Do you want a funny weekend project?

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.

#DataProtection Board's Statement on the 42 Recommendations of the »High-Level Group on Access to Data for Effective Law Enforcement« aka the #EuGoingDark surveillance plan:

Nothing about the undemocratic and biased working methods of the group …

I am building an online chat application for use on websites and want to encrypt the conversations before saving them. Any suggestions which JavaScript libraries to use for encryption and decryption?

Google Tink is an open-source cryptography library designed to simplify the implementation of secure encryption protocols. Tink supports a variety of languages, including Java, C++, Go, and JavaScript, and is intended to help developers build secure applications by managing key management, encryption, and decryption processes.

We just released version 0.3.0 of the nethsm-cli #RustLang #crate.

In this release of the `nethsm` #CLI we have added improvements ensuring the robustness of its use when handling keys and improved documentation for the use of namespaces.

https://crates.io/crates/nethsm-cli/0.3.0

We have just released version 0.6.0 of the nethsm #RustLang library #crate

This release focuses on making the interface more robust using dedicated types for key IDs, adding validation of bit lengths for block cipher and #RSA keys and requiring unsigned integers for values that can not be negative (such as bit lengths or ports).

https://crates.io/crates/nethsm/0.6.0

We have just released version 0.2.2 of the nethsm-cli #crate

https://crates.io/crates/nethsm-cli/0.2.2

With this release the `nethsm` #CLI saw improvements for the restoring from backup and switched to the common nethsm-config crate for configuration handling.

We have just released version 0.5.0 of the #NetHSM library #crate

https://crates.io/crates/nethsm/0.5.0

This release contains improvements to the #OpenPGP support, as well as changes for more recent versions of the library's dependencies.

We have just released version 0.2.0 of the nethsm-cli #RustLang #crate.
This executable allows for easy integration with @nitrokey #NetHSM devices (and containers).

With this release we have added #namespace and #OpenPGP support!
Also, users can now rely on shell completion and man pages!

https://crates.io/crates/nethsm-cli/0.2.0

Thanks to @wiktor for working out #OpenPGP support using #rPGP!

We have just released version 0.4.0 of the #nethsm #RustLang #crate.
This library allows for easy integration with @nitrokey #NetHSM devices (and containers).

With this release we have added #namespace and #OpenPGP support!
Additionally, large parts of the documentation have been improved.

Passive #decryption of 2G #communications, #GSM and GPRS impacted
https://www.reddit.com/r/netsec/comments/1ewtvm0/passive_decryption_of_2g_communications_gsm_and/

Spent a nice morning/ noon at the @nitrokey office to test drive a #NetHSM with the nethsm-cli crate.

https://crates.io/crates/nethsm-cli

With a small additional upstream fix, all features and endpoints appear to work as they should

Thanks for the nice test environment and the ice cream
(and for finding typos in my test script! )

Apparently having a password on your phone is no longer enough to keep the FBI from unlocking it if they really want to. That's not great news.

Is it that he used a really weak one?

I really wish we knew more.

I just released version 0.1.0 (the very first ) of the nethsm-cli #crate.
This #RustLang application serves as #CLI to #NitroKey #NetHSM (or the provided testing container).

https://crates.io/crates/nethsm-cli/0.1.0

The `nethsm` application allows users to configure and administrate devices, create cryptographic keys and users, digitally #sign, #encrypt and #decrypt messages, generate random bytes and much more (see examples in the project README).
