#Windows and #Linux users: The deadline to update #SecureBoot keys is near

The clock is ticking for Windows and Linux users to update #cryptographic keys that protect their systems against firmware-based #UEFI infections, a pernicious form of #malware that loads before operating system and anti-malware protections start.

Beginning June 24, three certificates that cryptographically verify that each piece of #firmware and software that loads during system #boot will expire. The Microsoft-signed certificates are the linchpins of Secure Boot, a Microsoft-designed chain of trust. Secure Boot checks the digital signatures of all firmware that loads during system startup to ensure it originates from a trusted provider, such as the manufacturer of the #motherboard the system runs on.

Happy Birthday, Whitfield Diffie! Diffie received the 2015 #ACMTuringAward for inventing and promulgating both asymmetric public-key cryptography, including its application to digital signatures, and a practical cryptographic key-exchange method.

Diffie says the counterculture of the 1960’s inspired his interest in cryptography. Watch him explain: https://youtu.be/d820zuDbYIg

Bible verse Romans 11:33

"Romans 11:33 is a profound #doxology in the Bible often interpreted as a declaration of divine mystery, "untraceable" by human logic—a concept closely linked to #cryptographic notions of absolute security or #unbreakability "

Distributed.net is working on RC5-72 (breaking RC5 with a 72-bit key).

Cryptographic attack.
Long... long...

@berniethewordsmith The main way to respect #privacy is to avoid #scanning #private, end-to-end encrypted content at scale. Focus on:
- #Voluntary and opt-in tools for local scanning.

- #Serverside checks only for data that’s already leaving the private domain.

- #Cryptographic #protocols that verify matches without exposing the rest of users’ data.
