Vulnerabilities in STARTTLS implementations  08 March 2011 
Source: H Security - Posted by Alex   
Vulnerabilities in implementations of the STARTTLS protocol for establishing an encrypted TLS connection could allow commands to be injected into a connection. According to a description by the discoverer of the problem, Postfix developer Wietse Venema, the key point is that commands are injected into the connection before it has been secured/encrypted, but are only executed once the secure connection has been established.
 
Is P2P Encryption Secure? That Depends...  01 March 2011 
Source: Tech News World - Posted by Anthony Pell   
The most secure P2PE option is to replace existing payment terminals with newer hardware devices offering built-in encryption capabilities. With encryption at the read head, all mag stripe data is encrypted on the hardware terminal itself as soon as the consumer swipes his or her card. No readable data ever leaves the unit, eliminating the risk of theft as it traverses the merchant network. This strategy completely defuses the threat of online attacks.

Hacker Shows How Cloud Could Wash Out Wireless Security  12 January 2011 
Source: Tech News World - Posted by Anthony Pell   
A hacker claims he's used Amazon's cloud services to bust open SHA-1, a wireless network security standard, and he says he'll be demonstrating his process at an upcoming Black Hat get-together. Malicious hackers could quickly set up brute-force attack systems using the cloud, but critics say real-world password cracks might not come so easily.
