NISR-AntiBruteForce.pdf |
Description:
|
Authentication processes in web-based applications are frequently vulnerable to automated brute force guessing attacks. Whilst commonly proposed solutions make use of escalating time delays and minimum lockout threshold strategies, these tend to prove ineffectual in real attacks and may actually promote additional attack vectors. Resource metering through client-side computationally intensive "electronic payments" can provide an alternative strategy in defending against brute force guessing attacks. This whitepaper discusses how such a solution works and the security advantages it can bring.

SecurityIPTelephonyNetworks.pdf |
Description:
|
IP Telephony based networks, which might be a core part of our Telephony infrastructure in the near future, introduce caveats and security concerns which traditional telephony based networks do not have to deal with, have long forgotten about, or have learned to cope with. The security risk is usually overshadowed by the technological hype and the way IP Telephony equipment manufacturers push the technology to the masses. This paper highlights the different security risk factors with IP Telephony based networks.
