DOT fines would-be start-up PEOPLExpress

Start-up carrier PEOPLExpress has received a $10,000 fine from the Department of Transportation. That comes even as the airline's application to be certified as an air carrier is still pending.

Travel Weekly reports the DOT dinged the company because it "violated a ban on premature advertising by soliciting memberships for its 'Club Travelati. ' "

According to a DOT filing on penalty, PEOPLExpress did not comply with regulations "prohibiting an applicant for new or amended authority from advertising the air transportation covered by its application until the application has been approved by the Department."

As part of its advertising, PEOPLExpress sold "more than" 130 Club Travelati memberships before suspending sales on March 27, according to Travel Weekly.

The DOT noted in its filing that PEOPLExpress' prospective Club Travelati members were promised, "among other things, the opportunity to receive after scheduled service began 'ULTRA-LOW discount offers' and discount certificates to be used towards their first 'PEOPLExpres ticket for any scheduled flight or fare.' "

PEOPLExpress felt it did not violate regulations since it stated any discounts would be future benefits and would not become active until the airline received all needed regulatory approvals.

The DOT ruled against the airline.

WAVY TV of Virginia reports "PEOPLExpress settled this matter without admitting violations, in order to avoid litigation, and agreed to immediately eliminate all web content related to the Club."

In the filing, PEOPLExpress is said to have agreed to the settlement also in the hopes of putting "this issue behind it to avoid any delay to the consideration of its pending application for certificate authority before the Department."

Internet safe spot planned at ".secure" domain

Internet security specialists have applied for a ".secure" domain that they plan to turn into an online safe zone where bad guys aren't allowed.

San Francisco-based Artemis was awaiting word Friday from the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) on whether it was approved to host websites with ".secure" addresses.

"We are creating a safe neighborhood where you know people follow the rules and you can rely on them to do things securely," Artemis chief technical officer Alex Stamos told AFP.

"There is not going to be typo squatting or malware... We are going to make it really air tight so even if you were in Syria the Syrian government couldn't hijack you."

Commonly available, but typically unused, technology tools for thwarting online hackers, viruses, snoops, spies and scammers will be mandatory at websites with .secure addresses.

"The idea is to make it effortlessly secure for individuals," Stamos said.

"In the end, the actual technical security tactics are things (websites) should be doing anyway. We are just making it a requirement."

Plans for .secure were part of an Internet domain name "revolution" that remained on hold due to a flaw that let some aspiring applicants peek at unauthorized information at the ICANN registration website.

ICANN intends to resume taking applications on May 22 from those interested in running new generic top-level domains (gTLDs) online, with the window staying open for about five days.

ICANN said that it has so far received 2,091 applications from 1,268 organizations, some of which are vying for the same word as the end to a domain name.

Startup proposes a safer Internet locale via a '.secure' domain

Security researcher envisions a top-level domain designed with security in mind for safer Web browsing.

Researchers behind Artemis are working on creating a safer place on the Internet.

A security startup called Artemis Internet has proposed a new ".secure" top-level domain that would require Web sites using the domain to maintain stringent security practices.

The goal is to offer a place on the Web where sites have higher security standards and Web surfers can have more faith that their data and communications will stay out of the hands of malicious hackers and criminals.

Stamos also is working on new Internet domain standards, dubbed the Domain Policy Framework, designed to bring advanced security features to browsers and Web communications and which can be used by any top-level domain.

The .Secure registry will require registrants to submit identity documentation and will take steps to verify identities. Registrants will have to agree to a code of conduct and meet strict security standards, including using beefed up authentication and encryption with Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC) and Transport Layer Security for all HTTP sessions and between e-mail servers. The .Secure registry will also scan sites to see if they are hosting malware or phishing attacks.

"There will be sites that get hacked in .secure and we'll have to deal with that," Stamos said. "But when that happens it won't be because of something simple.... If you have a SQL injection vulnerability on your front page we'll give you a reasonable timeframe to remove it or your site will disappear."

"Man-in-the-middle attacks will be very difficult even if a stolen certificate is used. A limited number of Certificate Authorities will be allowed to create .Secure certificates," he said. Meanwhile, "there will be no typo squatting, nobody pretending to be who they aren't."

"As bad as Certificate Authorities are, DNS-based security mechanisms like DANE and DNSSEC are worse," he wrote in an e-mail. "They are the ultimate expression of a lack of agility. If we sign up to trust the organizations who manage that infrastructure, we're signing up to trust them forever; without any opportunity to change our minds in the future, and without any incentives for them to continue warranting our trust."

To put the power into the hands of Web surfers themselves, Marlinspike has developed a Firefox plug-in called Convergence that is designed to allow people to browse safely.
