Another good outcome in the UK’s lunacy case against Apple:

France shows some sense and drops the backdoor mandate:

#nobackdoors

NIST selects HQC as backup post
quantum cryptography algorithm in case there are issues with ML-KEM.

Apple removes Advanced Data Protection for UK customers rather than comply with UK government’s demand. It’s not clear this will satisfy them as they originally wanted access to non-UK customers as well.

Crypto Wars 2.0 : The Empire Strikes Back
https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2025/02/07/apple-encryption-backdoor-uk/
Beware of the crypto graffiti crews promoting potentially dangerous AES modes, use GCM instead!
Spotted in Frankfurt am Main earlier today.
Today NIST announced the approval of FIPS standards for PQC:
* FIPS 203 (Module-Lattice-Based Key-Encapsulation Mechanism Standard, CRYSTALS-KYBER submission)
* FIPS 204 (Module-Lattice-Based Digital Signature Standard, CRYSTALS-Dilithium submission)
* FIPS 205 (Stateless Hash-Based Digital Signature Standard, SPHINCS+ submission)
While the road to adoption will be a long one, this is a critical first step towards the future of quantum resistant cryptography.

We need to make it easy to be able to sign images and documents, and then have browsers or other software verify that signature. We did it with TLS! Why not do it with just straight up documents and images. It would reduce though not remove the possibility of images and documents being faked. You know, like the one that's going around about the situation in Israel right now.
Big win in the UK for Crypto Wars 2.0. Don’t think this will end the attacks on cryptography.
Red Team Blues is super fun so far @pluralistic thanks for this #CryptoMeansCryptography #PoorLighting #RedTeamBlues
Finished @pluralistic _Red Team Blues_ on the flight yesterday. What a great read! Happy to have been part in crowdfunding the audio book (although I stuck to the paper version myself 😉 ) and can’t wait for the next book (or any new Kickstarter from Doctorow for that matter)!

uh-oh, grad den ersten spam per DM im fediverse erhalten.
ist natürlich ein "crypto"-scam.
Maybe now that cryptocurrency has collapsed, "crypto" can mean "cryptography" again.
@molly0xfff before anyone wastes half an hour of their time: he doesn't actually talk about crypto at all. it's only about cryptocurrency scams, with barely any technical details about them. #cryptomeanscryptography
New changes afoot in the world if cryptography.
EdDSA soon will be a FIPS standard in FIPS 186-5 and DSA will be used for verification only.
Time to review your crypto choices maybe, no not the coin ones!

Only in this strange world is #SamBankman being let out on bail, which we all know as "the" guy who caused great harm to our whole world with a global #CryptoCurrency #scam yet the same exact #government decides to hold #peaceful people, who have not harmed anyone, known as the #CryptoSix in jail for months, such as @FTL_Ian
