  1. #cryptography #diffiehellman
    Today @docta_gervais asked me to look at his article on encryption, and all of a sudden I was like: "Why the hell do we still use Diffie-Hellman?"

    Alice
    - creates a new keypair (like DH)
    - signs her public key with her long-term public key (like DH)
    - sends her public key to Bob (like DH)

    Bob
    - encrypts a random symmetric key with Alice's key (NEW)
    - sends it to Alice (like DH)

    Alice
    - decrypts the symmetric key and uses it for communication (NEW)

  3. An #E2EE messaging app unaffected by #ChatControl

    * App: chat.positive-intentions.com/
    * Code: github.com/positive-intentions
    * Reddit: reddit.com/r/positive_intentio

    How it works: positive-intentions.com/docs/p

    TLDR: I'm working on a #P2P messaging #webapp. Webapps are generally not considered secure because of the nature of serving statics over the internet. This is correct, but not a limitation of this project. (#selfhosting options: positive-intentions.com/blog/d).

    As a webapp, I can provide the app with zero-installation and no-registration. The app is only using (local-only) browser storage (specifically #indexedDB). So in a P2P interaction, the traditional concept of "the cloud" is just the physical devices connected over #WebRTC. This allows for things like P2P authentication: positive-intentions.com/blog/s.

    Future:
    I'm aiming to create the most secure messaging app out there... (more than #Signal, #Simplex, #threema, #session, #deltachat, #bitchat, etc). I know I have a long way to go to get there. The UI is fairly ugly for the average user, but I think the mechanics are working as expected. I think #JavaScript is underrated in what you can do with it. I'm actively investigating improving the #encryption approach further to align to how the Signal protocol works (currently using a #DiffieHellman key-exchange).

    Support:
    In the age of #ChatControl, I would like to keep this project #opensource, but open-source funding is not working for me. I don't want your donations (but don't let that stop you) because it isn't sustainable for a long-term project. I have so far only experienced grant-funding rejections. I have no idea what I'm doing in trying to get funding for this project, so any support/advice is appreciated. In recognition of the project in its current state not being able to get funding... (sorry) I will have to go #closedsource (which I'd like to avoid because it undermines several #cybersecurity claims I'd like to make). I don't accept collaboration on the project because this would make tough decisions like going closed-source also immoral.

  4. Новый кандидат в односторонние функции для криптографии и PRNG

    В мире криптографии и безопасных вычислений постоянно ищутся новые, надёжные математические структуры. Традиционные подходы часто опираются на классические алгебраические группы, но что, если нестандартные операции могут предложить уникальные свойства для построения защищённых систем? В этой статье я хочу предложить вашему вниманию полилинейные функции с линейными сдвигами и рассмотреть их потенциал для обмена ключами и создания криптографических примитивов, таких как хеш-функции и генераторы псевдослучайных чисел.

  9. Алгоритм Diffie-Hellman: Пишем приватный мессенджер на Go

    Это продолжение прошлой статьи про данный алгоритм. Где я рассказывал про возможность общения между двумя пользователями без прямого обмена ключом шифрования. Я уже описывал идею создания прозрачного Open-Source мессенджера на основе этого алгоритма и хочу представить вам его самую простую реализацию с примерами кода. Кода будет много...

  10. Recent ships of the human space fleet are equipped with #DiffieHellman-Drives (which enable them to exchange their position with other, far away ships without allowing outsiders to intercept) and #FloydSteinberg shields (which diffuses all incoming attacks).
    Interstellar navigation was very easy after all ships computers were programmed with the #Bresenham-Algorithm.
    All crew members were trained in all details of the #Kernighan-#Ritchie protocol.

    #PGP is generally good for securely establishing a connection and relationship, after which point #OMEMO has added benefits like #forwardSecrecy, eg. in case your key is broken they can't go forward or back though messages. Forward protected by #DiffieHellman, backward by a one-way hash function. If we remember correctly.

    There are a growing list of fully #FOSS projects that use PGP and OMEMO.
