I wanted to try it for a while – a crowdfunding campaign. The most important challenge for me was to write a story that would be easy to understand and sufficiently interesting for people investing in crowd funding projects.

I met Chris Wallis last week for a cuppa and to talk shop as we both have been doing start-ups for a while. He’s ahead of me and it’s incredible he pulled it off.

I recently attended a workshop about app/web product design. The presenter asked us to think of a well and badly designed app. Dash sprang to my mind as an example of the latter. While its design is an ongoing issue, it happened at least once that its server certificate expired and users couldn’t do payments.

We all have seen it – I go to visit an interesting blog, DEFCON website, or pay for your parking on the go. But I can’t – the website or web service has an expired certificate and the “damn security wouldn’t let me do it”.
Estonia Hits Gemalto Again – Insecure eID cards
When we researched impacts of the ROCA vulnerability, the Estonian government limited the impact with a cut-off date. ROCA only applied after that date. It now appears that Gemalto had another problem before that cut-off date.

Growth Of HTTPS Public Logs (CT)
As we have a database of all the issued public certificates, we started looking at some of the data. This is a quick note about the frequency of updates of certificate transparency (CT) logs.
Real-Time Certificate Info – 5,560,000,000 KeyChest Index
We have finally completed a GLOBAL certificate look-up table for real-time notifications in our re-designed KeyChest service. KeyChest has been using an external service to check for new certificates. This has become unsustainable due to the number of users and certificates we monitor.

Multiparty Encryption – Our Talk at DefCon 25 – August 2017
I just found a video of our presentation at DefCon last year, which I haven’t watched since. The talk included a live demonstration connecting to a bank of smart-cards in Cambridge, UK. Organizers warned us not to do it as the network was pretty locked-down and a lot of …. interesting traffic was flowing around.
