Cryptography, privacy, quantum security, infosec, retro vibes.

I am a mathematician and computer security scientist, with a strong interest in cryptography and anonymity, specialized in quantum security and complex cryptographic protocols. I am also a privacy hacktivist and public speaker, blahblahblah, read my Linkedin bio for this s**t, this is my Mastodon corner.

I co-develop Shufflecake, an open source privacy disk encryption tool to help journalists, activists, and whistleblowers evade unjust prosecution.

I am an advocate of digital self-sovereignty. You will see me often ranting about Big Tech, enshittification, and surveillance capitalism.

Fascinated with anime, Japan, RPGs, retro computing, and all things 80-90's. Notice I wrote "fascinated", not "knowledgeable".

Here you won't find peace nor forgiveness, but just: #cryptography #privacy #quantum #security #infosec #retro vibes!

@mailbox_org@social.mailbox.org I tried some of your competitors. I chose you for many reasons, but one important one for me (which I couldn't find in most others) is the ability, when using custom domains, to send an email with a custom "From" address with any arbitrary *@mydomain.com chosen on the fly when I am sending from an admin account mailbox with catch-all enabled. Thanks for this sane choice!

And now, after banning vaguely-defined "LLM-generated code", Codeberg bans cryptocurrency projects. Discussion: https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/org/pulls/1254 The specific ban is for "Content that harms the reputation of Codeberg, such as cryptocurrency related projects". https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/org/commit/f383b648fd733ab88083dc390b91e77cd7589980 I think the reputation of Codeberg has been now harmed enough. When I originally escaped GitHub, I chose Codeberg exactly for the ethical stance and values. For me, anti-censorship is a non-negotiable ethical value. The folks at Codeberg have the right to run their org as they want. However, having now shown that they consider "censorship" good when it's about things they dislike, this made clear that their values and mine are not compatible (even if I dislike those same things, mind you). Supporters of this ban say that this "draws a line", that "is not meant to be applied blanket-wide to all projects, only those which are harmful to the community", as if having constantly to worry about the next mood swing of Codeberg voting members were an acceptable Sword of Damocles for any reputable project. What's next? Banning US users? Banning software aligned with "capital-fascist" values? Open-source banking/wallet apps? Quantum computing tools? Robotics? I'm moving off Codeberg, probably to Radicle. But I feel a bit sad, because Codeberg had the potential, in my opinion, to become the European alternative to GitHub, and they have made clear that they are not ready nor willing to become so. Which is fine: software is political, and everyone has the right to express their political stance. But we still desperately need an alternative to GitHub. #codeberg #drama #github #radicle #politics #opensource #bigtech #eu #europe #europa #usa #digitalsovereignty #ethics #censorship #crypto #web3 #blockchain #ai #llm #vibecoding

And, just to be clear, since what I wrote seems prone to misinterpretation: If there were a magic spell able to flag with confidence code generated with AI by more than X% amount, whatever X or surrounding policy is, then it would all make sense. But I don't believe in magic, and you shouldn't either. Here are a few examples of what I'm afraid it's going to happen: FLOSS project "OpenHemorrhoid" splits over an intestine dev dispute on tabs-VS-spaces. Now we have "OpenHemorrhoid" and "LibreHemorrhoid" accusing each other of AI-generated code at every PR. Indie dating sim game "Kawaii Shinobi Kanojo" is targeted and harassed with unproven AI-gen reporting because the lack of nonbinary characters is interpreted as a queer-phobic political stance of the dev. Libre "ICE tracker and reporting" app is taken down not by US authority overreach, but by mass allegations of AI-generated code. Well, I hope I'm wrong, the community is very mature after all, I'm sure none of this will happen. #sarcasm

Codeberg community voted to ban AI-generated code in repositories: https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/org/pulls/1253#issuecomment-19820434 I am a regular Codeberg user, left GitHub in 2019, and co-maintain Libre projects that saw very little if none at all AI in development. And still I think this decision will backfire badly. I, like most of Codeberg users, was not even aware that this discussion was in place, did not vote. This only passed because of the anti-AI Luddite crowd. Which, mind you, has a point, I have very conflicting feelings about AI myself, and I think that the current trajectory is quite worrying. But this is just a knee-jerk reaction that has clearly not been thought of well enough. I applaude the philosophy, or the intent if you want, of not having Codeberg turn into another SlopHub. But this is fairy-tale wishful thinking. There is no way to reliably detect AI-generated code at scale in 2026. I can already smell the mutual witch hunts across projects and "camps". Anyway, I hope I'm wrong. #codeberg #ai #llm #drama #opensource #ludd #luddism #antiai #libre #foss #floss #slop #github

Mailbox.org price increase: https://mailbox.org/en/news/plan-adjustment-2026/ After Hetzner, another big German IT service provider is raising their prices. Existing customers just got this: "As a valued existing customer, you benefit from a transition period until 31 August 2026. Until then, you can keep your current price for the years ahead by extending your subscription. The more subscription time you add, the longer you will continue to use mailbox at your current price. After that, the new prices will apply." #mailbox #ai #mailboxorg #germany #digitalsovereignty #enshittification

@hopeless I don't know who blocked you, but from my point of view your contribution to the conversation was misdirected. You are trying to make a point pro-AI, which can be agreed upon or not, but the story was about a dev who used AI to contribute code without disclosing it. And that's only the minor side of the story, from my point of view it was much more about the trademark registration thing. Regardless of one's stance about AI, the facts stand that a sizeable share of folks don't like it, so it is IMHO a bit disrepectful to not disclose its use in a community project.

BREAKING! GnuPG introduces quantum-resistant ML-KEM (Kyber) as encryption algorithm!

https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-announce/2026q2/000504.html

This is great news! However, as I've been saying for a while, we should stop considering Harvest-Now-Decrypt-Later as the only thing to be immediately concerned about. The problem of signatures (Trust-Now-Forge-Later) is wrongly assumed to be way less urgent, but the reality is that rolling out a certificate migration will be extremely painful, and quantum attacks against signatures will be stealthy and of difficult attribution initially. Especially for a project like GnuPG, it's extremely important to adopt quantum-resistant signatures ASAP.

@hopeless I don't know enough to judge the full story, I am just reporting what the announcement says, and it mentions explicitly nondisclosure of AI in code production and hostile trademark registration and project takeover as reasons for the split. That said, it is always important to distinguish facts (above) from opinions (below): In my personal opinion: 1) Given the current (lack of) consensus on the ethics, quality, and legality of AI in code production, I think it is just good sense to disclose the use of AI when contributing (note this is also our policy at Shufflecake: AI code use is not forbidden, but must be disclosed); 2) in any case, appropriation of trademark in a community project can only be seen as community-unfriendly behavior at best, a jerk move at worst. And of course take this as a gut reaction without having still heard the other side of the story, which I'd be curious to hear since I started recently playing around MeshCore and I found it an interesting project.

Oh great, just what I needed today.

Claude is rolling out identity verification through Peter Thiel's co-funded Persona.

This is like having your neighborhood crack gang selling narcotics out of convenience stores, rolling out loyalty card programmes, partnering with a contract security firm to inspect IDs of customers at checkout, and selling that data to the police in the hope of getting permission to sell inside Walmarts as well.

Replying to @thedarktangent@defcon.social
@thedarktangent@defcon.social it is becoming increasingly clear how critical this observation is. Considering Zooko's triangle ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zooko%27s_triangle ), I am getting more and more convinced that anything that does not rely on a cryptographic identity is a waste of time in the long run. Yes, even Mastodon. DNS -> Namecoin Mastodon -> Nostr Signal -> Jami/Briar/SimpleX/Etc Yes, I know that many of these alternatives carry a questionable philosophical/cultural background. But, from the technological point of view, they are probably the way to go.

Great article by F-Droid on "What We Talk About When We Talk About Sideloading".

https://f-droid.org/2025/10/28/sideloading.html

A few excerpts:

It bears reminding that “sideload” is a made-up term. Putting software on your computer is simply called “installing” [...] the term “sideload” was coined to insinuate that there is something dark and sinister about the proces

You, the consumer, purchased your Android device believing in Google’s promise that it was an open computing platform and that you could run whatever software you choose on it. Instead, starting next year, they will be non-consensually pushing an update to your operating system that irrevocably blocks this right and leaves you at the mercy of their judgement over what software you are permitted to trust.

You, the state, are ceding the rights of your citizens and your own digital sovereignty to a company with a track record of complying with the extrajudicial demands of authoritarian regimes

Some big news regarding mobile OSes:

First, Graphene OS has confirmed a partnership with a large OEM to bring support to non-Pixel devices (Snapdragon SoC):

https://piunikaweb.com/2025/10/13/grapheneos-ending-pixel-exclusivity-new-oem/

This is good news, but IMHO it only delays the unavoidable demise of free AOSP-based projects since Google is now finally pulling the rug.

Second, the FSF announced Librephone, an initiative to bring real freedom to mobile devices:

https://www.fsf.org/news/librephone-project

This is also good, but it must be taken in the right perspective: Librephone, as far as I understand it, is not a new mobile OS, but rather an initiative to open-source existing proprietary firmware blobs. AOSP-based open source OSes like Lineage, Graphene, and even /e/OS, will hopefully benefit from this initiative, by being able to replace binary blobs with open-source firmware. But they still remain AOSP-based solutions, and therefore bound to the Google ecosystem.

There are two problems here that really need to be addressed.

The first one is political. Legislators and citizens must come to acknowledge that a democratic society where the full mobile ecosystem is in the hands of a corporate duopoly is not acceptable.

The second one is technological: AOSP is not a fully free OS, it's a trojan horse, a trap set by Google years ago that is springing right now. We need to move away from Android and embrace full GNU/Linux solutions, or even something completely new, at this point I don't even care. I've heard good opinions of Postmarket OS. Any feedbacks here?

Say what you want about Richard Stallman, but he saw this coming.
