Message-ID: Hi all, I am hoping one of you can help me remember the name of a company that gave a talk long ago on the concept of creating a minimal instance of an application by tracing it's structure from the kernel to the file system. The resulting linux image could run nothing but that application with minimal required kernel, memory, libraries and storage. Later they were acquired and never heard from again. It may have had 'free' or 'scale' in its name at the time, but I am not certain. Can anyone help me recall? -- Rob about.me/vRobM [image: Rob Markovi? on about.me] From rob.markovic at gmail.com Tue Sep 1 11:08:40 2015 From: rob.markovic at gmail.com (Rob Markovic) Date: Tue, 1 Sep 2015 11:08:40 -0700 Subject: [Baylisa] Do you remember..

The details and location are below. Please rsvp on meetup.com if you can, it helps us plan for the venue and to bring the right amount of refreshments. http://www.meetup.com/BayLISA/events/221260687/ Time: Thursday, September 17, 2015 7:30pm Location: Groupon 3101 Park Blvd, Palo Alto https://www.google.com/maps/place/3101+Park+Blvd,+Palo +Alto,+CA+94306/@37.425237,-122.1364917,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x808fbaf13d70d90f:0x996cb2c9a14ad835 *Data At Rest Encryption * High profile security breeches have been making the news on a regular basis. A few of the most recent headlines include the U.S. Government Office of Personnel Management, Home Depot, Target, and Sony. Millions of records containing credit and debit card numbers, Personally Identifiable Information (PII), and intellectual property have been stolen. The consequences of these security breaches are significant in terms of actual and potential financial losses, and placement of individuals at risk of identity theft. This presentation focuses on Data At Rest Encryption (DARE) and which is one element of an overall security solution. The reason for the focus on Data At Rest Encryption is that it has been our experience that there are points of confusion regarding why and how to deploy Data At Rest Encryption. In addition, data encryption would have mitigated the damage caused by these breeches. The key take always are as follows: 1. Key use cases for Data at Rest Encryption 2. Basic high end data center security procedures 3. Alignment value of the data, threat, and level of security Speakers: Ken Ow-Wing and Thomas Eckenrode *Bio of Ken Ow-Wing* Ken Ow-wing is a former Sun/Oracle Enterprise Storage and Server Product Line Manager with updated experience in Flash Memory Arrays, Cloud, and Virtualization. Starting his career with NCR Financial Systems Division and large $100 Billion + banks, Ken has always considered security throughout his career. While at Sun/Oracle, Ken was a principal in the Sun/HDS Tier 1 Enterprise Storage program and delivered briefings to high end commercial data centers, foreign and domestic militaries, national intelligence, and law enforcement. While product line manager for Sun Enterprise 10000 (aka Starfire) Ken worked on a multi-level secure, compartmentalized systems. *Bio of Thomas Eckenrode* Thomas Eckenrode is an ASIC/FPGA design engineer with Over 20 years of experience in designing, architecting and managing complex micro-processor and processor system designs. The last 10 years Tom has been involved in developing Anti-Tamper and secure processing strategy and techniques for Lockheed, BAE and FLASH vendors. Tom has implanted all the AES256 modes of encryption including elliptical, SHA-256/512 hashing algorithms and DSA signature algorithms in hardware. Tom also has experience in key management, authentication, and role separation techniques. Our meetings are scheduled for 7:30pm on the third Thursday of each month. BayLISA includes system and network administrators across a range of skill levels. BayLISA meets to discuss topics of interest to system administrators and managers. The meetings are free and open to the public. We always welcome presentation topics and volunteer speakers.

Message-ID: <20150921170454.GE1344@albert.catwhisker.org> A fairly quick Google search on the word "DD4BC" turns up much of the material I was reading in an internal communication at work; much of the content looks as if it may be quite interesting to folks involved in running/administering Internet-visible services.
