About Security

In Domain Spaces ... See the TLS Autonomy Notice for the basic policy which is realized operationally in domain spaces. A fundamental adjust is required to use a name space other than what you from the powers that be. It can be easy or hard depending on your individual disposition. We try to make it easy but without shitting you about the realities. In Communications ... You are probably already familiar by now with the two common means of authenication and privacy over the internet: logging in with a password and user id known only to you and the party you are communicating with and the use of secure connections signaled usually by indicators on the location bar of your browser. Additional measures² may in the future be required for some uses. In any case, the URI should show https not http though some browsers may have scary indicators or intermediate pages to accompany their scary indicators. The important distinction is between https amd http indicating an encrypted connection. The encryption is the same, it is simply that the browser doesn't trust the certificate, which it usually will permit once you OK the exception. In Identity Authentication ... The encryption mechanisms above are augmented by bank verification. All entitled users are either identified real persons or group or corporate constructs who are mapped to real persons by virtue of their traceability thru the international financial system. pgp.mit.edu There are two keys there under "Juan Daugherty" on 2011-08-12, both me but I don't remember the secret for the older one.

For transparent and easiest use of our secure server you must install the certificate sent when you register. This also provides the highest level of security for your activities here. Without this certificate installed, you will get a scary notice from your browser about our claiming to be us with which you may also be familiar.

If you do not use the certificate, you will have to log or sign in to a log-in point. Our domain management software will then manage your log-ins to integral spaces but you may continue to get notifications from your browser if the certificate is not installed. Note that you install certificates in browsers, not operating systems, and not all browsers have faciliities to accept certificates.

In addition to above, and for the same reasons, use of an authentication agent (pageant, ssh-agent).
