#decryption — Public Fediverse posts

working on #codebook HTML pages --- an app for encoding and decoding, a codebook maker page, and a page for 'unauthorized' #decryption of coded messages. for educational uses, but I suspect if used sparingly, you might get away with a few 'unbreakable' messages per codebook, if you needed to.

Imagine if the lawyer who mailed herself part 2 of Smith's report on Trumps handling of documents had encoded the text first before emailing it as cake recipes.

Classic MacPaint Art
From July of last year, the blog called decryption posted a bunch of wondrous examples of 1-bit MacPaint art from the early days of the platform. MacPaint had a distinctive aesthetic: tiny dots, each either white or black, favored the use of dithering to create makeshift grayscale. (Note: one image is NSFW.) Here's a few selections, but there's lots more

I listened to the latest pod episode of Random but memorable by 1Password. In the interview with Hayley Benedict, she highlighted the threat that eg state actors harvest encrypted data from internet. The data is safely encrypted for now. But when quantum computing comes, older and much current encryption can be deccrypted. It is debated when quantum computing becomes real. She is a cyber intelligence analyst at RANE.

The Chilean #SII, akin to the #IRS from United States, asks to sign tax documents using SHA1-RSA.

This encryption is susceptible to Marvin Attack, Collision Vulnerability, and SHAttered Attack.

Literally, all business in #Chile are vulnerable to these attacks.

Safest Country in EU for #Privacy

In an era where digital privacy is of paramount importance, the #EuropeanUnion stands out as a region with a strong commitment to protecting citizens’ data

Not all EU countries are created equal in terms of privacy laws

The question of which country offers the safest environment in the EU is complex, influenced by factors including key disclosure laws, mandatory #decryption requirements, & attitudes toward personal #data protection.
