Beginning with Kubernetes Hacking into - Part 1 Introduction: Hi Readers, the world of virtualization is still in a starting stage and combined with the flavor of security, it’s a very interesting thing to learn and work with. As first part of the series we will focus on a very new concept of Virtualization which centers on Kubernetes. Let’s start from the very basics. Kubernetes is a powerful open source tool developed by Google. It helps us to utilize “micro-services” or better say “containerized” applications across distributed cluster of “nodes”. The beauty of Kubernetes lies in its highly resilient infrastructure with almost zero downtime apart from its immense deployment capabilities as well as offering a host of other features along with it. In a nutshell, the main objective of Kubernetes is to obscure the complexity of managing multiple containers by introducing REST based Web services in its backend. Kubernetes’s portability factor is another add-on. You can run i...

Security with Block Chain Technology: Part 3 Security by Design | Researching in Smart Contracts- Block Chain If you are a block chain enthusiast, user, miner or any person involved with the usage of block chain, you will know about Smart Contracts. For people who are new to it, let’s state in simple lines about Smart Contracts: What are smart contracts? Smart contracts are part of executable code that automatically runs on the block chain model to execute agreement presets between multiple parties involved in the transaction. Smart contracts allow the performance of credible transactions without third parties. These transactions are trackable and irreversible. Implementation relies on- Byzantine fault-tolerant  algorithms which allows digital security through decentralization to form smart contracts. Notable examples of implementation of smart contracts include the following: ·          Bitcoin   ·   ...
