Subject: Re: https YubNub access - msg#00158

List: search.yubnub

Date: Prev Next Index Thread: Prev Next Index

hey jake,

i think my query has less to do with trust than it does with simply
providing users with the option of security.

i host the scrape command, so theoretically, i could track and trace
all the sites people are scraping. i don't do this, but it would be
nice to assure users that i'm not.

i believe https provides a secure connection between 2 machines where
all data is encrypted. (currently, there are a few commands that have
been created that employ passwords or email addresses.)

it would be cool if we had a set of yubnub security commands. not sure
if this even possible though.

RE: gmailme alias idea.

Hi Jake - Do you just want to send an email with the From set to your email address? You could probably get away with using a PHP email library and just set From to your gmail addy. -- Jon Aquino (Victoria BC Canada) http://jonathanaquino.com -----Original Message----- From: YubNub-/JYPxA39Uh5TLH3MbocFFw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:YubNub-/JYPxA39Uh5TLH3MbocFFw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of magicjj Sent: Thursday, February 16, 2006 7:11 PM To: YubNub Subject: Re: gmailme alias idea. I'm trying to find a way to use the get2post PHP script in order to make a gmail alias which you don't have to hit send after it.

RE: Adding a button to google toolbar

I didn't know about that capability. I'm using this at school, since we have IE I can't just make my address bar a yubnub bar. I think the LS and GE command lists are in an XML file...

Re: https YubNub access

I'm not expert on this man, but I'd say he's fairly respectable. The only reason he'd look at other peoples aliases would be if they specifically asked him for help. Currently (aliases) is not using a one-way encryption such as MD5, because this is impossible! It can use this for usernames and passwords, but for the commands, if it used a one-way encryption it wouldn't be able to read the command URL or return your memos to you, thus making the system not do anything. I could program it to use a backwards-compatible encryption if you'd like it to though, which would add more security to it, though would slow down everything from searching, to setting, to viewing your variables. I personally haven't used the secure hypertext transfer protocol, and to be honest I'm not sure how it works, or how it makes anything more secure. I'll have to read up on it. The only reason he'd touch the database though was if he was making changes to the application. I say you trust The Programmer though, he seems like a nice guy. =P ; ] Jake jjefferydesign.com jjefferydesign.com/aliases --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "YubNub" group.

Clearly, your server has to be able to decrypt the encrypted text in order to interpret the request and display results. There is nothing other than your word that assures users that you are not writing every request into a database. https would however provide protection from clear text data being captured in transit. They only technical means I can think of to assure users that their data is handled in a specific way on your server is to provide source to any program that operates on their data, and read access to the file system of the server so that an md5 hash of the relevant files could be verified. This becomes impractical quickly as you can probably see. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "YubNub" group.
