GIPS Technology to Voice-Enable iPhone Apps
 The VoiceEngine technology will help developers of iPhone applications easily add high-quality, real-time VoIP communications to a variety of application types. "The VoiceEngine takes a lot of the hard-to-manage components of VoIP processing—the transmission and unpacking and wraps it up in one easy-to-implement package for our customers," Dovid Coplon, GIPS' director of product management told Enterprise VoIPplanet. "What we're providing our customers is a series of libraries and a high-level API to access those libraries and integrate it into their application," Coplon went on. "They'll provide binary executable on the Apple Store for customers to download. We're really enablement technology, so we're providing these capabilities to our customers," he said. Coplon pointed out that the VoiceEngine will have access to two GIPS-developed codecs (define): the wideband iSAC and the narrowband, Internet-optimized iLBC codec, which is actually embedded in the iPhone firmware.

Mozilla: Security a Significant Focus
 With more than 170 million users, Mozilla has a large footprint of Web surfers using its Firefox browser. As such it's in an enviable position to help not only secure its own users but to implement best practices that make the entire Web a safer place for all. "All these different programs are designed to be open and solicit feedback and also be useful to projects beyond the Mozilla project," Window Snyder, chief security officer at Mozilla, told InternetNews.com. A training effort now in the development phase will help educate the community about secure development practices. Mozilla is also working on threat modeling for the next version of Firefox and intends to make some of that information public. The security metrics effort, announced earlier this year, is designed to figure out what matters in security and then measure and track those metrics. Snyder explained that the first step of the process, now wrapping up, is about determining what the company needs to look at in terms of security metrics. The next step is figuring how to get that information out of bugzilla and capture it on an ongoing basis. After that the challenge is to get information out and generating raw numbers. At the end the company will do analysis on that information to identify trends, correlate factors and draw conclusions. Read the rest ... | ||

VeriSign Reveals First of Its Kind Real-Time Protection Against ‘Pump and Dump’ Stock Trading Fraud
 Aimed at organizations looking to minimize the costs and negative fall-out from fraud, the VeriSign® Identity Protection (VIP) Fraud Detection Service Stock Trading Module is the first of its kind to protect traders at the transaction level, tracking behavior specific to stock trading scams. The module uses the VIP Fraud Detection Service’s self-learning behavioral engine to spot pump and dump activity by tracking and weighing multiple factors including stock risk, user behaviors, how trading compares to typical fraudulent trades, and the network effect that occurs when many users are making similar trades. The VIP Fraud Detection Service Stock Trading Module will help prevent losses attributed to stock manipulation schemes that artificially hype the price of a thinly-traded stock or penny stock. One type of scheme dupes legitimate traders into buying such a stock on rumor. Another scheme involves the takeover of user accounts and purchases penny stock in large quantities. In both cases, when the stock price rises, fraudsters quickly dump their shares, collecting gains for themselves and causing investors and brokerages to lose money. To demonstrate the losses attributed to pump and dump schemes, in June 2008, Dow Jones Newswires reported that a particular pump and dump scheme involving stock from GTX Global netted more than $31 million in profits1. And in the fall of 2007, Kiplingers.com reported that pump and dump schemes from spam campaigns alone cost investors billions of dollars a year, according to SEC estimates. Read the rest ... | ||

The Pitfalls of Open Source Litigation
 Enterprises using open source are being sued for not complying with the multitude of licenses the software comes with. The problem is that open source software developers call in code from other open source applications. "If you're using only a few open software packages, you're actually using a whole lot more applications because open software builds on things other people have done," Stormy Peters, executive director of the Gnome Foundation, a nonprofit organization that coordinates the efforts of the Gnome Project, told a presentation today on avoiding open source lawsuits. The Gnome Project is a worldwide project to create a free computing platform for public use. For example, a project using Ant, MySQL and MSQL Server Connector, Aspect and the Spring Framework would "really use over 90 different open software packages, each of which has its own license," Peters said. "The problem is that it's difficult to find out what other software open software depends on." Read the rest ... | ||

SAP, Oracle Holding Out on Ubuntu?
 Yet though Canonical is trying valiantly to show momentum in its alliances, at least two notable companies are missing from its partner lineup for Ubuntu. Neither Oracle (NASDAQ: ORCL) nor SAP (NYSE: SAP) currently support Ubuntu, and both lack immediate plans to do so. Linux competitors Red Hat (NYSE: RHT) and Novell (NASDAQ: NOVL) are both certified by Oracle and SAP, which could potentially leave Ubuntu on the outside looking in for large Linux deployments. "Those [Oracle and SAP] are the two big software opportunities that we can work on," Malcolm Yates, ISV alliance manager at Canonical, told InternetNews.com. "Both of them have reasons as to why they wouldn't necessarily want to move to Ubuntu. The old story from ISVs is 'Why would we move to another OS vendor when it might cannibalize what we have already -- we would have to retrain all of our people." Read the rest ... | ||
