Re: How to prevent zero day attacks

The following link provide a more rigorous framework for
conceptualizing security problems:

Language Theoretic Security:
http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~sergey/langsec/

Lesson 1: Do not provide a user with more computing power than
absolutely necessary.
Lesson 2: Security must be considered *before* implementation, not
after.  It needs to be part of the design process.
Lesson 3: Formally verify, if necessary, essential security
properties, particularly protocols and input parsers.

Most of this needs to be done by the developers and system analysts
before problems arise.

Securing Apache Web Server with thawte Digital Certificate
In this guide we examine the importance of Apache-SSL and who needs an SSL certificate.  We look at how SSL works, how 
it benefits your company and how your customers can tell if a site is secure. You will find out how to test, purchase, 
install and use a thawte Digital Certificate on your Apache web server. Throughout, best practices for set-up are 
highlighted to help you ensure efficient ongoing management of your encryption keys and digital certificates.
