Probably much cheaper than installing tanks in the ground and pumps on the surface to handle gasoline. Not to mention remediating the site when the tanks eventually start to fail.
There's an old service station near me. It was once a fuel station, but was eventually turned into just-a-repair-garage. Transmissions, mainly. But they didn't remove the tanks when the locale switched gears. That garage is now defunct; there are potential entrepreneurs who want to use the space, but the cost of removing the old tanks and cleaning up the site for alternate zoning (one of the people looking at it was thinking about opening a cafe) is going to be prohibitively expensive.
Scientist prepares paper for CHES conference - with a little over-the-top wording in the _draft_. Paper is leaked to the internet and blown out of proportion.
It's still interesting reading. Maybe Microsemi will finally listen to these guys and stop using the same password for the backdoor in _all_ of the following chips: "all ProASIC3, Igloo, Fusion and SmartFusion FPGAs" [1]
Ok and PEA is just their patented method of automating differential power analysis using a test jig - it does the repetitive process using a microcontroller and some sensors instead of doing it after sampling everything with an o-scope. It's a good idea and they have worked out the fiddly little details... but a pretty simple concept.
Okay, but if I am reading correctly, the original post talks about access over the internet due to designed remote upgrade abilities while the URL provided for the entrust.com article says physical access is required.
This parent post looks like a much more thorough threat to me, depending on where the chips are used...
I have an 8-foot toenail that needs a little clipping; what tool should I use?
More seriously, what needs an 8KB-long name?
(That bug post contains a few workarounds that'll let Drupal get back to GET for one of the listed cases. Drupal's case is particularly pathological as it's trying to be everything to everybody; it's like being a handsaw AND a sander AND a varnish for the floor AND a dessert topping.)
A file storage service, ala dropbox, that allows you to select multiple files and download them as a zip. The concatenation of several uuids adds up quickly.
Simultaneously, it seems to indeed be a convention. And why not follow it? Do you have something whose keys really require the numerousness of 8KB of characters?
I've never lied in a job search, so I don't think I have anything to worry about. First, I've never needed to do so and, second, I wouldn't perform well under that kind of cognitive load. For someone with my makeup, that style of career repair has little upside and adds a lot of risk. So it's extremely unwise.
As I said above, I'm an exploder, not an exploiter. I get angry at a rigged game and prefer to expose the worst players, rather than joining them. Call it pathological honesty. I also know that exploiters tend to do better at the corporate-ladder game than we exploders do, and I don't think all exploiters are unethical or bad people.
On average, exploders are better people than exploiters, but a decent person who's an exploiter has a much better shot at getting ahead.
If someone took credit for my accomplishment and it damaged by career, I'd be angry and want to get him back. I'd be incensed if he lied about something material (such as having a skill he lacked) and I hired him, and I'd probably fire him. If he lied about his age or family connections and got ahead on account of the charlatanry, well... it's not good, but I'd rather that he use victimless deceptions instead of the kind that actually hurt people.
That may be, but I want to have all this information in my editor too so my editor can warn me about it. Take something like a developer just defining a macro like __USE_GNU to get rid of a warning about an undefined function; you just have no idea what box of Pandora you just opened up with all this preprocessor magic going on behind the scenes. Who knows? They might even be re-defining MAX_PATH or something. With code making assumptions on the value of this macro you could open up new bugs. I want all this information right there for the developer in his editor.
Also there's just no guarantees on how the software is built; in a lot of cases that's even outside a developer's reach.
But, yeah, since it's next to impossible to actually get to that state then, yes, sadly the only real option left is to analyze your finite set of builds.
The maps change is such a big deal I can't help but think there's also some big money involved. Also gone is the youtube app. Since google makes money from ads, and the iphone apps don't have a lot of ads, was apple paying google? Did google ask for eighty bajillion dollars when it came time to renew the contract?
