US Cyber Command Discloses Offensive Cyberwarfare Capabilities
Mar 14th 2013, 23:10

MojoKid writes "Earlier this week, the newly minted head of the United States' Cyber Command team and NSA head General Keith Alexander told assembled lawmakers that the US has created an offensive cyberwarfare division designed to do far more than protect US assets from foreign attacks. This is a major change in policy from previous public statements — in the past, the US has publicly focused on defensive actions and homegrown security improvements. General Alexander told the House Armed Services Committee that 'This is an offensive team that the Defense Department would use to defend the nation if it were attacked in cyberspace. Thirteen of the teams that we're creating are for that mission alone.' This is an interesting shift in US doctrine and begs questions like: What's proportional response to China probing at utility companies? Who ought to be blamed for Red October? What's the equivalent of a warning shot in cyberspace? When we detect foreign governments probing at virtual borders, who handles the diplomatic fallout as opposed to the silent retribution?"

Jacob Appelbaum on How OSS Improves Cryptography
Mar 14th 2013, 22:24

destinyland writes "Jacob Appelbaum, the Tor Project's main advocate, argues that Open Source software is necessary 'to both verify and improve' available cryptography. (Adding 'We also need that to ensure that everyone has a reasonable baseline — which is part of the cypherpunk ethos.') In this new interview, he's critical of a general public silence over government encroachments on privacy, but points to the current impact of the Tor network now as something that 'runs, is open and is supported by a large community spread across all walks of life.' And he ultimately identifies Tor as 'part of an ecosystem of software that helps people regain and reclaim their autonomy,' saying the distributed anonymous network 'helps to enable people to have agency of all kinds; it helps others to help each other and it helps you to help yourself.'"

Too Much Gold Delays World's Fastest Supercomputer
Mar 14th 2013, 21:42

Nerval's Lobster writes "The fastest supercomputer in the world, Oak Ridge National Laboratory's 'Titan,' has been delayed because an excess of gold on its motherboard connectors has prevented it from working properly. Titan was originally turned on last October and climbed to the top of the Top500 list of the fastest supercomputers shortly thereafter. Problems with Titan were first discovered in February, when the supercomputer just missed its stability requirement. At that time, the problems with the connectors were isolated as the culprit, and ORNL decided to take some of Titan's 200 cabinets offline and ship their motherboards back to the manufacturer, Cray, for repairs. The connectors affected the ability of the GPUs in the system to talk to the main processors. Oak Ridge Today's John Huotari noted the problem was due to too much gold mixed in with the solder.

The Internet's Bad Neighborhoods
Mar 14th 2013, 21:00

An anonymous reader writes "Of the 42,000 Internet Service Providers (ISPs) surveyed, just 20 were found to be responsible for nearly half of all the spamming IP addresses — and some ISPs have more than 60% of compromised hosts, mostly in Asia. Phishing Bad Neighborhoods, on the other hand, are mostly in the US. Also, there is a silent ticking 'spam' bomb in BRIC countries: if India would have the same Internet penetration rate as the United States while keeping its current ratio of malicious IP addresses, we would observe 200% more spamming IP addresses worldwide. These are just few of the striking results of an extensive study from the University of Twente, in The Netherlands, which scrutinizes the Internet Bad Neighborhoods to develop next-generation algorithms and solutions to better secure networks."

Best Practices And Examples: Designing A Better Mobile Checkout Process
Mar 14th 2013, 12:46


  

A record number of shoppers are turning to their smartphones to research potential purchases. Meanwhile, the bigger question — are those same users willing to complete the purchases on their mobile device? — is quickly being answered. The US, for example, saw an 81% spike in mobile e-commerce (m-commerce) sales in 2012, comprising a $25 billion market.

And it's not just apps. By a landslide, users prefer mobile websites to apps for shopping. For every shopping activity, including researching products and prices, reviewing products, participating in promotions, and purchasing, most respondents (61 to 81%) preferred using a browser to a native app.

In the days and months to come, it will become increasingly important for retailers to fuel this growth by creating seamless, user-friendly checkout processes that inspire trust and that make full use of all of the advantages the medium has to offer.

Let's dive into some examples of mobile checkout processes and see what we can learn.

Let's dive into some examples of mobile checkout processes.

1. Include Only Vital Fields

We've all answered those dreaded questions, such as "How did you hear about us?" While they may serve the vendor, they do nothing for the buyer, who is offering up their hard-earned cash and deserves to call the shots here.

While these questions are annoying on a desktop, they can be fatal in mobile. Take these two examples:

Mobile checkout processes compared.

On the left, the responsive mobile checkout process by Moby succeeds by reducing the fields to the bare essentials, condensing the entire process into one cohesive page.

On the right, Kay Jewelers shows how a simple experience can quickly become extraordinarily cumbersome. Three pages in total display unnecessary fields such as "Evening phone" and "Mobile phone," while breaking fields apart — the "Address" field is given three imposing lines (instead of just one for a ZIP code), and the user is required to retype their email address.

2. Allow Checkout As A Guest

Providing an option to check out as a guest should be standard practice across media (although 24% of e-commerce websites don't), and especially on mobile. A user is much less likely to complete an order if they have to go through the process of creating an account and confirming it. The statistics back this up, sometimes shockingly so. One major retailer reportedly saw a $300 million leap in sales by removing the "Register" button!

Burton's checkout process.
Burton starts its checkout process by hedging its bet, giving the user all three options: "Sign in," "Create an account" or "Checkout as a guest." Larger view.

3. Leverage Mobile UI Elements

Fandango has a fluid mobile checkout experience. One big reason why is that it leverages the advantages of the medium, often relying on touch controls, which a user is much more likely to use than typing.

Fandango's desktop UI versus mobile UI.
Fandango's desktop UI versus mobile UI. Larger view.

In Fandango's desktop UI (left), a user is prompted to select quantities using a typical drop-down menu. In the mobile UI (right), they are prompted to update quantities using increment selectors (with an option to type as well), which is speedier in that medium.

4. Remove Distractions, Not Content

Once a user is in the checkout process, they have obviously expressed a willingness to buy. Put another way, the website has switched from being a salesperson to being an order fulfillment center. With that in mind, remove anything that draws their attention anywhere other than the task at hand.

Conversions can rise in enclosed checkouts, a tactic you may have noticed when purchasing from Amazon. With this technique, the vendor removes the standard header, including the menu links and search bar, which could drive the user elsewhere. A checkout page can be made especially simple on mobile.

Dillard's checkout process.
Once a user is in Dillard's checkout process, their only escape is to tap the logo in the top-left corner.

Social media links in GNC's shopping cart.
Social media links, like these in GNC's shopping cart, should have no place in the process and could drive users away. Larger view.

A content-rich checkout page might seem like a good idea, but it will distract the user from their purchasing decision.

This doesn't mean we should remove all content. Mobile engagements typically last 80% as long as desktop ones, and that number is rising. Users might still have questions about shipping guidelines, delivery, terms and conditions and more. A good experience should give them the option to find answers.

Crate & Barrel's mobile website.
On Crate & Barrel's mobile website, standard questions are showcased at the bottom of the shopping cart page, enabling the customer to get answers without leaving the checkout funnel.

5. Show Progress

A user wants to know where they are, where they are going and how much longer until they're done. Progress bars alleviate anxiety here.

Recent studies show that the majority of major e-tailers show a progress bar, although many implementations leave much to be desired.

Under Armour's mobile website.
While Under Armour's mobile website leads users through the process with a simple, sensible progress bar, it would improve by describing the steps to come.

6. Build Lightweight

Above all, time is precious. 74% of mobile visitors will leave a website if it takes longer than five seconds to load. Users have come to complete an action, and they are already convinced that it's the right thing to do, so it's best to get out of their way.

Adhere to the "Seven Guidelines for Designing High-Performance Mobile User Experiences." And use a testing tool to optimize loading times; Mobitest by Akamai is my choice.

Tom's Shoes has a quick-loading checkout page.
It's not going to win any design awards, but Tom's Shoes has a quick-loading, bare-bones checkout page that does the trick.

7. Provide Security Reassurances

One of the biggest reservations users have left about mobile e-commerce is security. To get over this hurdle, designers needn't be subtle: provide as many reassurances as possible that the experience is secure, and drive the point home. This means using iconography, SSL certificates and dedicated callouts in copy.

1-800-Flowers.com
1-800-Flowers.com actively reminds users of the security of their order using a variety of tactics.

8. Google Wallet, PayPal And Amazon Are Your Friends

Instead of forcing users to fumble through checkout forms and type their address, use a trusted service such as Google Wallet, PayPal and Amazon to get users two taps away from completing their payment. Their information will be automatically populated, and the process will be nearly complete.

Mobile e-commerce experiences on Shopify.
No-frills mobile e-commerce experiences on Shopify.

Mobile e-commerce experiences on Shopify, like this one for DODOcase, aren't visually exciting, but that's not the point. They hush any noise, while allowing users to quickly check out using trusted third-party applications.

9. Take Advantage Of Geolocation And One-Touch Calling

The Home Depot's mobile website.
The Home Depot's mobile website lets users pick up items in store and uses GPS to find the closest location and check inventory.

Use GPS information to easily point a user to a physical location, as an alternative to a Web conversion. By using a URL string like http://maps.google.com/maps?daddr=BEST+BUY&saddr=Current+Location on mobile, Google will automatically retrieve the nearest location and provide directions. Best Buy observed that 28% of users visiting its mobile platforms were using it to make an in-store purchase, making it a successful value proposition.

Also, use one-tap calling with the tel: protocol to enable users to call for support with one tap — a much easier experience than jotting down a phone number.

10. As Always, Test Across Systems And Setups

Mobile testing with the User Agent Switcher for Chrome.
Mobile testing with the User Agent Switcher for Chrome. Larger view.

Mobile testing can be difficult and time-intensive, but with the market split between an array of operating systems, prioritizing by market share and testing at multiple resolutions is important. Getting your hands on a phone for each OS is always best, but if that's not possible, you can use a browser plugin named User Agent Switcher for Firefox and Chrome. It can be an invaluable time-saver for testing, allowing you to bounce between different OS experiences on your desktop.

The other factor in the OS conversation is design. Many designers of mobile Web experiences make the mistake of borrowing interface elements from their OS of choice. For instance, a designer who uses an iOS device might adopt Apple's button styles. While this would make sense in a native app, a mobile website is a cross-browser experience, and a native aesthetic will likely turn off users of other OS' — or, even worse, might just plain look bad.

Conclusion

At long last, the promise of m-commerce is starting to be fulfilled. Never before has the gap between a good and bad mobile checkout experience affected revenue so much.

If retailers give the user a clear, focused, streamlined and lightweight path to making their purchase — while recognizing the advantages and limitations of a mobile experience outlined above — all parties will benefit.

Hak5 1404 – High Altitude Balloon Launching from Netherlands and Encrypted File Systems on Android
Mar 13th 2013, 07:01

Today on the show, Dropbox file encryption access on your Android device, a high altitude balloon lift off, all that and more this time on Hak5!

Download HD Download MP4

Cryptonite - Get Your EncFS Dropbox Data on Your Android Device

Wondering how to use EncFS on your Linux machine? Watch episode 1225 of Hak5 where we run through how to set it up, use it, and encrypt files for upload to dropbox. EncFS only had downloads for major PC operating systems, not mobile OS's.

So now there is Cryptonite, an Android app available in Google Play, brings EncFS and TrueCrypt to Android. You can browse, export and open EncFS-encrypted directories and files on your Dropbox and on your phone. TrueCrypt is only available as a command-line version at this time, but EncFS has a nice easy GUI.
It's free and open source, based on original EncFS code and is fully compatible with all EncFS features.
All devices are supported for downloading, uploading, and creating EncFS volumes on Dropbox and your phone.
The app is UNDER DEVELOPMENT. Intended for EXPERIENCED ANDROID USERS ONLY.

BUGS:
MOUNTING
Mounting doesn't work on some Android 4.2 devices.

FEATURES REQUIRING FUSE AND ROOT:
Mounting EncFS volumes requires ROOT and Kernel FUSE support (found in some CyanogenMod ROMs).
Offline access to Dropbox volumes is available with rooted phones that support FUSE. To access an encrypted Dropbox volume when you're offline, sync the encrypted volume to a local folder with one of the many apps that provide online storage synchronization (e.g. FolderSync Lite or Dropsync). Then, mount that local volume with Cryptonite.

PERMISSIONS NEEDED:
Internet permission to access Dropbox. SD card access to read and write files.
