Off-topic: Summit @ Pico de Orizaba

This is totally an off-topic but it represents a personal achievement for me. Last sunday, April 26th I climbed Citlaltépetl to the summit (5630 msnm/masl), highest point in Mexico at 6:45 am local time.

Thanks to the brave and professional fellows at Grupo Universitario de Alta Montaña (UNAM) Here's the link to the pictures. Mens sana in corpore sano.

New token from Banamex

A month ago I got an e-mail from Banamex (but hadn't had time to write down a blog entry) notifying of a new scheme to access to online bank system. (It's not a coincidence that Banamex is one of the main targets in Mexico for online fraud, they have a very weak system to authenticate users through an event-based token). It's good news to know that finally they're moving to a more effective system (although not fool-proof, there's still a scenario with MITM).

I haven't received the new token, so I don't have a first-hand experience yet, BUT... I hope the challenge-response scheme they're announcing implements TIME-BASED numbers and not only EVENT-BASED like they do now.
