Overview The Dallas Semiconductor iButton is one of a new breed of devices that can be used as hardware tokens in the PKI arena. This paper introduces and gives an overview to the iButton family, focusing on the hardware component, and examines potential areas that may be susceptible to attack. These areas may yield vulnerabilities or problems related to the secureness of the device. Detail is placed on the Java-powered cryptographic iButton, which plays a major role in the implementation of PKI or other solutions where security and/or encryption is needed. Simple software routines to communicate with the iButton are also presented.

Virtualisation: Architectual Considerations and other Evaluation Criteria

In the past several years, server virtualisation technology has moved quickly and firmly into the IT mainstream. Of the many approaches to system virtualisation available in the market today, VMware's hypervisor architecture has gained the greatest market acceptance. This paper examines the architectural issues, solution support, and enterprise readiness required when deploying such a virtualisation solution.
