Watch Greg Young's talk "CQRS and Event Sourcing" from Code on the Beach 2014 at One Ocean Resort & Spa, Atlantic Beach, Florida. Saturday, August 9, 2014. www.codeonthebeach.com Abstract: "Looking at mature domains it is odd that almost none have a concept of current state but instead are built off a set of facts that occurred; is your bank balance a column in a table? This is not by accident and there are many benefits to having this viewpoint of a system both from a business and a technological viewpoint. In this talk we will look at what cqrs (command and query responsibility segregation) and event sourcing are."

Introduction I’ve written previously (and in-depth) on the subject of security basics, using tools such as GPG, OpenSSH, OpenSSL, and Keybase. But this time I wanted to focus in on the differences between encryption and hashing, whilst also providing a slightly more concise reference point for those already familiar with these concepts. Before we get started, let’s see what we’ll be covering: Terminology Hashing vs Encryption MAC vs HMAC Base64 Encoding Random Password Generation Hash Functions shasum hashlib cksum OpenSSH OpenSSL Generating a key pair Encrypting and Decrypting Randomness GPG Generating a key pair Automate Asymmetrical Encryption and Decryption Symmetrical Encryption and Decryption Signing keys Signing encrypted files Keybase Terminology OK, so using the correct terminology is essential and helps us to be explicit and clear with what we really mean.

The OWASP Top 10 is the reference standard for the most critical web application security risks. Adopting the OWASP Top 10 is perhaps the most effective first step towards changing your software development culture focused on producing secure code.

Jim Gray once told me that he had heard two different opinions of this paper: that it’s trivial and that it’s brilliant. I can’t argue with the former, and I am disinclined to argue with the latter. The origin of this paper was the note The Maintenance of Duplicate Databases by Paul Johnson and Bob […]

Ulrich Drepper recently approached us asking if we would be interested in publishing a lengthy document he had written on how memory and software interact. We did not have to look at the text for long to realize that it would be of interest to many LWN readers. Memory usage is often the determining factor in how software performs, but good information on how to avoid memory bottlenecks is hard to find. This series of articles should change that situation. Click below (subscribers only) for the first installment.
