Point to site + API management connexion

When it comes to software development, connecting different components and services is a crucial aspect. One common scenario is connecting a Point-to-Site (P2S) VPN to an API management service. This combination not only provides secure communication but also allows for better control and management of APIs.

So, what exactly is Point-to-Site VPN? Well, imagine a scenario where you are working from a coffee shop and need to securely connect to your company's network. Point-to-Site VPN allows you to do just that. It enables you to connect to your company's virtual network securely from anywhere, as long as you have an internet connection. It's like having your own private tunnel to access your company's resources.

On the other hand, API management is all about managing and controlling access to your APIs. It allows you to expose your APIs to external developers, partners, or even internal teams in a controlled manner. With API management, you can set up policies, monitor usage, and secure your APIs.

Now, let's see how Point-to-Site VPN and API management can work together. By connecting your Point-to-Site VPN to an API management service, you can ensure that all API requests coming from your company's network are secure and controlled.

Imagine a developer, let's call him Bob, working remotely from his favorite coffee shop. Bob wants to access an internal API hosted on his company's network. Without a Point-to-Site VPN, Bob would have to expose the API to the internet, which is not ideal from a security perspective. But with Point-to-Site VPN, Bob can securely connect to his company's network and access the API as if he is directly connected to the internal network.

But that's not all! By connecting the Point-to-Site VPN to an API management service, Bob's API requests can be monitored, controlled, and secured. The API management service acts as a gatekeeper, ensuring that only authorized requests are allowed and applying any necessary policies or transformations.

So, whether it's protecting sensitive data, controlling access to APIs, or monitoring usage, the combination of Point-to-Site VPN and API management is a powerful tool for software developers.

In conclusion, Point-to-Site VPN and API management go hand in hand when it comes to secure and controlled access to APIs. It's like having a bouncer at the entrance of a fancy club, ensuring only the right people get in, while also keeping the party safe and fun.

Perl Stream Cipher
Tags: perl, programming, security, development
Published: 2023-08-16 19:12:21

A stream cipher is a type of cipher that encrypts each bit. I used this design to implement a cipher in Perl that uses SHA-3 as the basis for the pseudo-random bits. The code gets a random set of numbers as a key from random.org, and then encrypts them using a password on disk for key storage. The on disk algorithm is AES. 

The stream cipher then uses the random key to encrypt by xor function of each byte of the plain text, to create the cipher text. When it needs more bits, it re-hashes the key using SHA-3.

The algorithm can be run using:

perl -I. ssc_main.pl input.plain output.cipher

The implementation is here:

Principles of Responsive Web Design
Published: 2023-08-16 06:14:05

# Principles of Responsive Web Design

In the age of smartphones, tablets, and desktops, it's crucial for websites to look and function well on any device. This is where responsive web design (RWD) comes into play. RWD is an approach to web design that ensures web pages render well on a variety of devices and window or screen sizes. Let's dive into the core principles of responsive design.

## 1. Fluid Grids

Fluid grids involve using relative units like percentages instead of fixed units like pixels for layout elements. This ensures that the layout adapts to the screen size.

```css
.container {
  width: 100%;
  max-width: 1200px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}
```

## 2. Flexible Images

Images on a responsive website are flexible and can resize within their containing elements. This prevents them from breaking the layout or getting hidden.

```css
img {
  max-width: 100%;
  height: auto;
}
```

## 3. Media Queries

Media queries allow designers to apply styles based on the device characteristics, such as its width, height, or orientation. This means you can have a unique design for mobiles, tablets, and desktops.

```css
@media (max-width: 768px) {
  body {
    background-color: lightblue;
  }
}
```

## 4. Mobile-First Design

Mobile-first design is an approach where the design for mobile devices is created first and then adapted for larger screens. This ensures that the mobile experience is optimal.

## 5. Testing and Optimization

Always test your responsive designs on actual devices and browsers to ensure they work as intended. Tools like BrowserStack can be handy for this purpose.

In conclusion, responsive web design is not just a trend; it's a necessity in today's multi-device world. By following these principles, you can ensure that your website offers a seamless experience across all devices.
Why input masking is not accessible
Tags: a11y, javascript, webdev, react
Published: 2023-08-16 18:56:57

My team was asked recently to implement an accessible number input widget that utilizes masking.

As a UI Architect, I'm always willing to investigate if a feature such as masking can be accomplished in an accessible, performant, and high quality manner. Frankly, masking sounds cool and people have argued that it is necessary ([source](https://uxmovement.com/forms/why-formatted-data-fields-always-need-input-masks/)).

However, after trying a few of the libraries related to accessible inputs, such as react-aria's [useNumberField](https://react-spectrum.adobe.com/react-aria/useNumberField.html) and [cleave.js](https://nosir.github.io/cleave.js/), I have found that it is inherently unable to speak the truth to screen-readers and therefore it is not accessible.

## But How Is It Not Accessible?

Let’s assume we have a masking scenario where the asterisk character that is illegal:

Let's see how that works with pasting a value and then how that works with typing a value,

* If you paste “123*456” then the masking library will be unable to process any of it and will likely remove the entire thing which will leave the user with a blank input. React-aria does this, and you can see it by [trying out their decimal example](https://react-spectrum.adobe.com/react-aria/useNumberField.html#decimals). There’s an even scarier example for which I used [when I raised this as a bug to the react-aria team](https://github.com/adobe/react-spectrum/issues/4967)

* If you type “123*456” then the masking library will let you type “123” then it will eat the asterisk (meaning the screen reader will say “asterisk” but the input will not show the asterisk) and then it will let you type “456” so what you’ll be left with is “123456” even though the screen reader will have told the user that “123*456” was entered. This is the scenario why I believe that masking is inherently not an accessible solution.

## So what now?

Due to this, I now recommend that designers and developers opt to not use masking but to instead use error validation. This allows the user to type or paste what they want, but they will be told that what they typed was not allowed. In summary, it’s better to not “lie” to the screen reader, but instead to give good feedback to the user. Do they lose the nice formatting? Absolutely, but at least you've insulated yourself from ADA lawsuits and, more importantly, you've made your website more inclusive.

-------------------------

I'd love to hear people's thoughts in the comments. I should note that [Giovani Camara](https://giovanicamara.com/blog/accessible-input-masking/) has written beautifully about how to do your best to make masking accessible, but I would suspect that the test scenarios I mention above are still reproduceable. So, I would still recommend avoiding it.

Combining HTML Pages for Scroll Down Effect: A JavaScript, HTML, and CSS Solution body { font-family: Arial, sans-serif; margin: 20px; } h2 { color: #333; } p { line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; } code { background-color: #f2f2f2; padding: 2px 4px; font-family: Consolas, monospace; font-size: 14px; } ul { list-style-type: disc; margin-left: 20px; }

Combining HTML Pages for Scroll Down Effect: A JavaScript, HTML, and CSS Solution
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Have you ever visited a website where scrolling down smoothly transitions to a new section or page? This captivating effect can be achieved by combining HTML pages using JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. In this article, we will explore how to implement this scroll down effect and add some fun to your web development projects.

Step 1: Creating HTML Pages
---------------------------

To start, we need to create separate HTML pages for each section or page we want to combine. Let's say we have three sections: Home, About, and Contact. Each section should be saved as a separate HTML file, such as `home.html`, `about.html`, and `contact.html`.

Step 2: Writing JavaScript Code
-------------------------------

Next, we need to write JavaScript code to load the content of each HTML page dynamically. We can use the `fetch()` function to retrieve the content and then insert it into the current page. Here's an example of how the code might look:

`fetch('about.html') .then(response => response.text()) .then(data => { document.getElementById('about-section').innerHTML = data; });`

Step 3: Styling with CSS
------------------------

Now that we have the content loaded dynamically, we can style it using CSS to create a seamless transition between sections. You can experiment with different animations, colors, and layouts to make your scroll down effect visually appealing and engaging.

Step 4: Adding Some Fun!
------------------------

Web development doesn't have to be all serious! Injecting some humor into your projects can make them more memorable and enjoyable. For example, you can display funny messages or animations when the user reaches a new section. Let your creativity run wild and surprise your visitors with delightful surprises along the way!

Conclusion
----------

Combining HTML pages for a scroll down effect is a powerful technique to enhance user experience and add a touch of creativity to your websites. By leveraging JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, you can create seamless transitions between sections and engage your visitors in a unique way. So why not give it a try and bring some fun to your next web development project?
