This has been a question of mine for a long time. Why is XML security so hard? Why hasn't someone done it so that we can secure XML traffice? Well here is the answer, from the creator of cryptlib, and it makes sense to me. I sure would like to find the time to create an OPML Community Server and offer it up for consumption. Who knows, maybe I will get a block of time soon. Some contracts are coming to a close, and others are in the wings. There might be some time to get the OPML server thingy going.
I have been looking at the Mashup conference. I had no idea that there were so many API's out there that could be used to put together the informtion in different ways. There are some interesting uses of the API's and the ways that the data has been put together. I ventured forth into creating web services written in c# (.NET) this past week for a consulting gig. A very interesting experience. There are so many things you can do with web services. One thing I don't like is that the userid and the password to the database are transmitted in the clear. Since this is inside the corporate firewall, I am not too concerned, but security would definitely have to be beefed up (a.k.a. - encrypted data) for any password access to outside resources. |
