Security Implications of Poor Code Signing Practices

August 30, 2019 by Gregory

Many modern businesses develop code in-house as part of the products and services for their customers. These applications can vary from simple web applications designed to allow the customer to easily manage their accounts with the organization via the Internet to desktop applications that represent a significant part of the company’s offerings to the customer.

Regardless of the type of software developed and used by the organization, application security is a significant concern. In many cases, the organization’s software is the primary way that the customer interacts with the organization. If there are functionality or security flaws in the application, it can negatively reflect on the company and may even be the cause of lost customers or sales.

The concept of code signing is nothing new and is extremely valuable to improving application security. However, many organizations have poor code signing practices, opening them up to attack by hackers trying to take advantage of their good name to hide their own efforts to spread malware. Understanding the risks associated with poor code signing practices and taking steps to improve them is an important aspect of good application security.

What is Code Signing?

Code signing is what makes it possible for users of an application to verify the creator. The developer creates a digital signature using a secret encryption key known only to them. They then provide a public encryption key that, along with the file itself, can be used to verify the signature. The assumption is that, since only the owner of the secret key knows what it is, only they can generate a valid signature, so you can trust the software that the signature verifies.

One example of when you’ll see code signing occur is when you’re trying to install software on your phone or computer. On an iPhone, you can only install an app if it’s been signed using keys issued by Apple. This allows them to maintain control over what is installed on their devices. On Windows computers, the OS will warn you that the developer of the application cannot be verified if there isn’t a trusted signature, ensuring that you are caught by surprise by unsigned code. If code is signed correctly (and the creator is someone you trust), this is a strong mark in favor of the program being safe to install.

Beyond the signatures on the original program, code signing is also invaluable to securing the update process. It’s not difficult for an attacker to send a malicious update to a piece of software. However, most software uses signed updates, where the update is protected by a digital signature that could only be generated by someone with knowledge of the secret key. If the software will only accept and install signed updates, the bar is much higher for attackers attempting to insert backdoors or other malicious code into legitimate software. Code signing is what makes automated updates over the Internet possible and secure.

Implications of Poor Signature Security

Despite the importance of strong code signing practices and security for application security, many organizations have a weak strategy for protecting the secret keys used to sign their code and software updates. A recent survey found that only 28% of organizations had a well-defined process in place for signing their code. The remaining 72% of organizations (and all of their customers) are vulnerable to attacks where hackers attempt to gain access to code signing keys in order to sign malicious software updates. Since over a third (35%) of organizations don’t even know who is “in charge” of their code signing key, the bar isn’t set very high for hackers.

And those hackers are definitely making an effort to gain access to those poorly protected certificates. A report published in May 2018 described the tactics of a set of Chinese hacking groups operating as a team. In general this group targeted gaming studios and other tech companies that develop computer software for sale. One of the members of the group would perform the initial scouting for other groups, and, after obtaining access, search for storage drives and other places where the secret key used for code signing might be located. If they managed to steal keys, they would have the ability to load malware onto clients’ computers while hiding behind the legitimate code signer.

Improving Application Security

For software developers, the security of code signing is important for multiple different reasons. The first is that attackers taking advantage of poor code signing key security may manage to corrupt their supply chain. Most software has third-party dependencies, and a signed (but malicious) update to these could negatively impact the application itself. For this reason, it is important to develop a security plan that manages the possibility of corrupted dependencies within the organization’s software.

Finally, developers of valuable software might be targeted by groups attempting to steal and misuse their code signing certificates. If successful, an attacker could corrupt their application code on their customers’ machines through signed malicious updates. To protect against this, organizations need a comprehensive security strategy. Beyond defending the code signing keys, it’s also important to implement detective and protective mechanisms for the code itself. This requires a degree of visibility beyond that of traditional, perimeter-based security solutions, so organizations in this situation should research and deploy runtime application self-protection (RASP), defensive software integrated into the product itself, to ensure their application security.

The Benefits of IOS Over Google Play

August 26, 2019 by Gregory

For those who use the iPhone the technology used to drive these products provides several advantages over Android. The key app purchase area is either the app store for iPhone or Google Play for Android. The question you might have as a new investor is which is better and why. Here is a comparison of the two.

If you are purchasing a new smart phone and you what to trade forex or CFDs, chances are that you will be using one of two operating systems, which are Google’s Android or Apple’s iOS. These two platforms accounted for nearly all the new operating systems on smartphones shipped in 2018. Microsoft has thrown in the towel on its Windows Phone, BlackBerry makes Android devices now, and there are very few other options worth considering. The number of apps on Google play in 2018 was 2.7 million, while ios had 2.2 million apps.

Traditionally, iOS has been a more lucrative platform for developers, so there has been a tendency for new apps to appear there first. In the US iOS still leads the way, but developers elsewhere are increasingly targeting Android as the first place they introduce new applications. The Play Store still has a higher percentage of free apps in comparison to the App Store. But the best mobile games still land on iOS first according to many surveys.

Organization

Between the two stores, there are millions of apps and games and neither Google’s Play Store or Apple’s App Store organize their stores perfectly. The Play Store is easier to search compared to the ios store and you can queue and install apps from the web browser on your PC or laptop. The Play Store has an advantage as it provides a no hastle refund policy within two hours of purchase. There are some questionable apps in both stores, but Apple is generally stricter about blocking certain types of apps.

More People on Their Products

One of the most popular applications is the mapping application that is offered for free by Google and Apple. Apple Maps did not have a great start, but it has improved significantly. Key features are similar, you can download maps for offline use, get accurate estimates based on current traffic conditions, and find turn-by-turn directions for driving or walking. One thing that Google Maps offers that Apple Maps doesn’t is cycling directions. Overall, the scale and quality of Google Maps is unsurpassed. It has more points of interest and it is generally more detailed than Apple Maps.

Which is better for Trading?

Both applications provide a great trading experience. Your preference as to the phone or tablet you like to use should take precedence over the operating system. Both systems offer excellent trading applications and few brokers offer only one operating systems. You will find that the majority offer both ios and android.

6 Reasons Why You Should Consider a Career in Software Engineering

August 22, 2019 by Gregory

Having a strong interest in computer programming should be enough reason for anyone to choose software engineering as a profession. However, other practical reasons must not be overlooked before you make your final decision as it is going to have a huge impact on your life.

Listed below are helpful reasons why anyone should choose to become a software engineer rather than other high paying careers out there.

1. Software engineers can earn over $80,000 per year

One reason why it’s well worth becoming a software engineer is that the average salary for software engineering is over $80,000 a year. With a bit of experience under your belt, you should be able to apply for a software engineer position at a prominent company that offers over $100,000 a year.

So if you’re looking for a possible career that offers great career opportunities and a competitive pay rate, you may want to pursue a career as a professional software engineer.

2. You’ll be able to collaborate with like-minded individuals

Software engineers are required to solve issues with new applications and software as part of a team and often work with other software engineers in order to develop brand new products. So if you assumed that software engineers spent most of their time working alone, think again. As a software engineer, you’ll be able to work alongside other individuals who share your passion for software engineering.

3. You’ll be able to make a huge impact

Not only will you earn a competitive salary as a software engineer but you’ll also get to make a mark on the world. As you’ll be able to work for companies whose ideals and vision you share. As an example, you may choose to work for a company that wants to improve the everyday lives of individuals. No matter what issues are close to your heart, you’ll be able to apply to work at a company whose values are in line with your own values.

4. Software engineers are in high demand

In many cities around the world software engineers are in hot demand and there simply aren’t enough software engineers to fill all of the positions which are vacant. Especially as every business around the world now requires the skills of a team of professional software engineers.

5. You’ll be able to work abroad

If you’re interested in applying for jobs abroad in order to experience the benefits of working in a foreign country, you won’t have any difficulties finding a high paid job abroad. As software engineers are in high demand in most cosmopolitan cities around the world.

For example, if you have an interest in working in Asia for a year, you’ll be able to find software engineering position in a city like Tokyo, Beijing or Seoul. Alternatively, if you have a strong interest in living and working in a busy European city such as Berlin, London or Paris, you’ll also be able to find a position which interests you.

6. You’ll be suitably challenged

Another advantage of working as a software engineer is that you’ll be suitably challenged as software engineering requires great problem solving skills.

If you love the sound of the benefits associated with working as a software engineer, it’s well worth finding out more information about pursuing a career as a software engineer!

Customized Gifts from The Internet

August 13, 2019 by Gregory

Buying a gift is probably one of the most frustrating nice things that you can do for anyone. Why frustrating? Just because deciding on a gift for someone can be such a pain. You have to think about your bond with the person, the person’s own preferences and needs, your budget and what not. All in all it can be a hassle.

Internet and Gift-Hunting

Mostly because this gift picking and thinking is not just restricted to sitting at home. To get a better idea of what you want, you have to go out into the world and explore markets and sift through thousands and thousands of products that those god-awful gift shops create that are no good. But with the advent of the internet, it seems gift hunting has become easier.

This has largely been a result of the emergence of eCommerce. Websites put up their entire catalogs of the internet for customers to explore. That way, at least the process of choosing a gift, if not buying it is made easier. Then when you do prefer a gift you can go to the outlet and buy it.

Taking it a step further though, with the advancement in eCommerce, websites today allow for payments to be made over the internet and ship the product to you while you sit at home enjoying your favorite cocktail. Furthermore, to kill the suspicions of paying over the internet, websites have also introduced a feature known as the Cash on Delivery.

Gift Customization

Today, with even more advancements, sellers allow buyers to directly just pay and get the gift delivered to your loved one; a surprise nobody would say no to. However, most people around the world giving a gift to their loved one feel that the gift must be personalized to their loved one. Yes the product is great and anyone would love it, but what good is it if it doesn’t remind your loved one about you.

The internet has found a solution even to that. With extensions such as a magento 2 order comment, websites now allow you to add comments with your order. These comments are supposed to be your specific wants. So, if you want your gift to say, “Happy Birthday, my loving wife”, you can add that to your comments and the seller will customize the gift to say that.

The Minor Concerns

With all that sorted, the only concerns left to sort out are minor ones. For instance, some people might prefer that they feel the product to check for its quality before they actually buy it. Since the internet does not allow (yet) for any such inspections, it seems that these people might have to wait a while to completely trust the internet.

However, Cash on Delivery does somewhat sort the problem by allowing the customer to check the product before they make a payment. Hence, the minor concerns are really not even a concern after all and the internet seems to be the perfect place to buy your customized gifts.

The Effect of Telecommunication Innovation and Fibre Optics in the HDD Industry

July 16, 2019 by Gregory

 

Horizontal directional drilling has enjoyed steady success in the past several decades. And, it appears that there is a long-term positive outlook for the industry in general because there is a continuous demand from utility providers, gas suppliers, and most importantly, the telecommunications market.

Building underground infrastructure to facilitate distribution of utilities is a natural result of industrialisation. As urban areas become more congested, it became more practical to install cables, pipelines, and conduits underground. Although directional drilling lost momentum for some time, the coming years will re-ignite the demand for HDD as ageing underground infrastructure will soon need repairs and maintenance.

Why focus on underground construction?

Installing pipes and conduits underground has significant benefits. First, it looks good and bodes well for cities where above-ground power lines and cables are not a practical option. Second, even in rural areas, one of the main challenges with trenching is how it can potentially disrupt and damage the environment. With HDD, there will be minimal damage to nature and critical features of the ecosystem such as rivers and streams.

Directional drilling costs more initially, but contractors will save money on workforce and the cost of rehabilitating the drill site. It also takes less time to complete a project with HDD than with conventional trenching.

The importance of HDD in digital telecommunications

Among all the industries that rely on horizontal directional drilling, the one with the most potential in terms of increased demand is telecommunications. Innovation in fibre optics is ushering in a new era, and HDD is the perfect technology needed to install the infrastructure required by cable and broadband providers for expanding their networks.

Ramping up the need for fibre optics is a match made in heaven for the HDD industry. Unlike the earlier efforts to push for more advanced telecommunications, the current demand will not be a passing trend. The telecommunications industry is gearing towards improving the existing infrastructure, and consumers are always looking for a faster way to connect to the internet.

It also helps that most telecommunication installations are done underground. As such, HDD is a more suitable solution primarily if installations are intended for congested city landscapes with challenging above-ground obstacles.

On-going challenges in the HDD industry

The rise in HDD demand from the telecommunications sector is keeping the industry steady. But there are still some concerns to address, especially since there has been much discussion about the safety of drilling fluids as well as their disposal. One of the main controversies that HDD experts need to resolve is the misconception that drilling fluids are the same as the chemicals used for fracking and oil drilling. However, this assumption cannot be farther from the truth. The HDD industry complies with strict guidelines on handling, composition, use, and disposal of drilling fluid.

What is needed by the industry as a whole is to face the problem and educate contractors, engineers, providers, and the general public about how directional drilling works and that the drilling fluid used for this type of operation does not harm the environment.

Innovation Trends in Healthcare You Should Know About in 2019

July 8, 2019 by Gregory

Technology is always moving forward. It changes the way that we live our personal lives every day, and it changes the way that we work and interact with businesses. New trends in technology allow us to get things done in a more efficient and convenient way.

This technological innovation can create very significant changes in the healthcare industry. No matter who you are or where you live, the healthcare industry directly affects you and your wellbeing. As such, innovation in this industry affects us all.

The healthcare industry is generally more slow-moving than other industries when it comes to innovation. But, this is not for lack of effort. Before anything new can be integrated into a health system, it needs to undergo a lot of tests and trials to make sure that it meets the necessary standards. Not only that, but it may require other supporting technologies to be created before implementation.

As new health technologies emerge to make hospital or doctor visits better, even more technology may be necessary to help things run smoothly. For instance, many websites for health systems may have a log in so that users can access personal information. Security features to prevent those accounts from being hacked will also need to be created.

This year, we will see some new innovations alongside improvements in established technology and features that we’ve already seen in recent years. Old processes are being updated and new technology is being created to support them. Here are five innovation trends you should watch for in 2019.

  1. Mobile-First Networks

More and more web users now rely completely on mobile phone browsers to do their internet searches. Fewer people use desktops or laptops when they only need to do quick searches for information. So, it’s important that healthcare websites prioritize mobile versions of their websites in order to meet the patients’ needs.

Not only is a mobile-first mindset better suited for the needs of their audience, but it can also save health facilities a lot of money. One health system in California expects to save $750,000 to $1,000,000 in operational costs in the five years after switching to a mobile-first network. This frees up money to go back into the health system to create a better experience for patients.

  1. Electronic Medical Records

Another way that increased internet usage is changing the healthcare industry is through electronic medical records (EMRs). EMRs are electronic versions of the medical charts that are referenced by doctors and other caregivers while a patient is in the facility.

EMRs can help to regulate the kind of care that patients are receiving. There will be no miscommunication with verbal orders or difficult to read handwriting. It can also help remind caregivers when a patient needs attention, promote transparency between patients and doctors, and prevent mishaps that could result in extreme issues like overdoses or misuse of prescriptions.

When medical staff has clear-cut, easy to find, and easy to use information, it eliminates a significant amount of errors and increases the reliability of the system as a whole.

  1. Cybersecurity

With the amount of sensitive patient information hosted through internet-accessible platforms, cybersecurity is a bigger concern than ever in the healthcare industry. While cyber attacks have been increasing every year, they are occurring at a significantly higher rate in recent years.

Not only does this negatively affect brand image and hurt the trust of patients, but it costs a lot of money. In 2018, each breached record cost $408, and thousands of them could be breached at a time.

Breaches are extremely common in the healthcare industry now. As we become more and more dependent on digital record keeping, these numbers are likely to continue climbing. Cybersecurity needs to be a priority across the entire healthcare industry.

Without innovation in cybersecurity, patients will become hesitant to accept new innovate technologies in other areas of the industry. If they don’t feel that their information is safe, they may be reluctant to go to healthcare facilities that rely on things like electronic records.

  1. Blockchain

Blockchain is a popular way for healthcare systems to increase their security and efficiency. According to Digital Authority Partners, “blockchain is a decentralized list of digital records linked together by cryptography… [it] was developed to be a secure open ledger to record digital transactions…”

Blockchain is no secret: 40% of health executives rank it as one of their top 5 priorities. It has so many potential benefits. It’s good for pharma, healthcare institutions and providers, and patients.

  • For pharma, it helps with bookkeeping and finding people for medical trials.
  • For healthcare providers, it streamlines the process of filling out forms and getting patient consent.
  • For patients, it helps communicate medical history and health analytics data to doctors and caregivers and different institutions in a secure way.

Blockchain is an all-around beneficial tool to the healthcare industry and will become more prominent in years to come.

  1. Alexa Skills

Alexa isn’t just for playing music or reading recipes. It can be very useful for promoting a healthy lifestyle too. Different skills can be designed to do just about any administrative task. Just in the last few months, a handful of new skills have been created to help with healthcare needs from home.

These skills help people find nearby urgent care, schedule appointments, manage health goals, refill prescriptions, send updates to care teams, and review previous test results and readings. All of these skills are meant to increase the convenience of getting medical care so that users can have the best results possible.

You can expect to see these innovative technologies in the healthcare industry this year. Some of them are totally new, and others are simply building onto the technology that’s already there. No matter which category these innovations fit in, the priority seems to be convenience and efficiency. The healthcare industry will be more streamlined in 2019 than ever before.

Reasons Why It is Okay to Lease a Car Even with Limited Finances

June 15, 2019 by Gregory

 

You wish to purchase a new car, but you worry that you do not have enough money to do so. As such, you might want to lease a vehicle. Given your financial condition, it is in your best interest to proceed with a lease. The good thing about personal car lease deals is that you will pay a much lower monthly fee than for a new car. You do not need a substantial amount for a down payment. You also do not need to pay other charges.

On the other hand, you might feel limited due to the mileage cap. You also have to be extra cautious in driving the car since you still have to return it to the dealer after the lease ends. Given your limited finances, you need to check the available car for lease and go for it.

You need a car right away

If you need to drive a car now, but you cannot afford to buy a new one, the most comfortable option for you is a car lease. You can even drive away as soon as you have signed the contract. Start by finding the right dealer and negotiate. Once you have agreed on the price, you can decide if you will close the deal or not. If you do not feel satisfied with the monthly payment and the conditions, you could opt for other car dealers.

You want a specific model

If you are an avid automobile fan, you know the differences among car models. As such, it is easy for you to conclude that you prefer one vehicle over another. The problem is when you want a specific model, and it is too pricey. Leasing it would be cheaper and allow you to drive it. You do not need to wait until you can afford to purchase a brand-new car. By then, the model that you like might not have the latest features anymore. You might also prefer another car model.

Your financial status will soon change

You need to be patient right now since you are not yet financially stable. You have to pay lots of loans. After a few years, when the lease is up, your financial status will change. You can decide if you will continue leasing a vehicle or you can afford to buy a new one. Since you do not know what the future holds, it is best that you try to lease first.

Find the best conditions

Before you decide to close the deal, you need to check first if the conditions are right; otherwise, you will not feel satisfied with the agreement. For instance, the mileage cap might be too stringent. The termination fee might also be too high. You can keep negotiating until you find the best model that matches your needs and is within an affordable price range. Try other dealers if your current dealer cannot give you what you want.

Choosing The Best Tablet For Studying

May 27, 2019 by Gregory

As a student, I owe tablets so much since I’ve used it for virtually everything I need to get the job done whether it be for the literature class, trigonometry, or art, etc. Indeed, tables have gone a long way and they’re as essential as ever for students looking for a fantastic studying tool.

This guide will talk about the key features that you’d like your next tablet to have before you go out looking for Android, Windows tablets or apple ipads for sale.

The Operating System

The first you need to consider is the OS you prefer. Apple provides iOS, Google provides Android, RIM provides QNX and HP provides WebOS. Each will have innate pros and cons and you must consider each carefully before buying. Android offers more options for brands and manufacturers.

Apple’s iPad line is arguably the top choice for students due to its sleek, no-nonsense OS and unbeatable seamless user experience. You should also factor applications and games as well. Picking the right OS is the most important factor when buying a tablet.

The Screen Size

The next consideration is the screen size you want. The iPad’s 9.7-inch screen is perhaps the most appropriate size for a tablet. Smaller ones would be pointless, yet anything larger will feel like lugging a laptop – not good for portability.

There are 7-inch tablets for sure, but the 9.7-inch of the iPad is hands down the size a tablet should be. Check out the screen resolution and sharpness as well since you’ll be starting at your tablet quite a lot. No one wants seeing pixels by the way and by today’s standards, that’s sacrilege.

The Battery Life

Tablets are typically long-lasting devices with good battery lives due to their sheer size, and this is why they’re so portable. A single charge can give you 7-10 hours o straight usage. Most tablets have similar battery lives, but the batteries can degrade in time, which is why this is still one of the most important things to consider.

The Processor

Almost all tablets are built to perform and open multiple programs. All manufacturers are now offering multiple core processor performances with higher clock speeds, giving you a more responsive and smooth experience than ever before. Check out the RAM and the processor speed as well as other specifications of a tablet before you buy.

The Connectivity

A tablet is useless without web connectivity so put this into consideration as well. If you have Wi-Fi access, then a Wi-Fi only tablet is a good choice. If not, consider getting a 3G enabled + Wi-Fi enabled tablet to access the internet and utilize your web-based applications. You need to choose a data carrier and data plan as well.

End Note

That’s it! After researching exhaustively and making yourself aware of all the things when you’re shopping for a tablet, picking the best one for yourself becomes easier. Check out the apple ipads for sale at Domayne to get your hands on this powerful studying tool that surely won’t let you down. While browsing online, don’t forget to either lookout for good product reviews or voucher codes as well as ongoing sales that might be available at the moment.

The Differences between Residential and Commercial Air Conditioning: Your Top Questions Answered

May 25, 2019 by Gregory

 

If your home or building has the right air conditioning system, it will undoubtedly be comfortable throughout the year, be it in the heat of summer or the dead of winter. Air conditioning systems today have the capacity to both heat and cool a room or space, and this makes them quite useful and convenient for any space. Aside from this, air conditioning can easily get rid of humidity in the interiors of a building, and this is always a good thing if you want your machinery, equipment, and appliances to stay in good condition. But if you have a company and are considering commercial air conditioning for your space, it pays to know as much as you can about it and how it differs from residential air conditioning, with which you may already be familiar. Here, then, is your guide to commercial and residential air conditioning and how they differ.

  • The power

First of all, the power produced by a commercial air conditioning system is often greater than that of a residential system, as commercial systems usually make use of several HVACs so working spaces and areas can have a pleasant temperature level and low humidity. Since commercial systems are larger, they require more power to run, whilst residential systems will be smaller and can operate on low-level voltages.

  • The placement or location

Residential air conditioners often come as stand-alone units, and the evaporators are often indoors whilst condensers are located outdoors. Commercial systems, on the other hand, will usually have the cooling and heating unit placed outside, usually on the roof. These units can be quite large and as a result, take up plenty of space, so it is better to place them outdoors in an area which doesn’t get any foot traffic. Also, units like these can make a lot of noise, so it’s better to place them outdoors.

  • Technical complexity

Residential air conditioning systems are quite basic and standard, which means that most air conditioning providers can quickly repair or assemble and install them. But commercial air conditioning systems can be more complicated, and you would need a skilled and qualified technician such as the commercial air conditioning experts from Sub-Cool FM for its assembly and installation. Here’s an example of the difference in complexity between a residential system and a commercial system: a residential unit can have its units drained easily with a single pan, but a commercial system may need several condensate pans, so the pans don’t overflow.

  • Ability to save power

Some of the most advanced commercial air conditioning systems today will feature a number of thermostats (for proper zoning). This means that each commercial unit can automatically shut itself down in an area which doesn’t require any cooling, and this can help you save on your utility bills as well. Not many units used for homes or residences are built for zoning.

There are other differences between commercial and residential air conditioning systems, but if you want the most ideal system based on your requirements, it’s best to turn to an expert. This is particularly true if you are looking for the best commercial air conditioning system for your business establishment.
