The C standard (ISO/IEC 9899:2011) has a sane-seeming definition of memcpy (section 7.24.2.1): The memcpy function copies n characters from the object pointed to by s2 into the object pointed to by s1. Apart from a prohibition on passing overlapping objects, I think every C programmer understands that. However, the standard also says (section 7.1.4): If an argument to a function has an invalid value (such as a value outside the domain of the function, or a pointer outside the address space of th

Two years ago I blogged about an unsettling experience I had with Apollo, a firm that had confused me as to what they were really all about. Since then, I’ve had a number of emails from people who have had similar experiences. Today, I’m reprinting (most of) the most recent one – which comments about an organisation called Apollo-Transitions. Surely, this is not the same company as the Apollo company I had encountered?

Today's workforce is increasingly distributed, increasingly mobile, and increasingly expecting telework options. This equates to more people working beyond the corporate walls and beyond the corporate IT firewall. But how can organizations offer such flexibility without losing control of their information?

Security protocols often assume an accurate, local clock (e.g. TLS, Kerberos, DNSSEC and more). It's a widely accepted assumption when designing protocols but, for a lot of people, it just isn't true. We find good evidence that at least 25% of all certificate errors in Chrome are due to a bad local clock. Even when the local clock is being synchronised, it's very likely to be using unauthenticated NTP.
