CRYPTOCARD’s Authentication Protects Everything:
Cloud & web apps: Cloud and web applications are protected via the use of the industry standard SAML, by using one of CRYPTOCARD’s authentication APIs, or by the use of CRYPTOCARD’s web agents. Alternatively there are many plug-ins available for web servers that allow interaction via the industry standard RADIUS protocol.
Network access devices: Network access devices such as VPNs and firewalls normally communicate with BLACKSHIELD using the industry standard RADIUS protocol. This includes most devices from Cisco, Checkpoint, Juniper, Sonicwall, Fortinet and Watchguard for example, as well as Microsoft’s firewall and VPN offerings. Some devices such as older versions of Citrix Gateways that do not support RADIUS fully can be protected by installing a CRYPTOCARD agent on the device. Configuration can be completed in a matter of minutes, after which BLACKSHIELD protected users can authenticate.
Windows & Unix: Unix systems and applications that support PAM can also authenticate against BLACKSHIELD. Any application that is “PAM aware” can use PAM’s support for RADIUS to authenticate against BLACKSHIELD.
Use of a CRYPTOCARD agent protects Microsoft Windows desktops, domains, remote desktop services and terminal servers. The agent can also allow offline authentication, for example for use with laptops where they are not connected to the corporate network.
RADIUS: If you are using RADIUS for communication between a protected device or application and BLACKSHIELD it is necessary to install a CRYPTOCARD agent on your RADIUS server.

For the small businesses consumerization of enterprise technologies is still a dream. However,there are some new technologies (like ontology, semantics, AI, cloud computing) that can make this a possibility in the next 2-3 years
Broadband service providers are gearing up to provide basic business software as a value added service, but they need to find the right architecture and delivery mechanism to create differentiation and customer value
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
