Guardent, SafeNet respond to WLAN security hole. IDG Aug 20 2001 3:55AM ET
Guardent will announce this week its 802.11 Wireless Security Assessment service, a testing system that involves mimicking attacks on the access points in customers’ WLANs to find potential cracks and make recommendations, said Jamie Fullerton, senior research scientist at Waltham, Mass.-based Guardent.
Rick Geritz, president of Baltimore-based SafeNet, said customers can shore up WEP holes by implementing the IPsec standard for VPN clients in a WLAN environment. This creates a VPN for transmitting wireless encrypted packets. SafeNet has tested its current SoftRemote offering and will announce this week that SoftRemote can perform this function.

IBM develops wireless security auditor
“IBM research announced that it developed a wireless security auditor running on a Compaq iPAQ with Linux. The pictures on the IBM web page are much more revealing than the press release. Apparently the auditor can handle GPS input (correlate access points with GPS coordinates?) and associate with access points on demand.” The main product webpage has more information about the capabilities, and notes that IBM hasn’t decided yet whether to release it as a commercial product or a free tool.

Isn?t it just another form of distributed computing? In this installment of the Web services architect, Dan Gisolfi offers a brief overview of the differences between SOAP, DCOM, and CORBA and suggests a value proposition for Web services within the distributed computing realm.” [via ZopeNewbies]
