Password Leaks

Comment posted Jun 13, 2012 5:37 pm PDT — by Tom Cross
I want to play devils advocate to one of the points you made in this post. What is theoretically possible for the attacker is not always what is readily practical, and things that are easy to do tend to happen…

Answers from Vint Cerf: The Road Ahead for Top-Level Domains

Comment posted Mar 15, 2006 12:24 am PST — by Tom Cross
I thank Vint Cerf for taking the time to answer our questions, and I appreciate the fact that he chose to answer a couple of mine. However, I'm not sure that the answers here have laid all of my concerns…

Ask Vint Cerf: The Road Ahead for Top-Level Domains

Comment posted Jan 17, 2006 4:55 am PST — by Tom Cross
1. Years ago it was often argued that consumers in the United States were confused by domain names in TLDs other then .com… Has the popularity of search engines, and particularly search bars in web browsers, changed playing field in…

The "Parked Domain Monetization" Business

Comment posted Dec 16, 2005 6:09 am PST — by Tom Cross
Wow, certainly some vested interests commenting here. The "monetization" scam has reached a point where it is exceedingly difficult to come up with a name for any new project or company which needs to use the Internet. That is, unless…

Lawsuits Filed Against ICANN-VeriSign Settlement

Comment posted Nov 29, 2005 7:30 pm PST — by Tom Cross
Forgive me if I'm too cynical here but there are an aweful lot of people involved with DNS who mostly see it as something they can leverage for profit or political power. Could this group be any different? Lets see……

Whois Privacy vs. Anonymity

Comment posted Mar 29, 2005 8:32 pm PST — by Tom Cross

What law are you referring to? FOISA was debated last year but Thomas does not seem to indicate that it passed… This is the first I've heard…

The Accountable Net: Who Should Be Accountable?

Comment posted Dec 06, 2004 8:16 pm PST — by Tom Cross
Esther, Thank you for that clarification. I agree that we ought to have more TLDs, and not just for policy based communities like .safe, but also for identity communities like .geek… With respect to third party seals, I agree that…

Obviously reputation systems need to exist on the Internet. The question at hand is whether those reputations systems ought to be tied into the domain name system. This article does a good job of defending the former point but not…

Recent WHOIS Report Overlooking Fundamental Issue?

Comment posted Jun 16, 2004 9:38 pm PDT — by Tom Cross
This whole discussion seems to stem from an attempt by various people to turn whois into something that it is not. Presently whois is a convenient way to publish contact information for a domain. This information needs to be publically…
