"This is a full-on attack on encryption. If Nevada succeeds here, then it’s opening up courts across the country to outlaw #encryption entirely. This is a massive, dangerous attack on security and deserves much more attention."
If you believe the good guys need to have a way to get around encryption, you either haven’t thought about it enough, or you’re not one of the good guys.
Fascinating ... Apple joins Signal to provide the most secure end-to-end encrypted messaging protocols. Note: Apple engineers created their own “Levels” and magically theirs is the highest. ;) But regardless, this is obviously strong encryption.
"Support for PQ3 will start to roll out with the public releases of iOS 17.4, iPadOS 17.4, macOS 14.4, and watchOS 10.4, and is already in the corresponding developer preview and beta releases.”
iMessage quantum security arrives with iOS 17.4 - @9to5Mac
This would have been the perfect article to remind people that all of this E2EE doesn’t matter if you backup your iMessages in iCloud, where they will be backed up clear-text to Apple/NSA, unless both parties turn on Advanced Data Protection
#Apple strengthens iMessage end-to-end encryption with post-quantum cryptography: PQ3.
"iMessage now meets this goal with a new cryptographic protocol that we call PQ3, offering the strongest protection against quantum attacks and becoming the only widely available messaging service to reach Level 3 security"
@greypilgrim oh yeah, none of this is open source so we kinda have to take their word for it. Plus, there’s no mention of metadata so I’m assuming nothing changed in that department. Meaning Apple still knows who talks to who, how often, for how long, etc.
Backdoors that let cops decrypt messages violate human rights, EU court says
One of comments about the title:
"Contrary to what the headline says, the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, France, is not an EU court. It is part of the Council of Europe, which is older than the EU and has more members, and is mainly concerned with human rights related issues.
The EU has its own Court, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) in Luxembourg.
Edit: just to add, the article gets all the nuances right and refers to the Council of Europe and even to possible endorsement by the CJEU, so the problem is only with the headline."
@cwtch is by far my most favorite #secure#messenger. it's #serverless, and end to end encryption (#e2ee) is built in with #tor onion services. no setting up any infrastructure required, it's built on the back of the distributed @torproject operator network. no phone number is necessary, and you can have isolated IDs (profiles) for everyone you talk to
«Ende-zu-Ende-Verschlüsselung (E2EE) durch Urteil EU-weit geschützt»
– @tarnkappeinfo
Mal eine positive Nachricht was die #EU und #IT angeht. Die #E2EE ist geschützt und eingesehen das #Privatsphare wichtig ist. Jetzt müssen nur noch die Firmen und Behörden die #Verschlusselung ihrer #Kommunikation, wie zB #EMail mit #GPG, noch konsequent umsetzen. Ich hoffe, die #Schweiz zieht dem nach.
@MikeSchmid@tarnkappeinfo das schlimme ist, dass viele glauben nichts zu verbergen zu haben. Das ist absoluter Blödsinn der gerne von Staaten und Firmen die ALLES überwachen, sprich Daten sammeln, wollen 🙄
🇬🇧 The judgement of the European Court of Human Rights on the right to #EndToEndEncryption#E2EE is a victory for civil liberties! EU governments must finally remove the proposed destruction of secure encryption from the #ChatControl 2.0 bill!
