SECURITY...SECURITY...SECURITY
IN NETWORKING
In
several deliveries of CONTROL YOUR DESKTOP the security
problem of networking has been considered (5,
16,
24,
26,
28,
37).
And we have particularly advocated for the use of PGP.
However, many articles are now appearing in the WWW
pages signaling for flaws in PGP plug-ins to Microsoft
Outlook / Outlook Express. It's highly important to
make search for available patches in order to stemming
out these flaws.
All security tools reported in links above mentioned
and plenty of others available on the Net are either
about CRYPTOGRAPHY (files or emails are encrypted
before dispatch over the Net) or STEGANOGRAPHY
(files or emails are hide in another file, which is
dispatched over the Net).
ENCRYPTED files are spotted when traveling into the
Net's circuit. The gibberish composition of the encrypted
"text" makes the spotting easy. Your Internet
Service Provider knows when you are receiving encrypted
mails or attached files. Big Brother also, who has dedicated
software like CARNIVORE, which performs the spotting
very fast - even if the deciphering may not be so easy
depending on the quality and efficiency of the used
encryption package. In the contrary STEGANOGRAPHED files
may travel unnoticed. They are masked, hid and inserted
inside another normal looking file - text, image, sound
files. Etc.
However,
people who are not fully security conscious do send
their encrypted or steganographed files through open
Public Networking Computing Channels, which make
the spotting, detection and (maybe) deciphering of said
files an easy job for malicious onlookers and eavesdroppers.

YOU NEED A VIRTUAL NETWORKING COMPUTING
- VNC - IF YOUR FILES ARE SENSIBLE STUFFS
There are a lot of snake oil security tools around,
which just give you a false feeling of security and
confidentiality. Therefore, the secure transfer
of your encrypted or steganographed files or emails
over Public Networking Computing Channels depends on
the surety and efficiency that your security
tool really provides. When you use bogus security tools,
and transfer through Public Networking Computing Channels
you just play into the hands of resolute competitors
or in Big Brother's clutches. Even proven tools like
PGP are now, as above reported, showing leaking holes.
Hence the necessity not to use Public Networking
Computing Channels to transferring your sensible encrypted
or steganographed files over the Net.

MAKE USE OF AN EFFICIENT VIRTUAL
NETWORKING COMPUTING UTILITY
If you are dealing in a sensible business, scientific
or Information Technology area, and need full confidentiality
of exchange with your counterpart; if you do not want
to see your valuable work copied, duplicated and or
snatched away from you by avid and resolute competitors,
you will need advanced security and surety of exchanges;
either when you have text or voices exchanges over the
Net.
There is a FREE utility called PRIVARIA developed
by Ed Suominen of eepatents.com/privaria/, which
makes Virtual Networking Computing a snap! With PRIVARIA
you can perform the following:
|
1
- Remote desktop access (keyboard and mouse).
2 - Remote command shell to exchanging
files.
3 - Collaborative whiteboard sketching and
text with a remote user.

audio transmission. |
