The Comedy of Errors That Let China-Backed Hackers Steal Microsoft’s #SigningKey

After leaving many questions unanswered, #Microsoft explains in a new postmortem the series of slipups that allowed attackers to steal and abuse a valuable #cryptographic key.

Once a #cryptographic #cipher is successfully broken and meticulously documented, its veil of #security becomes irreparably compromised.

@Juro With #single-#use #cryptographic #hashes, we could still enable somewhat strong #anonymity together with strong human id #verification.

Learning from India’s Aadhar system, it is clear that a single #token isn’t good enough.

Perhaps something similar to blockchain, where you can mine some tokens that identify you. And you can throw away like wallets to escape tracking when you need to.

And speaking of which:
Robert Hanssen died recently. He was seen as a #cryptographic and #computer expert- also seen as a #cybersecurity expert. But as it turns out- he was the ultimate threat.
I think also one of the lessons of #cybersecurity is understand that the experts themselves are the threat.

I just want to send a encrypted decryption key that can’t be used to encrypt another message using the wrapKey of #subtlecrypto but I get unspecified errors all around. Guess tomorrow I will be spending time figuring out which combinations are allowed.

For a #Cryptographic #AI #ImageProtection solution in the browser,
Create an #OpenSource javascript library that can take an encrypted asset and then decrypt it. Then render the image in a #HTML5 <canvas> tag.

I see two possible implementations:

1. #openkey system - meant to add a decryption step; it won't stop anyone who uses the same library to decrypt it. which requires willful intent to steal the image.

2. use a private system, and use auth or payment to release a key

@rasterweb
#Cryptographic #AI #ImageProtection can work for a few reasons

1. declares an intent to protect
2. amplifies #copyright law around encrypted content
3. scrappers are usually simple, and this adds complexity at a different layer than the machine learning algorithm
4. #cryptography adds compute time to the process; how much depends on how dense the method is.

But #metadata and #microformats are also useful

A group of #Swiss researchers have published an impressive #securityanalysis of #Threema.

"We provide an extensive #cryptographic analysis of Threema , a Swiss-based #encrypted #messaging application with more than 10 million users and 7000 corporate customers. As one example, we present a cross-protocol attack which breaks authentication in Threema and which exploits the lack of proper key separation between different sub-protocols. [...]"

LE SPHINX was a pocket #cryptographic device, developed around 1930 by Société des Codes Télégraphiques Georges Lugagne in #Paris ( #France ). The device consists of 10 sliding bars with two scrambled #alphabets each, and should therefore be classed as an alphabet transposition #cipher . At the time, it was advertised as a method for #secret writing when sending ( #radio ) #telegrams .

I’ve been doing some basic research on email #security the last couple days, and just came across this lovely blog post about #DKIM #cryptographic assurances lasting way long than intended. It’s a pretty great “intro to DKIM” read! From 2020!

I would like to find a #cryptographic technique that would allow Alice and Bob to exchange messages.
Each message is written in a simple defined language.

I want; syntactic correctness of both messages to be essential to the decryption of each message, and that the timestamps of both be near-enough for them to be considered to have passed each other in flight.

Please help me to find code where this already exists? I am struggling.

so i saw this here #kitty

and it got me thinking about #compression and #cryptographic #algorithms

and how much more fun they would be if they were #cat themed

purretty good purrivacy? #PGP #GPG

furball instead of #tarball?

ohhhh... remember #cryptocat?
