It discusses JavaScript's language-related problems for cryptographic code, limitations in proposed workarounds, and risks in using browser-side encryption to avoid PCI audit scope or reduce backend encryption. ### Source excerpt Thai Duong wrote a great post outlining why he likes JavaScript crypto, although it's not as strong a defense as you might guess from the title. While he makes some fair points of some limited applications of JavaScript, his post is actually a great argument against those pushing web page JS crypto. First, he starts off with ...

It also discusses security and privacy concerns, including hashed account information and Mint.com's stated promise not to sell user information. ### Source excerpt This week I want to talk about one of the hands-down best sites on the internet. Mint.com, in case you haven't heard about Mint yet, it's like Quicken or Microsoft Money just online. You create an account on the website, login, add your account information. From there mint connects to each of your accounts, pulls down your transaction history, automatically categorizes your spending into categories, and then will send you alerts for budgets or other settings via text or email. Oh, and best of all since it knows where you're spending your money, it tells you how you can save. So since mint sounds great and wonderful, and it indeed is, I'm going to jump straight in and start addressing issues people may already have about this kind of site. The first is security, why would I give all of my account information away to a single place so someone could walk in and take every penny I have? Well first account information is hashed, it's not just sitting in some text file on some desktop, its quite secure. Next, well mint gives you warnings right? So if someone goes and buys a car with you're credit card you'll get a text message about it. Now I may be missing something, but my bank has never offered me that kind of service. Oh and best of all, just because you put your account information, you still have the normal security backing of your bank and liability. Worried about a company having so much information on you? What if I told you in a matter of minutes if I know you're name I could likely have your past 3 residences, phone numbers, and other information. Or for that matter if you're concerned with a company having that information, do you pay cash for everything. Because if you don't the credit card companies have just as much information, and they and other companies often sell this information. Mint.com promises not to do such. So if your argument is that you don't want people to know that much information about you, its a very valid one, but hypocritical if you don ## Javascript credit card generator fix DevFeed: [Javascript credit card generator fix]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Graham King Published: 2006-03-08T20:40:30Z Content type: release Language: en Sources: [Graham King]() Topics: [JavaScript](), [Internet Explorer](), [Firefox]() Tags: [credit-card](), [generator](), [javascript]() ### AI overview A mistake in a JavaScript credit card generator that prevented it from working in Internet Explorer and Opera was fixed.

Usefull for testing e-commerce sites (because they should get past any pre-validation you do, and be declined at the card processor or bank stage). In testing situations any expiry date within the next 3 years should work Feedback forces me to clarify this: These are NOT valid credit card numbers. You can't buy anything with these. They are random numbers that happen to conform to the MOD 10 algorithm. ## Credit card generator DevFeed: [Credit card generator]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Graham King Published: 2005-10-23T13:43:17Z Content type: tutorial Language: en Sources: [Graham King]() Topics: [Testing]() Tags: [credit-card](), [download](), [generator](), [graham-king](), [payment](), [testing](), [zip]() ### AI overview The article presents an online generator and programs in Python, Java, C#, PHP, and JavaScript that produce valid MOD 10 credit card numbers for testing payment systems.
