World IPv6 Launch

News

World IPv6 Launch, as it is being called, is this year’s Internet Society IPv6 initiative meant to provide more IPv6 content saturation on the Internet. Similar to World IPv6 Day last June, but with one very key difference: they will be IPv6-enabled permanently! That’s right, no more white lists, no more ipv6.www, v6.www, or other

Bottom line up front: Cisco has a broken implementation of OSPFv3 authentication. This story begins like many do with network engineers trying to do their best in implementing IPv6 after a thorough and exhaustive engineering exercise.  Cisco’s Aggregation Services Router (ASR) routing platform running IOS-XE, starting with version 3.1.0 until the most recent  3.09.02 S,

Yubikey and Windows Domain 2-Factor Authentication

Blog, Cyber Security, DoD, DoD UC APL, Enterprise Architecture, Routing and Switching

Picking up where we left off last, I was showing you the awesome usefulness, security and affordability of Yubikey (Yubico’s 2-Factor authentication token) and using it for 2-factor authentication on network devices.  Well, I’d like to go another step forward: 2-Factor authentication for Windows computers to a Windows Active Directory environment.  If your enterprise deployment

Secure and Affordable 2-factor authentication: Yubikey

Blog, Cloud Computing, Cyber Security, DoD, DoD UC APL, Enterprise Architecture, IPv6, IPv6 Security, Virtualization

In the DoD there is a strong requirement for 2-factor authentication in the network.  For systems and workstations they use a successful implementation with Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and a DoD common access card (CAC) which has a client certificate.  The user has a PIN; therefore, 2-factor.   Nothing like this exists for network devices (routers,

FIPS 140-3 is Coming: Time to Plan

Blog, Cloud Computing, Cyber Security, Enterprise Architecture, Federal Procurements

FIPS 140-1 and FIPS 140-2 had quite a bit of longevity.  However, FIPS 140-3 is almost here.  Based on previous NIST standards development processes, the 140-3 standard will most likely have a publication date of a year from now.  So sometime in February/March 2014, FIPS 140-3 will be the dominate federal crypto module certification.  Not
