Aftershocks from slow faults may arrive centuries later		Fri, Nov 6 01:01 PM
I have a deep and rather personal interest in earthquake and volcano prediction. This comes from spending most of my youth within a few kilometers of an active fault line and less than 100km from a volcano that has, in the past, left a layer of ash over most of the surface of the Earth. In fact, events in just the last year (nevermind the last decade) have convinced me that accurate earthquake and volcano prediction would probably be a bigger lifesaver than any other single scientific development. So it was with interest that I read a recent Nature paper reporting that scientists might have been misinterpreting some aftershocks as earthquakes, leading them to overestimate the risk on some faults and underestimate the risk on others.

HTTPS, SSL attack vector discovered; fix is on the way		Fri, Nov 6 11:33 AM
A security flaw that has been identified in the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol could open the door for man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks against HTTPS communication. All implementations are said to be vulnerable because the flaw is in the protocol itself. Security researchers are taking steps to resolve the problem. The flaw was originally found in August by researchers Marsh Ray and Steve Dispensa from security company PhoneFactor. They chose not to widely publicize the issue and began working in secret with other security experts and industry leaders to develop solutions. The flaw became known to the public this week when Martin Rex of SAP discovered it independently and posted a disclosure to the mailing list of the Internet Engineering Task Force.		Ars Technica
