Borderless Internet law is setting the stage for global conflict.
If you live in the United States, it's easy
to forget -- but reckless to ignore -- that
countries all over the world are struggling
with the same Internet-related legal quandaries
as American courts. Internet companies --
global by nature -- need to be vigilant about
how their actions are perceived internationally
and prepared to alter their practices should
those perceptions prove negative (or even
illegal). What makes this even trickier is
that while many cases of international conflict
explicitly involve businesses, others do not,
and either scenario has the potential to set
important, far-reaching precedents.

Security scholarship program moving ahead
The federal Scholarship for Service program,
an initiative started by the Clinton
administration to get new information
security professionals to work for the
government in return for scholarships,
is on schedule at the National Science
Foundation. NSF heads up the first step
of the SFS program, awarding grants to
colleges and universities that teach
information security students. The proposals
from the institutions were due to NSF Jan. 24,
and now the agency has brought in a panel to
review the proposals; the grants should be
awarded by June, officials said.

OpenPGP set to become global standard
Godfather of encryption and creator of PGP,
Phil Zimmermann, has moved over to security
company Hush Communications, in a bid to set
a global standard for encryption in digital
communication and strike a killer blow for
privacy on the web. Zimmermann, formerly a
senior fellow at Network Associates, said he
plans to move Hush's free web based secure
email service, Hushmail, over from Blowfish
to OpenPGP-based encryption.

Easy Eavesdropping on Wireless Networks
A new report details serious security flaws in
these increasingly popular setups. Here's what
you can do to enhance your safety. Wireless
networks have been enjoying great success in
offices, schools, and homes. But the process of
going wireless hit a speed bump in recent days
when a report by three security researchers
found a serious flaw in the technology used to
keep over-the-air data transmissions safe from
curious ears.
