Ciao a tutti,

La prospettiva che i provider possano (a quando l'obbligo?) aggiornarmi _a casa mia_ il software dei miei apparecchi nella realtà post Snowden è a dir poco inquietante.

>> Following a successful public demonstration at the 88th Internet
>Engineering
>> Task Force (IETF) meeting November 2013, ISC’s Open Home Gateway
>Forum team has
>> submitted its code for package signing and validation to the OpenWrt
>project.
>> ISC is now disbanding the Open Home Gateway Forum since this code has
>been
>> completed.
>>
>> Comcast and ISC created the Open Home Gateway Forum (OHGF) to address
>problems
>> in managing large numbers of home gateway devices.  The Open Home
>Gateway Forum
>> (OHGF) team created and demonstrated enhancements to OpenWrt that
>enabled
>> a robust process for remote configuration and software upgrade. This
>could
>> allow an ISP to securely update home gateway devices, and might be
>leveraged
>> more broadly by OpenWrt to provide automatic software updates. This
>is
>> important since so much customer premise equipment never receives a
>software
>> update, creating significant future security vulnerabilities.  This
>new feature
>> can mitigate the risk of software never being updated, which has
>recently been
>> in the news in an article by Bruce Schneier and in a malware attack
>affecting
>> Internet devices.
>>
>> The remote configuration and update process uses cryptographic
>signatures and
>> checksum verification to ensure the integrity of the update source as
>well as
>> the validity of the software downloaded. These extra security
>measures protect
>> the home gateway from downloading or installing software delivered by
>or
>> tampered with by any unauthorized party.
>>
>> As the largest cable Internet Provider in North America, Comcast has
>a vested
>> interest in solving this problem.  One way they have chosen to
>address it by
>> funding the development of a transparent open source solution.
>>
>> OpenWrt is a highly extensible GNU/Linux distribution that runs on
>over 80
>> different manufacturer’s embedded systems. OpenWrt is an open source
>project,
>> meaning that the source code is freely available, and they welcome
>> contributions from contributors anywhere in the world.  Many of the
>millions of
>> home gateways connected to the Internet run software based on
>OpenWrt.
>> Improvements made in OpenWrt can have a wide-ranging impact.
>>
>> “We are part of a community working together to address a global
>Internet
>> problem,” stated Gregers Petersen, OpenWrt Relationship Manager.
>“We welcome
>> the support of, and collaboration with, ISC and Comcast.   The open
>source
>> model is once again proving to be the best way to tackle the really
>tough
>> technical problems that affect us all.”
>>
>> “OpenWrt is a vibrant open source project and their software is used
>by many of
>> our Xfinity Internet customers as well as countless other Internet
>users,” said
>> Jason Livingood, Vice President of Internet & Communications
>Engineering at
>> Comcast. “We are happy that ISC was able to develop a unique way of
>secure
>> remote configuration and update, since regular and automatic software
>updates
>> are a critical part of ensuring the ongoing security of
>Internet-connected
>> consumer devices.”
>>
>> After working with the OHGF team, OpenWrt is continuing to add
>support for
>> detecting and recovering from interrupted installs and is working on
>a way to
>> safely do home gateway kernel upgrades.  For more information about
>OpenWrt, or
