A new security shortcoming discovered in Apple M-series chips could be exploited to extract secret keys used during cryptographic operations. Dubbed GoFetch, the vulnerability relates to a...
Quantum computing spreads across a wide range of disciplines both on the hardware research and application development fronts, including elements of computer science, physics, and mathematics. The goal is to combine these subjects to create a computer that utilizes quantum mechanics to solve complex problems faster than on classical computers.
Tuta Mail has announced TutaCrypt, a new post-quantum encryption protocol to secure communications from powerful and anticipated decryption attacks. Tuta Mail is an open-source end-to-end encrypted email service with ten million users.
A law firm acting on behalf of the Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford has asked a state court to issue a temporary restraining order denying minors access to encrypted communication in Meta's Messenger application. The legal claim cites a statement from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that argues Meta's provision of end-to-end encryption in Messenger "Without exceptions for child sexual abuse material placed millions of children in grave danger."
Apple announced PQ3, its post-quantum encryption standard based on the Kyber secure key-encapsulation protocol, one of the post-quantum algorithms selected by NIST in 2022. There's a lot of detail in the Apple blog post, and more in Douglas Stabila's security analysis.
Apple is adding to the iMessage instant messaging service a new post-quantum cryptographic protocol named PQ3, designed to defend encryption from quantum attacks. Quantum computing threatens the existing encryption schemas with nearly instant cracking.
Apple has announced a new post-quantum cryptographic protocol called PQ3 that it said will be integrated into iMessage to secure the messaging platform against future attacks arising from the...
Seemingly most critically, the [Russian] government told the ECHR that any intrusion on private lives resulting from decrypting messages was "Necessary" to combat terrorism in a democratic society. To back up this claim, the government pointed to a 2017 terrorist attack that was "Coordinated from abroad through secret chats via Telegram." The government claimed that a second terrorist attack that year was prevented after the government discovered it was being coordinated through Telegram chats.
The European Court of Human Rights has ruled that laws requiring crippled encryption and extensive data retention violate the European Convention on Human Rights - a decision that may derail European data surveillance legislation known as Chat Control. The Court issued a decision on Tuesday stating that "The contested legislation providing for the retention of all internet communications of all users, the security services' direct access to the data stored without adequate safeguards against abuse and the requirement to decrypt encrypted communications, as applied to end-to-end encrypted communications, cannot be regarded as necessary in a democratic society."
