and upcoming methods of attacks and provide recommendations for protecting against the latest threats as well as best practices to handle the current security compliance regulations.
