Site security goes beyond the server... by Scott Wolpow
Site security goes beyond the server. What else impacts your site? by Scott Wolpow
Today your site must be https compliant , which requires a certificate. There are many options, some free, some costly. We will review some of these, the ease of use and for the uninitiated how to install them.
A damaging issue to your domain is SPAM. Google penalizes you on not taking preventive measures. Besides securing a server, domain records must be properly configured. The mysteries of SPF, DKIM and DMARC will be covered.

Blockchain Applications and the Drupal Ethereum Module
Beyond the Bubble – Blockchain Applications and the Drupal Ethereum Module by Thorsten Krug
Bitcoin and a countless number of other cryptocurrencies have gained a lot of mainstream attraction due to their immense increase in value. Its underlying blockchain technology, with its ability to create global p2p consensus, is being explored as a means to change the way we use the internet in many ways, because it adds decentralized trust, economic incentives and tamper-proof history.
Ethereum is one open source blockchain platform that is programmable via smart contracts. Integration with Drupal would allow organizations to integrate Ethereum into their user registry workflows and begin to explore blockchain's decentralization benefits and some of its interesting use cases.
We will also look at the semi-decentralized architecture of the open source Drupal Ethereum module, and understand the basics of the underlying PHP Ethereum library.
