Re: [kictanet] [FOSSFA Members] About Heartbleed Vulnerability
by Mwendwa Kivuva 14 Apr '14

14 Apr '14

This calls for a big debate among the Open Source community and evaluation of how exposed we can be. I'm imagining how many servers will go unpatched thus exposing the data to would be hackers. It is alleged through a Bloomberg article that NSA knew about the vulnerability two years ago, but kept it secret to continue harvesting user data. http://mobile.bloomberg.com/news/2014-04-11/nsa-said-to-have-used-heartblee… This might be a wrong alarm but How safe are we as FOSS community because we heavily rely on these applications that may actually have backdoors and rootkits with the aim of taking control of our systems and spying on us.

About Heartbleed Vulnerability
by John Matogo 12 Apr '14

12 Apr '14

Dear colleagues. Some useful information you need to be aware of. <http://heartbleed.com/> <http://heartbleed.com/> http://heartbleed.com/ The Heartbleed Bug is a serious vulnerability in the popular OpenSSL cryptographic software library. This weakness allows stealing the information protected, under normal conditions, by the SSL/TLS encryption used to secure the Internet. SSL/TLS provides communication security and privacy over the Internet for applications such as web, email, instant messaging (IM) and some virtual private networks (VPNs). The Heartbleed bug allows anyone on the Internet to read the memory of the systems protected by the vulnerable versions of the OpenSSL software. This compromises the secret keys used to identify the service providers and to encrypt the traffic, the names and passwords of the users and the actual content. This allows attackers to eavesdrop on communications, steal data directly from the services and users and to impersonate services and users.

IANA FUNCTIONS: THE BASICS
by Grace Githaiga 12 Apr '14

12 Apr '14

For those who have been following the debate, this gives the basics. When you want to visit a website, you type or paste the site’s domain name into your browser, or click on an html link.That domain name is sent to a server which translates the name into a series of numbers – the Internet Protocol or IP Address - which the server uses to direct your request to the website’s physical location. This all happens in the blink of an eye.Those names and numbers are called “unique identifiers” and are aligned with a standard set of protocol parameters that ensure computers can talk to and understand each other. These are part of the IANA functions, which are managed by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers.These functions aren’t just limited to browsing the Internet - they also enable you to send an email or backup photos to the cloud, amongst other tasks. http://www.icann.org/en/about/agreements/iana/functions-basics-07apr14-en.p…

Re: [kictanet] Save the date Africa Domain Name System Forum 2014 , 7 - 9 July 2014 Abuja Nigeria
by Barrack Otieno 10 Apr '14

10 Apr '14

The 2014 Africa Domain Name System Forum will be held from 7th to 9th July 2014 at the Nicon Luxury Hotel in Abuja Nigeria. This years event will be hosted by the Nigeria Internet Registration Association (NIRA). Organized by AfTLD, the Internet Society and the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers with the support of other partners , the event seeks to build a community of practice that will strengthen the Domain Name Industry on the African Continent. According to the domain name industry brief there were 265 million domains registered globally in the third quarter of 2013. The base ccTLD registrations were 119.5 million. The largest top level domains by zone size in the third quarter of 2013 included .com, .tk, .de, .net ,.uk, .org, .cn , .info ,.ru and .nl. None of the African registries featured among the top ten. The largest ccTLD in Africa by zone size did not surpass the 1 million mark during the same period. The objective of the forum is to help the domain name industry in Africa grow at a competitive rate and ensure that the continent competes with the rest of the world. The forum will be a three day event and will bring together African registries; African ICANN accredited registrars, resellers, infrastructure service and solution providers as well as entrepreneurs interested in investing in the African Domain Name space. There will be interesting discussions highlighting opportunities in the African Domain name industry as well as networking sessions between registrars, resellers and the registries.

Matatu cashless payments to be standardised
by Dennis Kioko 04 Apr '14

04 Apr '14

The National Transport and Safety Authority is considering integrating matatu cashless payments - This is good news cause it means that irrespective of the cashless payment that a matatu takes, it can accept any other form. Also lowers the club-in effect by well established players. It would also help in instances if one player's system goes down http://www.businessdailyafrica.com/Authority-plans-common-cashless-PSV-fare… -- with Regards: blog.denniskioko.com <http://www.denniskioko.com/>

Re: [kictanet] Digital Migration Appeal Court Ruling: COFEK Response
by James Mbugua 03 Apr '14

03 Apr '14

Idiocy of the highest order. There is no win here only delay of the inevitable and stifling of innovation and investment. Multichoice is certainly a winner. -----Original Message----- From: "Consumers Federation of Kenya (COFEK)" <hotline(a)cofek.co.ke> Sent: ‎3/‎28/‎2014 6:48 PM To: "jgmbugua(a)gmail.com" <jgmbugua(a)gmail.com> Cc: "KICTAnet ICT Policy Discussions" <kictanet(a)lists.kictanet.or.ke> Subject: [kictanet] Digital Migration Appeal Court Ruling: COFEK Response Dear All, This afternoon's ruling by the Court of Appeal is certainly a major win for the consumers, operators and other stakeholders on the broadcast media. Indeed the consumer movement is emboldened and we hope other sectors shall take their lesson. It vindicates our long held view that in its' current form, the CCK (and now CAK) is not the regulator envisaged under Article 34(3) of the Constitution. We are grateful that the Media Owners Association have pushed and won the fight we began in December 2012 to make the transition to digital broadcasting fair and independent to all stakeholders. We expect that the nullified Broadcast Signal Distribution license to PANG will have immediate consequences on Star Times and that the BSD to media owners will be fast-tracked. It will be futile for the Government to appeal the ruling at the Supreme Court. In light of such embarrassment to Government, it is only fair that the ICT Secretary resigns from office and that the regulator rescinds all major decisions it has made as the effect of the ruling has the potential to reverse all decisions made by the CCK since August 27, 2010 when the current Constitution was promulgated. Thank you. Japheth Ogutu, FOR: Secretary General, The Consumers Federation of Kenya (Cofek)
