We inaugurate our first Betanews podcast today with a look at two serious problems — the quandary over how publishers can make the online news business sustainable long-term, and the problem with securing the Web’s transaction layer. From the top of the cliff, to borrow an Arlo Guthrie analogy, they look like two little piles; but up close, they’re one big one: We haven’t really solved how to pay for things online, and the TLS problem is an illustration of that.
Here’s links to some of the source material referenced in the podcast:
- Rupert Murdoch’s Wall Street Journal editorial on the business of online news.
- Fee or free? Murdoch, Huffington square off over the cost of Internet news by Scott Fulton.
- Marsh Ray and Steve Dispensa’s blog entry on the TLS renegotiation problem.
- “You can relax about the SSL break, mostly,” from IBM Internet Security Systems engineer Tom Cross.
- Indiscreet tweet trips awareness of Web SSL vulnerability by Scott Fulton.
- Windows fix for TLS security bug still forthcoming, won’t be Tuesday by Scott Fulton.
