IDG Contributor Network: What networks and the Internet of Things are doing for health care

With budgets and resources becoming ever tighter, the health care industry, in common with many others, is undergoing a significant digital transformation. Advances in digital technology are proving to be a great benefit, enabling health care providers to do more with less.The ability to securely access a patient’s Electronic Medical Records (EMR) and their diagnostic test results in real time, from virtually any device, regardless of location, is now largely taken for granted. Not only does it improve a health care provider’s operational efficiency, but it can also allow for more accurate diagnoses and inform a patient’s ongoing treatment plan. Likewise, the introduction of e-prescriptions, and almost ubiquitous Wi-Fi connectivity throughout hospitals and doctors’ surgeries, have reduced the volume of administrative tasks, allowing frontline operatives to concentrate more on their primary task of delivering high-quality health care to their patients.To read this article in full, please click here

Another BGP Hijacking Event Highlights the Importance of MANRS and Routing Security

Another BGP hijacking event is in the news today. This time, the event is affecting the Ethereum cryptocurrency. (Read more about it here, or here.) Users were faced with an insecure SSL certificate. Clicking through that, like so many users do without reading, they were redirected to a server in Russia, which proceeded to empty the user’s wallet. DNSSEC is important to us, so please check out the Deploy360 DNSSEC resources to make sure your domain names are protected. In this post, though, we’ll focus on the BGP hijacking part of this attack.

What happened?

First, here’s a rundown of routing attacks on cryptocurrency in general – https://btc-hijack.ethz.ch/.

In this case specifically, the culprit re-routed DNS traffic using a man in the middle attack using a server at an Equinix data center in Chicago. Cloudflare has put up a blog post that explains the technical details. From that post:

“This [hijacked] IP space is allocated to Amazon(AS16509). But the ASN that announced it was eNet Inc(AS10297) to their peers and forwarded to Hurricane Electric(AS6939).

“Those IPs are for Route53 Amazon DNS servers. When you query for one of their client zones, those servers Continue reading

This Girls in ICT Day, Let’s Increase the Visibility of Women on Wikipedia

At the Women’s Special Interest Group of the Internet Society we are committed to promoting the participation of women in the Internet ecosystem. We also consider it important to increase the content created by and about women on the Internet to give voice and make visible the actions, work, and participation of women in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT).

Just 17% of Wikipedia biographies are of women. This happens because of the invisibility on the Internet of their work, which makes it difficult to create their biographies, no matter how valuable their work is.

April 26 is the International Day of Girls in ICT, promoted by the ITU. It aims to reduce the digital gender gap and encourage and motivate girls to participate in tech careers. With the support of the Wikimedia Foundation and Internet Society Chapters, we are going to commemorate the Girls in ICT Day with an editathon marathon in Wikipedia, to include all the women who are working to build an open Internet, free, safe, transparent, and affordable for everyone.

The important thing about this Global Editathon “Girls in ICT” is that the content will be created by women in their native language or in the Continue reading

Continuing Support for the Work of the IETF

The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has been working recently to update its administrative arrangements to match the changing requirements it faces as the premiere Internet standards organization.

It has been more than a decade since the IETF became an organized activity of the Internet Society. Given the changes in the world and the Internet in the intervening time, it is natural to reconsider how to most effectively organize and implement its administrative structure. The Internet Society Board of Trustees supports the IETF in this work, and has set aside funding for this purpose. Internet Society staff are prepared to help implement the changes required.

Aspects of the mutual relationship between the Internet Society and the IETF, such as the role of the Internet Society in the standards appeal process, the confirmation of the Internet Architecture Board (IAB) members by the Internet Society’s Board of Trustees, and four members of the Internet Society’s Board of Trustees being appointed by the IAB on the IETF’s behalf, are not subject to change.

Both the Internet Society and IETF will benefit from an updated administrative structure for the IETF that continues to provide a solid foundation for the development of open standards for the global Internet.

The post Continuing Support for the Work of the IETF appeared first on Internet Society.
