Israel – a license from the Director-General of the Ministry of Defense is required.Hungary – an International Import Certificate is required.China – a permit issued by the Beijing Office of State Encryption Administrative Bureau is required.The destinations which some of you may go to, which do require care, are: You can find a list of the “difficult” destinations at I had a conversation about this last week with senior folks in IS. The university is not aware of any staff being affected by this as yet, but it is best to be aware of the possibilities. Thus the sensible approach is to *not* bring your laptop to one of these countries, but to bring a spare system which is unencrypted but contains nothing but the bare essentials for your trip. While unlikely, it’s possible that a border guard could insist on the machine being decrypted, and it could be seized. While most jurisdictions permit the personal use of encryption, some forbid it without explicit permission. If, however, you go travelling then suddenly you have a dangerous item under your control. Why should you care? Well, if you use a laptop for QUB work, you should be encrypting its storage to protect any sensitive content on it – and given that ‘sensitive’ is a loose term it’s best to encrypt under all circumstances. Thus those little equations are governed by the same laws as exports of fighter jets, etc. It’s a little known fact (amongst normal people) that encryption algorithms are considered to be munitions in law.

Lest Windows users start to feel smug, it turns out that the EMET hardening toolkit on Windows can be bypassed, and Microsoft also rolled out a patch for flaws in Windows Update which has to be applied outside of Windows Update, so probably most people will never even hear about it…įinally, there are urgent updates for Flash (what else is new?) which once more illustrates the importance of limiting your Flash use as much as possible though the use of Click-to-run extensions, even if you only have Flash via Google Chrome. I’m reminded of the quip about thermodynamics – you can’t win you can’t break even you can’t even quit the game. One assumes there will be another iOS patch very soon. So far this is a proof of concept only – there’s no evidence this is being exploited in the wild, but the PoC app did get published in the App Store, so malicious apps may already be out there. Now there’s evidence of a flaw in iOS7 which allows a malicious app to monitor keystrokes.

Anyway, if you’re still using Snow Leopard on a machine which you can update to Mavericks (or Mountain Lion) you should do so if the Mac won’t support Lion and later then I’m afraid it’s time for a new Mac, right now.Īnyway, after all this patching you might assume that you’re safe. There are also updates for Safari to address various security bugs, but notably there is nothing for OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), apparently confirming earlier suspicions that Apple no longer supports 10.6 a definitive statement would be useful but clearly isn’t going to happen. Of course, as soon as I finish rolling Mavericks out to a number of people Apple issues the long-awaited security patch… Thanks guys. The ongoing lack of fixes for these bugs is something I wrote about before and was what led me (and others) to assume that the Lions had been abandoned in favour of Mavericks. Interestingly Apple also released updates for Lion (10.7) and Mountain Lion (10.8) to address the SSL issue and other bugs which had already been fixed in Mavericks. Nonetheless Mavericks users should update as soon as possible (after making proper backups). Today (Tuesday) Apple released OS X Mavericks 10.9.2, which includes fixes for the problem along with a lot of other issues – while it’s good to have the fix, it’s unfortunate that it’s rolled in with the general system update. Patches were released last week for iOS6 and iOS7, though the iOS6 update only worked on devices which were not capable of running iOS7 – this was enough to make me update my iPhone and iPad to iOS7, which I had resisted on grounds of taste to this point ( aside – iOS7 ain’t so bad after all) The flaw affected iOS6, iOS7, and OS X 10.9 Mavericks third party testing suggested OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion and earlier OS X releases were fine. At the end of last week a disturbing security issue was acknowledged in iOS and OS X Mavericks – the effect was that SSL certificates were not properly authenticated, so people were vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks.
