knowing stuff

Knowing Stuff. I have to admit, this second post is not as technical as I would prefer, but something that is on my mind a lot. How do we know what we know. How do we constantly work on what is as essential to us as air. Is it the same for everyone, or is […]

Review: Best tools for email encryption

Email encryptionRecipients of encrypted emails once had to share the same system as the sender. Today, products have a “zero knowledge encryption” feature, which means you can send an encrypted message to someone who isn’t on your chosen encryption service. Today’s products make sending and receiving messages easier, with advances like an Outlook or browser plug-in that gives you nearly one-button encryption. And the products we reviewed have features like setting expiration dates, being able to revoke unread messages or prevent them from being forwarded.

REVIEW: Email encryption has gotten so much better, so you’d be crazy not to use it

I once co-wrote a book on enterprise email where I likened email encryption to a “sucking chest wound.” That was in 1997, when you had to do all the encryption key management on your own, a daunting task to say the least. While things have improved considerably since then, encrypting messages is not as simple as it could be, and requires careful study if you want to have truly private communications that can’t be viewed by your competitors – or your government. In the past, recipients of encrypted emails had to share the same system as the sender, and many email clients were difficult to configure. Today, many products have a “zero knowledge encryption” feature, which means you can send an encrypted message to someone who isn’t on your chosen encryption service. Just provide them a passphrase to decrypt their message and to compose a reply to you, or in some cases they can read the message by just authenticating themselves. After this first communication, your recipient is able to exchange encrypted messages with you quite easily.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here(Insider Story)

MikroTik CCR1072-1G-8S+ Review (Part 2) – BGP Performance *** Preview ***

Part 2 is on the way!

It has been a busy week and we have been working hard on CCR1072 testing. The full review for BGP Performance is still a few days away, but here is a sneak preview of some of the testing in the IP ArchiTechs Area 51 Lab.

We put just under 1.7 Million routes across 4 BGP peers into the CCR1072-1G-8S+ and it was fully converged in 2 Minutes and 42 seconds.

Here is a screen shot of the CCR1072-1G-8S+ after converging with 4 full feeds.
