Solaris 10 Container Virtualization Primer: One of the key breakthrough technologies in Solaris 10, Solaris Container has the ability to promote server consolidation, as well as improve application availability and manageability. In this interview, Inner Circle plays 20-plus questions with Sun virtualization experts Joost Pronk van Hoogeveen, Jeff Victor, and Chien-Hua Yen to more fully understand the potential, capabilities, and limitations of Solaris Containers and Solaris Zones. more>

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>

Whitepaper. The Solaris Cryptographic Framework provides cryptographic services to users and applications through commands, a user-level programming interface, a kernel programming interface, and user-level and kernel-level frameworks. The Solaris Cryptographic Framework provides these cryptographic services to applications and kernel modules in a manner seamless to the end user, and brings direct cryptographic services, like encryption and decryption for files, to the end user. more>

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>

Online Data Storage Data Mining Knowledge Management: Adding identity intelligence to information lifecycle management. It's Bill Vass back with another letter. I turn my attention to information lifecycle management (ILM). In a word: storage. Back in my days as technical director at the Department of Defense — and while I held development and operations jobs here at Sun and other companies — storage received prominent attention. For large-scale application developers, optimizing storage for access and update speeds is always important, as is configuring the storage environment for availability. more>
