1/2 🚨 Today, the European Parliament is holding a public hearing on "lawful access to data for law enforcement." This hearing will platform the Commission and Europol's relentless attack on end-to-end #encryption.

We're heard this before: "lawful access" = encryption backdoors = #MassSurveillance ❌

✊🏾 We need EU lawmakers to #KeepItSafeAndSecure #KISS 🔒

Simple and for a long time regularly used IT security procedure and yet this is a salting of the keys with nonce:

🧂🔑 == more security through nonce

P.S. The problem is that encryptions have to be activated for most services and many fail because they seem to have nothing to hide. Do they really care about your security?

dCode is the universal site for decipher coded messages, cheating on letter games, solving puzzles, geocaches and treasure hunts, etc.»

This data-collecting website is often suggested to me when I am looking for something for data security and encryption. Are there any data-saving online alternatives in this regard?

«Is End-to-End Encryption Optional For Large Groups?
One of the recent topics in Messaging App Discourse is whether it makes sense to prioritize End-to-End Encryption (E2EE) when searching for an alternative to Discord.»

Encryption rarely has anything to do with secrecy, but with the reality of the source and the trust in their data.

Carelessness versus craftsmanship in cryptography

Two popular AES libraries, aes-js and pyaes, “helpfully” provide a default IV in their AES-CTR API, leading to a large number of key/IV reuse bugs. […] The aes-js/pyaes maintainer, on the other hand, has taken a more… cavalier approach.
