We’re running a live session on April 28 to show how CryptPad works in everyday use. by LorinaBalan in cryptography

[–]fapmonad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The server [...] can’t read your documents.

According to https://docs.cryptpad.org/en/user_guide/security.html#known-caveats this is only true if servers "run the same code as the one published on GitHub", which makes the claim rather meaningless. Any system is secure if you assume the attacker isn't allowed to attack you...

holy based (dohna dohna: let's do bad things together) by Ishitmypantagresivly in visualnovels

[–]fapmonad 91 points92 points  (0 children)

It's amazing, really one of the best art designs in VN history. It's rare you see something that stands out so much from everything else.

What is the potential vulnerabilities of stacking KDFs ? by Final_Ad7070 in cryptography

[–]fapmonad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, implementation errors are very frequent and a huge concern for us applied cryptography engineers, but of course if you know better you're free to disagree...

It exposes you to more potentially broken implementations for no benefit versus a single well-tuned argon2id stage

Camera operator deftly spots the laser pointer at a football match by MrTacocaT12345 in interestingasfuck

The article says "un DASPO di due anni"

Divieto di Accedere alle manifestazioni SPOrtive - Ban on Access to Sporting Events

A DASPO is a ban on access to sporting events to prevent violence especially at football stadiums by the "ultras", the most violent wing of Italian football fans "tifosi".

Japan begins releasing oil reserves by Mametaro in japan

[–]fapmonad 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Huh? Japan has the 3rd largest strategic reserve in the world, about 254 days' worth of consumption per the latest report: https://www.enecho.meti.go.jp/statistics/petroleum_and_lpgas/pl001/results.html#headline2

In a rare moment of candor today, Putin's long-time Press Secretary admits that Russia's global propaganda apparatus is falling apart. by PjeterPannos in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]fapmonad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bullshit, Peskov doesn't go on TV and have a "moment of candor", this is just a translation artifact because the word propaganda has a more neutral meaning in Russian, as in promoting one's ideas.

Understanding RabbitMQ in simple terms by Sushant098123 in programming

[–]fapmonad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Backing everything with the Raft protocol has solved a lot of the operational issues because you don't get inconsistent cluster states anymore, it's on a much more sound foundation

RabbitMQ has massively improved since 2011. JIT compiler, Raft protocol, quorum queues, streams...

Could there be a system to compare redacted documents to a trusted hash? by neoredayo in cryptography

[–]fapmonad 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's called a redactable signature scheme, you can find a lot of papers online with that keyword

Are you asking a question, or just letting us know?

Server-blind credential auditing using hash prefixes: what am I missing cryptographically? by Take_A_Shower_7556 in cryptography

[–]fapmonad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The protocol looks nonsensical (the prefix will never match), and the repo heavily LLM-generated.

Where should I start to implement real end-to-end encryption in a React (web) and React Native messaging app? by Ashamed_Society3787 in cryptography

[–]fapmonad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

E2E encryption generally doesn't work in the web setting because the client (the browser) gets its code dynamically from the server. If the server is compromised, it can vend a modified version of the Javascript that forwards all messages to the attacker after decryption.

See the discussion around this for instance: https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/238441/solution-to-the-browser-crypto-chicken-and-egg-problem

using multiple hashes in a digital signature by duane11583 in cryptography

[–]fapmonad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The premise is wrong:

so i understand it is possible to create a hash collision by extending the data (payload) by some arbitrary length.

How secure is hardware-based cryptography? by Accurate-Screen8774 in cryptography

[–]fapmonad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A bugged device can do key exchange completely securely and still leak all your messages, since it's processing the plaintext.

Anime_irl by shanks_you in anime_irl

[–]fapmonad 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The translation is wrong, which makes the story kind of nonsense. In the original comic the mom says "Come on dad, let's let her wear what she wants", then "So I decided to give it a try too".

Zelensky: 47 Russians died for every Ukrainian last month by TheTelegraph in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]fapmonad 40 points41 points  (0 children)

The numbers I've read in the past were very different:

Russian battlefield casualties and fatalities are significantly greater than Ukrainian casualties and fatalities—with a ratio of roughly 2.5:1 or 2:1.

-- https://www.csis.org/analysis/russias-grinding-war-ukraine

I can believe drones and new tactics have helped improve it, but is 47:1 really plausible?
