A Post-Quantum Future for Let's Encrypt

Let’s Encrypt is committed to a post-quantum-safe Web PKI. The path we’re planning to take is Merkle Tree Certificates (“MTCs”), a new approach that adds post-quantum authentication to the web without sacrificing the speed and reliability that have made TLS universal.

In my #SSO / #IdM adventures, looks like if I wanted to allow people to use my hackerspace's #OIDC SSO to access my services, I can configure this in #Authentik, but not in #KaniDM 🤔

API Security 101: Understanding the Foundation and Why Attacks are Rising
This article discusses the growing importance of API security and the rising number of attacks against APIs. The author explains that APIs have become critical components in modern applications, handling a wide range of tasks including authentication, data transfer, and business logic. However, their increasing usage has exposed numerous vulnerabilities. One specific example provided is an XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) attack on an API endpoint via client-side manipulation of cookies or JavaScript. The researcher was able to exploit insufficient input validation by injecting malicious scripts within the user's session cookie, which executed upon subsequent API requests due to the lack of Content Security Policy headers. The impact includes unauthorized access, data theft, and account hijacking. The author recommends implementing proper access controls, token-based authentication, rate limiting, and input validation to secure APIs. Key lesson: Secure APIs are crucial for maintaining application security in the modern digital landscape. #API #Cybersecurity #WebSecurity #XSS #Authentication #InputValidation

I'm considering #smime certificates instead of PGP keys for my #email #encryption and #authentication. Unfortunately I have no clue which certificate authorities are good. Any suggestions from the fediverse?

Also #boost|s for more reach would be highly appreciated :) , thanks!
