> If you installed a Linux system with disk encryption more than a couple of years ago, there's a decent chance it's using a weak key derivation function and someone who cares enough would be in a position to brute-force it. https://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/66429.html has more details and instructions on how to update to a better KDF.

quoting from notes:
Do you have something to hide?
19. Nov. 2019
The Privacy Foundation @theprivacyfoundation"Do you have something to hide?" is a manipulative rebuke to those that use #encryption.
It would help us all turn this conversation around. Because, the answer is: YES, we do have something to hide.
Things that we should hide, and must question why a government or business NEEDS access to:- Medical history.
- Sensitive conversations with employers, children, spouses.
- Billing and banking information.
- Purchase information.
- Web search history.
And more...In conversation from tilde.zone permalink -

I did not anticipate this, because I figured they’d have learned from Lavabit and designed their systems such that there was no way for them to have any metadata (user’s IP address, user’s ‘user agent’, timestamps of users’ correspondence, pretty much everything except what is required to send and receive messages). Any information your system has, however briefly, can be the subject of a government order.
My issue over the years has been that both Protonmail and Tutunota send you the JavaScript used to “end-to-end encrypt” your message. At any time, they could be ordered to modify that JS to cache the encryption keys for later reuse by government agencies.

Source: https://papers.mathyvanhoef.com/ccs2017.pdf
Finally, we confirmed our findings in practice, and found that every Wi-Fi device is vulnerable to some variant of our attacks.
Notably, our attack is exceptionally devastating against #Android 6.0: it forces the client into using a predictable all-zero #encryption key.In conversation from despora.de permalink Attachments
