- Faster Pentium 4 desktop chips on tap - Chipmaker Intel will
bring out a new,
faster version of the Pentium 4 for desktops next week, and other PC performance
improvements are on the horizon.
- Net anti-piracy debate heads for House - The legislation would be
based on a bill
introduced last week by Sen. Ernest "Fritz" Hollings, D-S.C., which has drawn
sharp criticism from across the technology industry. That bill would force computer and
consumer-electronics companies to include anti-piracy technology in every "digital
media device."
- E2Sec encryption - unbreakable - In very simple terms, the
person at each end of a communication has an identical copy of a real or electronic
"book," in which each page holds a different randomized method of encoding and
decoding a message. The person at one end uses a page from this book to encrypt a sentence
or individual word, and the person at the other end uses their identical copy of the page
to decrypt it. Then the page (also know as a "key" because it locks and unlocks
the encryption) is destroyed by both parties, and a new one is used for the next part of a
message. The complexity of each random page in the "book" makes it nearly impossible to crack the code. And even if someone intercepts
the message, there's no pattern to it that might help them decode the entire transmission.
- Hackers make chop suey of wireless security - According to
underground culture, the staple diet of hackers is Jolt cola and Ramen noodles. But the
food could be could be picked up for free after hackers discovered a gaping security hole
in the network of noodle house Wagamama. vnunet.com today received an email from an anonymous hacker who
claimed to have gained access to the wireless network at the Wagamama branch on London's
Lexington Street, just down the road from vnunet.com's centre of operations and its
investigative news team base. The hacker told us: "It wasn't that the wireless
security was weak. It was crap. There was no security at all."
