I've downloaded the latest version of Webconverger and burned an
image. I plan to try it out today. The concept is very appealing -
running the computer with a live CD that retains no information.
That's fantastic if it would be a truly secure way to do online
banking.
Then the suspicious part of my psyche spoke up: "Suppose someone
provided a 'secure' OS that was built to transmit confidential
information?" I guess this could be done.
Seems to me that Webconverger will have to build a tremendous amount
of trust for it to succeed. I'm very comfortable with Windows and
Linux, but I certainly wouldn't know how to test it.
I guess if a major bank started handing out Webconverger CDs, that
would be the ultimate endorsement.
Best wishes,
Elliott

Unlike Windows, Webconverger is opensource and welcomes security review. The sources are available on the download page.
Do I get a free tshirt (or 60 - assuming each tshirt costs you £10
this will make up for my standard day (mates) rate - which to be fair
is over charging you as it only took 5 minutes to compromise) :)
let me know when the new version is out and ill take a gander at that
too ;)
peace!
