Title: [ANNOUNCE] The Bitcoin Security Project Post by: bitcoinsecurityproject on January 08, 2014, 03:21:19 PM Hello fellow Bitcoiners!
We're here to introduce our new open source and non profit organization, the Bitcoin Security Project. We officially launched on 1/1/2014 and are excited! Here is some of our info that we hope will benefit the Bitcoin community! What's the point of the project? The point of https://bitcoinsecurityproject.org/ (https://bitcoinsecurityproject.org/) is to promote and to spread awareness of software security best practices when it comes to using Bitcoin related programs and technologies. What prompted us create such a thing? Well, for the last couple of years we've been following the Bitcoin industry and have seen way too many Bitcoin businesses (good and bad) getting hacked. We've also been involved in the community and have seen a lot of inexperienced developers make critical security mistakes when developing applications. Bitcoin is in our belief still in it's infancy. There are many smart people who want to get their Bitcoin businesses out there and we want to give them the resources and tools to make them secure so they can protect their customers as well as their own BTC! How can you help? Well, the Bitcoin Security Project is open source and we welcome all contributors. If you are a security professional and want to submit content, please just visit the site and sign up. We also accept contributions in many other ways. We will gladly give you props on our list of contributors. Here are some of the things we need:
Goals for 2014
As always, any feedback is more than welcome. We would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions. Thanks for reading! Title: Re: [ANNOUNCE] The Bitcoin Security Project Post by: bitcoinsecurityproject on January 08, 2014, 05:17:41 PM We've just created a page that contains a list of bug bounty programs by companies that work with Bitcoin.
https://bitcoinsecurityproject.org/BugBounties/ (https://bitcoinsecurityproject.org/BugBounties/) If you know more, please contribute! Title: Re: [ANNOUNCE] The Bitcoin Security Project Post by: morningtime on January 08, 2014, 05:39:14 PM Hey this is great!
I'll have to dive into what you've written so far. Me and my co-founder are working on a cold-wallet-as-a-service using Armory daemon on a web server. Maybe you can also mention hardware wallets, like Trezor (http://www.bitcointrezor.com), which keep the private keys in your hand. Thanks for the great resource.

Maybe you can also mention hardware wallets, like Trezor (http://www.bitcointrezor.com), which keep the private keys in your hand. Thanks for the great resource. That's a great idea. I hope to create a page for wallets and exchanges that we have verified as secure. Although that could get tricky to maintain as updates are made and stuff. Feel free to create an account and contribute if you have ideas for good content! It is much appreciated. Title: Re: [ANNOUNCE] The Bitcoin Security Project Post by: bitcoinsecurityproject on January 08, 2014, 05:52:33 PM This could be great if done the right way! We are hoping to do it the right way with the help of the collective information security and Bitcoin communities. The 5 contributors we have so far have over 40 years of combined hacking and security experience so we're definitely taking it seriously.

The 5 contributors we have so far have over 40 years of combined hacking and security experience so we're definitely taking it seriously. Can you tell us who these people are? They will be added to the https://bitcoinsecurityproject.org/Contributors/ (https://bitcoinsecurityproject.org/Contributors/) page as we get permission from them to put their contact info on the page. At the moment, I am personally reviewing all content until we have enough supporters to establish a structure. We've also gotten some of the main contributors from Metasploit to provide us with some content. The project is definitely NOT about promoting a particular exchange, wallet, technology, etc... We want to just provide good security advice to those who want it.

The article is a how-to use the JSON-RPC client with a secure channel. There is a simple write up on https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Enabling_SSL_on_original_client_daemon (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Enabling_SSL_on_original_client_daemon) but we would like to make it more comprehensive. If you can provide input, please do so. We'd also like to put examples of communicating securely using different programming languages such as PHP, Python, Java, Ruby, etc... Thanks all!
