whitepaper Earth System Grid Authentication Infrastructure: Integrating Local Authentication, OpenID and PKI2009-05-20 Oak Ridge National Laboratory
  Climate scientists face a wide variety of practical problems, but there exists an overarching need to efficiently access and manipulate climate model data. Increasingly, for example, researchers must assemble and analyze large datasets that are archived in different formats on disparate platforms, and must extract portions of datasets to compute statistical or diagnostic metrics in place. The need for a common virtual environment in which to access both climate model datasets and analysis tools is therefore keenly felt. The software infrastructure to support such an environment therefore not only must provide ready access to climate data but also must facilitate the use of visualization software, diagnostic algorithms, and related resources.

whitepaper Introduction of SSL Protocol and OpenSSL Basic2009-05-04 Southern Illinois University
  Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a kind of cryptographic protocol that provides security and data integrity for communications over networks. SSL encrypt the segments of network connections at the Transport Layer. OpenSSL is an open source, multi-platform implementation of the SSL. Its core library implements the basic cryptographic functions and provides various utility functions. This paper will cover introduction and principle of SSL, installation and configuration of OpenSSL and some example of its application.

whitepaper Is It Too Late for PAKE?2009-05-02 University of California
  The most common web authentication technique in use today is password authentication via an HTML form, where a user types her password directly into a web page from the site to which she wishes to authenticate herself. The problem with this approach is that it relies on the user to determine when it is safe to enter her password. To resist phishing and other social engineering attacks, a user must rely on the browser's security indicators and warning messages, e.g., the URL bar and the site's SSL certificate, to authenticate the website and determine when it is safe to enter her password. Unfortunately, studies suggest that many users habitually click through SSL certificate warnings and misunderstand or ignore browser security indicators.

whitepaper SSL VPN Grows Up: Time to Demand More From Your Next SSL VPN2009-05-01 WatchGuard Technologies
  Years ago, businesses started turning to SSL VPNs to reduce the cost and complexity of remote access. Early SSL VPNs focused on relieving IT pain associated with IPSec VPN clients, using web browsers to help more remote workers reach common business applications. This value proposition prompted many companies to rethink legacy VPNs and launch successful SSL remote access deployments. Since then, business needs have continued to evolve. Today's workforce is more mobile than ever - demanding access to a wide variety of business applications and systems, from increasingly diverse devices and locations. IT departments must now find more efficient, effective ways to satisfy ever-changing connectivity needs.

whitepaper Bank Implements Comodo Two-Factor Authentication in Stages2009-04-27 Comodo Group
  Darby Bank and Trust Co. used an innovative method to roll out Two-Factor Authentication for its online banking customers. The Georgia financial institution wanted to enhance the security of its online banking process. Before using a Two-Factor Authentication solution, customers could log into the bank's computers remotely using only a password. The security of customer bank accounts depended on keeping passwords protected, but bank managers knew that customers don't always protect their passwords. Adding another layer of identification would safeguard the bank's deposits and its depositors. With digital certificates on their computers, and with their own secure passwords, Darby Bank and Trust's customers could bank online with as little shift as possible from their already-familiar procedures.

whitepaper Stay One Step Ahead With Comodo 2048-Bit Certificates2009-04-27 Comodo
  If one is still using a 1024-bit certificate, one may soon be vulnerable to a "Brute-Force Attack". An exponential trend in computer processing power has resulted in the ability for criminals to compromise 1024- bit key strength certificates. Leading cryptography organizations, including NIST, have issued recommendations for entities to upgrade to longer key lengths. Based on these recommendations, entities wishing to keep secure for the next several years need to start using 2048-bit certificates. This is extremely important for those who purchase multi-year SSL certificates.

whitepaper Secure Email and PKI Certificate Management Made Easy by Comodo2009-04-27 Comodo
  Business-sensitive information is often distributed by unsecured email, and in doing so it's placed at risk. The same ease and utility that allows internal users, partners and customers to effectively communicate can be allowing confidential information to be in easy reach of those who want to profit from it. To a moderately skilled person, inside the organization or out, unsecured email is easy to read, impersonate and alter, and is not much different from a postcard written in pencil.
