Crypto Guys Bought the Answer to the CIA’s Mysterious Kryptos Sculpture

They swear they haven’t peeked at the closely guarded secret and that they’ll keep the cryptographic competition going.

WebRTC messenger architecture — sealed-sender push, encrypted signalling, looking for threat-model critique. Open Source GPLv3

A WebRTC messenger where message content never touches a server and the push layer can’t see who’s messaging whom Android app, solo-built. Trying to find out where the architecture breaks before I scale it. The core idea. Messages travel through direct WebRTC data channels (DTLS/SRTP) between two phones. No server stores, reads, or relays content. Group chats use a gossip protocol, sender fans out to a few reachable members who relay onward; members who come online late fetch missing messages from any peer who has them. The supporting infrastructure, and what each piece can see. Signalling: needed to set up any WebRTC connection. I use a Cloudflare Worker (ephemeral, nothing persisted). The SDP/ICE payload is encrypted with the recipient’s public key before it leaves the sender, and the two participants are addressed by opaque per-session hashes. The relay forwards ciphertext between un-linkable identifiers. Push wake-up: FCM, because Android. Sealed-sender design: the wake-up payload is encrypted to the recipient’s public key, and the sender’s identity is inside that envelope. The push layer sees who’s receiving (it must, that’s how push works), not who’s sending. The FCM request is also forwarded via a Cloudflare Worker so Google doesn’t see the sender’s IP either. TURN relay: Cloudflare again, for restricted networks. Carries encrypted packets only, like any TURN. The code is open source (GPLv3). I wrote a detailed white paper explaining the full architecture on my landing page: www.mindtheclub.com Mainly interested in where the design assumptions break. The sealed-sender piece, I’d like to know if the threat model I’m assuming there is too generous. #infosec #privacy #WebRTC #cryptography #Android #FOSS #PeerToPeer

Our technology review on the transition to #postquantum #cryptography in #telecommunications just came out. :) Big transition, somewhat happening in the shadows of loud hype things, but with also many interesting developments. It's like cryptography's new and fresh again after decades of being delightfully still. ;) https://www.ericsson.com/en/reports-and-papers/ericsson-technology-review/articles/migrating-telecom-to-quantum-resistant-cryptography

I couldn’t find a list of #Linux #kernel versions that include a patch for #copyfail, so I dug into the commit log and made one. Make sure you’re using at least the following version of your branch to mitigate against copyfail:

  • 7.0-rc7 (any stable 7.x is safe)
  • 6.19.12
  • 6.18.22
  • 6.12.85
  • 6.6.137
  • 6.1.170
  • 5.15.204
  • 5.10.254

See https://copy.fail for more info about the #exploit.
