If you like a juicy, suspenseful story that connects SSL certificates to international espionage you could read the Hugo Award winning sci fi novel Rainbow’s End…
…or you could simply follow this week’s news frenzy over a spectacular security breach at Comodo.
If you want to learn more about this week’s big SSL story, I recommend going to The Tech Herald’s excellent write-up, “Comodo certs hijacked – who or what is to blame?“.
If you want to read the most salacious article about it all – I’d recommend the BBC article, “Iran accused in ‘dire’ net security attack”. It also includes the most extreme quote of the week, “The incident got close to – but was not quite – an internet-wide security meltdown.”
If you still haven’t gotten enough, the InfoWorld article combined the best of both approaches.
Finally, if you’d like to skip all this “real news” nonsense and just go for an entertaining story, you can get your own copy of Rainbow’s End by Verner Vinge from Amazon.
Having read them all, I personally recommend Rainbow’s End.
