In the News:

  • "This is the protocol which will bring safe, trusted mashups to the enterprise.", The First Trust Infrastructure for Mashups, Dave Kearns, Network World.

  • “Some months ago I wrote that mashups are potential security nightmares. I also pointed to a couple of efforts to fix the problem. Today's news might be the most ambitious effort yet to lock down mashups.” , Make Mashups Secure, Mark Everett Hall, Computerworld.

  • "I think this will drive adoption of mashups, since one limiting factor of mashup use is the challenge associated with data protection and data control…," says Diana Kelley, a partner with consulting firm SecurityCurve. "MashSSL is a way for organizations to trust the source of exchanged data, as well as protect the data in transit. This reduces the 'scare factor' for some organizations associated with use of the technology.", Start-up Secures Mashups, Kelly Jackson Higgins, DarkReading.

  • "SafeMashups, is taking on a problem others have tried to solve using proprietary cryptography. Rather than take that approach, SafeMashups is using its MashSSL protocol—based on the time-tested cryptography of SSL— to enable applications to mutually authenticate via secure communication through the browser." Security Company leverages SSL to Protect Web Application Mashups, Brian Prince, eWeek.

  • “A new startup company, SafeMashups…is proposing a new protocol for mashups based on the already widely accepted standard of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)…In addition to Ganesan’s experience, SafeMashups has benefited from its incubation at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) Institute for Cyber Security (ICS). In other words, SafeMashups has the security pedigree to bring to market a new proposed standard…That’s good news for enterprises who want to create functionality-extending mashups in a secure fashion.”, New security standard MashSSL builds application trust, Linda Musthaler, Network World.

  • “Ganesan, a cryptography expert academically associated with the university, explains that SafeMashups is essentially a protocol for providing a level of trust in code, such as that written in Ajax, when different code from varying sources is combined on the fly over the Web in mashups.”, Two start -ups, Egress and SafeMashups, make debut today, Ellen Messmer, Network World.

  • “I see the great value MashSSL offers to the B2B market space. This sounds like a tool that is right on the spot – timing is right, technology is right, the need is here...If you are into mashups, MashSSL is a must-have!", Are you mashing things up? MashSSL to your resque!, Kai Roer, Roer.com Information Security Blog.

  • "There is no doubt that mashups will be an important construct of the next Internet......For mashups to become ubiquitous, a trust infrastructure is needed.....new company SafeMashups may have found the answer to this thorny problem....answer is brilliantly simple: reuse the existing and proven trust infrastructure of the Web......This approach allows him to layer SSL and certificates on top of the Web 2.0 protocols without requiring any change to these protocols. Brilliant!". Excerpts from the Blue Ocean blog of Nico Popp, Vice President of Innovation, VeriSign Inc. Dive into Nico's Blue Ocean at: http://blogs.verisign.com/innovation.

  • "UTSA researchers developed the technology offering to help solve the challenges of managing credentials in authenticating consumer and business-oriented Web applications.", UTSA start-up SafeMashups launches Web-based technology, San Antonio Business Journal.
