The call for talks for CAW 2026 (a workshop affiliated with Eurocrypt) is out!

This year's motto is "cryptography under real-world constraints and threat models", but other applied cryptography is also very welcome.

All info is on: caw.cryptanalysis.fun.

Uppfriskande att se att någon har visioner som inte handlar om att utvisa människor eller sätta barn i fängelse.

Steg 1
Regeringen tar bort anslaget för klimatanpassning

Steg 2
Två av tre tjänster inom förebyggande klimatarbete försvinner

Steg 3
Klimatrelaterade katastrofer blottar luckor i krisberedskapen

Steg 4
Klimatministern läxar upp länsstyrelserna

Steg 5
[inget händer]

ABB:s robotikförsäljning till Japan är ett tecken på Sveriges och Europas industriella förtvining.

WAICT builds on subresource integrity to create an end-to-end transparency solution for web applications. It is still early days, but this looks like great news for web application auditability and trust! 🎉

Improving the trustworthiness of Javascript on the Web
Today, there's no way to audit a site’s client-side code as it changes, making it hard to trust sites that use cryptography. We preview a specification we coauthored that adds auditability to the web.

Geostationary satellites are leaking critical data, transmitting sensitive communications in the clear. With just $800 of consumer hardware, researchers intercepted military, telecom, retail, and infrastructure traffic. satcom.sysnet.ucsd.edu/docs/dontloo...

Påminnelse. År 2025 lever 700 000 människor i materiell och social fattigdom i Sverige. Det är en ökning med 120 000 på ett år. Bara sedan 2021 har andelen fattiga nästan fördubblats, från 3,5% till 6,6%. Ojämlikheten skenar

Fattigdomen fördubblad i Sverige på tre år | Dagens Arena
Andelen fattiga i Sverige har fördubblats sedan 2021 och är nu nära 7 procent av befolkningen. 700 000 personer klarar inte att betala nödvändiga utgifter.

Jag försökte bli månadsgivare till en organisation jag stödjer, men för att godkänna autogirot var jag tvungen att ge något som heter FinShark tillgång till mitt konto i 180 dagar!? Det känns ju helt bananas! Är det här verkligen det bästa vi kan åstadkomma 2025?

This is so cursed.
Virtual Machines render fonts. It’s kind of insane.



TrueType has its own instruction set, memory stack, and function calls.



You can debug it like assembly. It’s also exploitable:

Signal is really pushing the envelope with their new post-quantum secure triple ratchet. The protocol is formally verified using ProVerif, and the implementation uses hax to verify correctness and panic-freeness of the implementation. Really great work!
In 2023, Signal was the first mainstream messenger to enable post-quantum cryptography. We’re still ahead of the (elliptical) curve, implementing a new hybrid PQ ratchet ensuring Forward Secrecy & Post-Compromise Security even in a post-quantum world. signal.org/blog/spqr/

I know it’s been said again and again, but what does it say about ChatControl that its backers keep explicitly *exempting* law enforcement and national security accounts from content scanning?

There's a sick linenoise article by @there.is.no.aarch64.mov in @phrack.org 71 called "Learning An ISA By Force Of Will", where ixi goes from unknown binary blob, to manual instruction decoding, to figuring out control flow, and gives a critique of the RE'd ISA.
