In a world where cybersecurity threats are perpetually evolving, the need for rock-solid encryption methods has never been more pressing. Enter Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) – a groundbreaking advancement that promises to redefine secure communication and protect our data from adversaries wielding even the most powerful quantum computers. What is Quantum Key Distribution? Quantum Key Distribution is a method of securely distributing cryptographic keys between two parties using the principles of quantum mechanics. The genius of QKD lies in its utilization of quantum states to transmit keys, ensuring that any attempt to intercept or eavesdrop on the communication fundamentally alters…

European Union officials have delayed talks over proposed legislation that could lead to messaging services having to scan photos and links to detect possible child sexual abuse material (CSAM). Were the proposal to become law, it may require the likes of WhatsApp, Messenger and Signal to scan all images that users upload — which would essentially force them to break encryption.For the measure to pass, it would need to have the backing of at least 15 of the member states representing at least 65 percent of the bloc's entire population. However, countries including Germany, Austria, Poland, the Netherlands and the…

I wanted to try to hide some of my files in a way that it wouldn't even be visible that something is hidden. I found a tutorial for Cryptsetup LUKS and tried to implement it. The problem is what I read on several other threads that a person might be detained and arrested if signs of such encryptions are found on their computer. Does anyone know if it's actually a serious issue? Source link lol

Grand and Bruno created a video to explain the technical details more thoroughly.RoboForm, made by US-based Siber Systems, was one of the first password managers on the market, and currently has more than 6 million users worldwide, according to a company report. In 2015, Siber seemed to fix the RoboForm password manager. In a cursory glance, Grand and Bruno couldn’t find any sign that the pseudo-random number generator in the 2015 version used the computer’s time, which makes them think they removed it to fix the flaw, though Grand says they would need to examine it more thoroughly to be…
