 It’s the classic problem of having “too many keys”. You have accounts on many different web sites. Some are small and relatively insignificant, from a security point of view, like blogs or shopping sites. Some are large and sensitive, like banking and PayPal accounts. Since unified login mechanisms like OpenID are not yet pervasive, you must remember the usernames and passwords for every single site. This is a truly daunting task.
Ideally, you would like to use passwords that are “strong” (i.e. very good, not easily guessable) and different for every site. However, how can you remember each secure and unique password without resorting to a “cheat sheet”?

 Frequently, we are asked to verify if an email that someone sent or received was encrypted using SMTP TLS while being transmitted over the Internet. For example, banks, health care organizations under HIPAA, and other security-aware institutions have a requirement that email be secured at least by TLS encryption from sender to recipient. This can and should be locked down to ensure that the email message content cannot be eavesdropped upon. This check, to see if a message was sent securely, is fairly easy to do by looking the the raw headers of the email message in question. However, it requires some knowledge and experience. It is actually easier to tell if a recipient’s server supports TLS than to tell if a particular message was securely transmitted.
To see how to analyze a message for its transmission security, we will look at an example email message sent from Gmail to LuxSci, and see that Gmail does not use TLS when sending messages, even when it can. This indicates that Gmail is probably not a service to be used when you have any kind of encryption requirements.

LuxSci’s User Application Programming Interface (API) now supports querying, import and export of calendar and tasks data for users with WebAide Enterprise Licenses. Together with the previously existing facility to query, import and export address book data via our API, programs can now be written to remotely access address book, calendar, and task information via secure SOAP-based Web Services calls.
