Hey is #Veracrypt sill a good alternative to #bitlocker ? Does it work on #windows11 ?

RE: https://mstdn.social/@archaeology/115951789303286896

the article didnot resolve or decipher any chapter, paragraph or sentence. It describes the way of setting up cipher tables in a medieval manner. However to my surprise no AI is ever mentioned with Voynich for solving the mix of images and glyphs in the manuscript. Isn't that curious or even silly ? If s.th today was accomplished by AI holy wows to AI cannot be big enough. If it fails or is not applied nobody cares or dares to mention AI any time for enigmatic #cryptography

Here's how to generate a truly random number with quantum physics https://lobste.rs/s/izkcdg #compsci #cryptography

I think it goes without saying that if an entity has your encryption key, they can be compelled to turn that key over to the government. Your Microsoft encrypted drive is not immune to this.

Public Key Directory - Key Transparency for the Fediverse via @arch https://lobste.rs/s/db0gv4 #cryptography
https://publickey.directory/

Cryptographic public-keys are one way that one can have an identity (on the Fediverse, and elsewhere) while also having privacy — through a pseudonymous identity.

Yes, we have Fediverse IDs such as:

＠joeblow＠example.com

But a (non-delegated) public-key can function as a PORTABLE form of identity on the Fediverse.

#ActivityPub #Cryptography #Fedidev #Fedidevs #Fediverse #JSONLD

3/

All that requires that a Fediverse user can have multiple public-keys specified for them.

...

Although https://w3id.org/security/v1 seems to allow for multiple public-keys —

I wonder how much Fediverse software could actually handle multiple public-keys (rather than just one)?

(And, don't just assume one public-key?)

How mucg Fediverse software could handle public-keys changing over time?

Etc?

2/

To handle public-key cryptography safely, often a user should be able to have multiple public-keys.

For example, a user might have a different public-key on each device, rather than sharing public-keys.

A user might delegate to a 3rd party — and there may be a delegated versus non-delegated public-key distinction.

Key-rotation is also often necessary for safety reasons.

Etc.

...

#ActivityPub #Cryptography #Fedidev #Fedidevs #Fediverse #JSONLD

1/

One way ActivityPub can be extended is — through JSON-LD namespaces.

For example, many Fediverse servers use the following JSON-LD namespace to specify cryptographic public-key(s) for the user.

https://w3id.org/security/v1

(This particular namespace is an HTTPS URL.)

...

But, does extant Fediverse software support cryptographic public-key(s) well?
