Menace in the Middle

All communication leaves the possibility for crossed wires. And
as we become more connected, there’s a chance for those with ill
intentions to steal our information and meddle in our daily
lives—with devastating results. 

Smriti Bhatt breaks down the complexity behind
machine-in-the-middle attacks. Johannes Ullrich tells us why we
shouldn’t always trust that free WiFi. And the “father of SSL”
Taher Elgamal notes that while cryptography can address the
increasingly sophisticated nature of malware, there are no safe
bets in security.

middle attacks, you can check out all our bonus material over at
