This absolutely has the potential to create a "liquidation event" for blockchain based crypto currencies!

Quantum Computing has the power to reverse engineer crypto private keys if the wallet keys have been exposed in public. The crypto industry needs to act quickly to figure out how to mitigate this threat before it truly becomes an existential crisis.

BTW, production grade Quantum Computing is commercially available now! decrypt.co/323512/existential- #BlockChain #Bitcoin #QuantumComputing #Cryptosecurity #CryptoCurrency #PrivateKeys #RSAencryption #crypto

@JenWithGravy #CensorBoot was already irrevocably fucked when #Microsoft lost the #PrivateKeys for that.

And Microsoft admitted to that #insecurity with the #XboxOne's design in their own words!

Securing in Production

Manufacturers employ various to protect during production:

1. Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) for secure key generation and storage
2. Trusted Platform Modules (TPMs) for on-device key protection
3. Secure Boot and Encrypted Boot mechanisms
4. Advanced Key Management Services (KMS)
5. Secure provisioning and transfer protocols

These measures aim to safeguard private keys from .

#PuTTY #SSH client flaw allows recovery of #cryptographic #privatekeys
The vulnerability (CVE-2024-31497) was discovered by Fabian Bäumer and Marcus Brinkmann of the Ruhr University Bochum and is caused by how PuTTY generates #ECDSA nonces (temporary unique cryptographic numbers) for the NIST P-521 curve used for SSH authentication. The main repercussion of recovering the private key is that it allows unauthorized access to SSH servers or sign commits as the developer.

@puniko @hanna also #XMPP + #OMEMO is extremely simple to use and setup and unlike all #centralized, #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider solutions it allows for #SelfCustody of #PrivateKeys, something that @signalapp nor anyone else offers...

Remember: #notYourKeys = #NotYourData = #insecure! !

@bison #XMPP-#OMEMO (#MonoclesChat & #Gajim) would be my decison since there are a shitload of accessible servers AND it's fully #E2EE since you're doing #SelfCustody of the #PrivateKeys!

So even if the maintainers of said servers and/or FLOSS'd clients get held at gunpoint, they can't do #Govware #Backdoors...

@atomicpoet

Don't even trust me!

Use #XMPP-#OMEMO & #PGP/MIME because #NotYourKeys = #NotSecure!

Only #SelfCustody of #PrivateKeys allows full control.

#EncryptEverything!!!

@marcel @bison WTF!?

Wasn das für ne cyberfaschistische Kackshice?

Und dann nichtmals ne wirksame Ende-zu-Ende - Verschlüsselung drin (also #PrivateKeys liegen bei den Nutzer*innen!)...

@neil @Em0nM4stodon #Signal as well isn't secure.

NO #SingleVendor / #SingleProvider solution can be secure as they all violate #KerckhoffsPrinciple.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerckhof

If you can't do #SelfCustody of the #PrivateKeys and don't have 100% control over these, then consider said #encryption to be easily #MITM'd and / or #backdoored.
