Fly Catcher is an open-source device that can detect aircraft spoofing by monitoring for malicious ADS-B signals in the 1090MHz frequency. "Throughout this project, I realized that finding which AI model to detect for a spoofed aircraft depended greatly on the situation. For instance, I learned that a Neura Network was the optimal model for detecting for obvious"script kiddie" aircraft.
Commonwealth Bank of Australia cyber defence operations leader Andrew Pade is building an AI legacy that will protect customers from cyber attacks and security professionals from career burnout. Rew Pade took on the role of general manager of cyber defence operations and security integration at CBA just over three years ago.
Signal is now testing public usernames that allow users to conceal the phone numbers linked to their accounts while communicating with others. "Think of The Staging Environment as a parallel Signal universe: you'll need to install and run a new build, and register for a new account with a phone number," O'Leary said.
Encrypted messaging app Signal has pushed back against "viral reports" of an alleged zero-day flaw in its software, stating it found no evidence to support the claim. "After responsible...
Signal messenger has investigated rumors spreading online over the weekend of a zero-day security vulnerability related to the 'Generate Link Previews' feature, stating that there is no evidence this vulnerability is real. After contacting Signal about the zero-day last night, they released a statement on Twitter stating that they have investigated the rumors and have found no evidence that this flaw is real.
Onstage at TechCrunch Disrupt 2023, Meredith Whittaker, the president of the Signal Foundation, which maintains the nonprofit Signal messaging app, reaffirmed that Signal would leave the U.K. if the country's recently passed Online Safety Bill forced Signal to build "Backdoors" into its end-to-end encryption. "We would leave the U.K. or any jurisdiction if it came down to the choice between backdooring our encryption and betraying the people who count on us for privacy, or leaving," Whittaker said.
Signal has announced an upgrade to its end-to-end encryption protocol to protect users of its popular messaging app from encryption-breaking attacks through quantum computers. "Quantum computing represents a new type of computational system which leverages quantum mechanical properties to solve certain complex problems many orders of magnitude more quickly than modern classical computers. Instead of bits as in a classical computer, quantum computers operate on qubits," explained Ehren Kret, CTO at Signal.
Signal has adopted a new key agreement protocol in an effort to keep encrypted Signal chat messages protected from any future quantum computers. Quantum computers - which every decade experts believe may be able to crack today's encryption schemes within the next decade or two - aren't particularly useful at the moment.
Signal has announced that it upgraded its end-to-end communication protocol to use quantum-resistant encryption keys to protect users from future attacks. For communication apps, like Signal, that use end-to-end encryption to protect communication between two parties, the concern is that encrypted communications can be intercepted and deciphered to expose the contents of the communication.
Encrypted messaging app Signal has announced an update to the Signal Protocol to add support for quantum resistance by upgrading the Extended Triple Diffie-Hellman (X3DH) specification to...
