Adding Confidentiality to Your Website
posted in web on 30 Jan. 2012
Contact forms are omnipresent. They often substitute an email message and as such it's hard to imagine a business website without it.
Being nothing more than unprotected emails, contact forms lose one important quality that would make them even more useful on a website, confidentiality. For customers there is no way to convey a message to a business owner securely by using the contact form, because eventually it'll end up as an ordinary email, unprotected.
With the Web Encryption Extension there is an alternative available now.
Revealing the Secrets of Email Encryption
posted in encryption on 19 Dec. 2011
Do you know how modern email protection works?
Not really? You are not alone.
For a simple picture of email encryption most people think of a box in which they place their message that can be locked with a single key. Once the message is in the box and the box is locked, it can safely be handed over to someone (the mailserver) taking care of the transport to the intended recipient. This simple picture is not too bad because, in a way, that's what happens. But on the other hand this picture is fundamentally misleading to understand how email encryption really works. In other words, the reality is different.

Some software has been carefully coded and has been tested thoroughly to meet certain standards of reliability and security. To make sure that these efforts are not destroyed by careless alteration of the code, Kerry Linux sometimes signs the code that is being released for use. This does not imply that you cannot distribute the code without limitations, nor does it mean that using the code is restricted to any particular purpose. Signing the code serves only one purpose, to make sure you have received the authorized version of the code, made by Kerry Linux Solution without any unauthorized changes.
Can Online Services Be Secure?

Certainly not, if you store credit card information or passwords in clear text on the servers. Recent data theft disasters have shown, that it is not enough to operate a "secure server" and leave all customer's information unencrypted on this server.
Because if you think your secure server is invincible, all your customer's data is at risk, the moment it turns out that the secure server is not as secure as you thought.
What's even worse, your customers have entrusted you with their data believing that operating a secure data center will be sufficient to protect their personal data from falling into the wrong hands. It's time to destroy this false belief.
