bureaucrat | Form handling for Ruby inspired by Django forms | Form library

I have a Java service that will generate an ECDSA public/private key pair. I'd like to write both the public key and the private key, encrypted with a randomly-generated secret key that I manage within my service, to the local file system.

I could obviously just encode the keys' bytes using base64 and write that out to a file, or I could write them in a binary format of my own creation. But if possible, I'd prefer to write them out in a standardized format such as PEM or DER. I can figure that out for the unencrypted public key, but I'm struggling to figure out how to do it from within Java for the encrypted private key.

I know that I could call out into the OS and call openssl on the command line, but (a) I'd rather do this natively in Java, and (b) I've read numerous posts suggesting that openssl's algorithm for encoding the key is not particularly secure. So I am hoping to use the Java Cryptography Architecture (JCA) APIs to encrypt the private key using an algorithm of my choosing, and then to wrap the encrypted bytes in whatever is needed to make this a valid PEM- or DER-formatted file.

I suspect that there are libraries like BouncyCastle that make this easier, and I may use such a library if necessary. But my company deals in regulated software that places an ongoing bureaucratic maintenance cost for all off-the-shelf (OTS) software, so the ideal solution would be something that I can write directly in Java using the standard JCA classes (currently using Java 11).

I'd appreciate any thoughts and recommendations on how I might approach this problem.

so I'm editing this FANDOM wiki.

I have this element here:

Infortunately i have the task to administer the mediawiki of my company and i don't know much about it. My company does not allow extensions for security reasons. The wiki is private, so that only registered users can see the content. Only sysops can create new users. I am I have created a group that can only edit and view a single page. The page call is enabled by $wgWhitelistRead. This also allows anonymous users to read the page. Is it possible to create an if query for registered users in localsettings.php, so that only registered users see the website? Or is there a better way for my purpose?

PS: I know that a wiki is not really made for what my company uses it for, but unfortunately the bureaucrats don't want to use anything else out of habit.

We have our software hosted in Git on Azure DevOps and built using a build pipeline (which primarily uses a Cake script). We are now looking to deploy this software using the Azure DevOps release pipeline. However, all of our application servers are behind our firewall, inside of our network, and don't have any port open except for 80 and 443 for the web applications. We have dev, staging, and production servers for our apps (including some for load balancing). All I really need is to copy the artifact, backup the current code to a separate folder on the server, deploy and unzip the artifact file in the root deployment folder, and restart IIS on those servers.

My company is rather large and bureaucratic so there are some hoops we have to jump through for due diligence before we even attempt this new process. In that spirit, I am trying to find the best solution. If you can offer your advice, and in particular, offer any other solution we did not think of, that would be helpful:

1. The obvious solution would be to stand up servers on Azure cloud and move completely to the cloud. I know this is a solution, and this may be where we go, but my request is for non-cloud solution options so I can present this properly and make a recommendation.
2. Use a Hyper VPN tunnel to securely transfer the files and restart IIS. Probably the easiest and simplest method in regards to our already built build process on AzDO. Technically, this is the one I am least comfortable with.
3. Use build agents inside the network, connect to them from AzDO, have them build the software, and then have them deploy it or other agents. Lots of work to set it up but so far the least intrusive to our security. I also am not a fan because I wanted AzDO to handle builds and deployments.
4. Open the SFTP and SSH ports for each server and transfer the files that way. Maybe the least secure way but very simple?

If you have a better solution for this problem or a more common solution, let me know. If you think I should one of the 4 above solutions, let me know. If you can expand on any of the options above, please do.

I have a document of user survey:

In my React Native app i'm fetching json data which contains raw html tags.How to remove the html tags from that?Following is the json response i'm getting

I work in a very large, bureaucratic organization and I'm trying to pitch a simple (local) web interface to my team. Given extensive firewall and domain security, I am wondering if this is even possible.

My question is: From a network security perspective, what might prevent IIS from allowing connections from other users on my network?

I believe IIS uses port 80 for default traffic, but it isn't listed as "Listening" when I run netstat -a through command prompt. I do have other ports listening but my fear is they are strictly monitored. Our organization also restricts connectivity between users to shared directories, so I'm wondering if that impacts anything like Windows Authentication in IIS.

I have very little network security experience so thank you in advance to anyone who can shed some light on this!

Before you all start screaming about refactoring and callbacks, read the question fully, please :)

I have the following situation in javascript (code simplified for convenience):

Let's say I have some unspecified type called variant, as well as two functions allowing to convert to/from this type, with the following signature:
