We are excited to share our latest work on making secure messaging more decentralized!
We've developed DMLS – a new approach that brings fork resilience to the MLS protocol, solving a key challenge in distributed systems while maintaining Forward Secrecy.
This work was made possible by eQualitie, who funded it as part of the SplinterCon Breakout program.

“Mr. Sanborn acknowledged that keeping the secret could be a strain: His computer has been hacked repeatedly over the years, he said, and obsessive fans of the work have threatened him. ‘I sleep with a shotgun,’ he said.”

🗿 A C.I.A. Secret Kept for 35 Years Is Found in the Smithsonian’s Vault
｢ What led to that moment is a blend of mishandled paperwork and nerdy spycraft. An amateur cryptographer and his friend had found the solution in plain view for anyone willing to dig through the archives of the Smithsonian Institution ｣

#Signal’s reliance on #AWS can and should be fixed. I am sure they will do so. I am not willing to throw away world-class, diverse, international expertise in the field of #cryptography and #privacy over a 3-hour outage.
I think it is rather dangerous and counterproductive of folks to be advocating for self-hosting Delta, Matrix, or other platforms when we know, demonstrably so, that it’s incredibly easy to accidentally misconfigure software, the OS they are hosted on, or firewall rules etc.
I see a lot of discussion around @signalapp using #AWS and the recent outage

#Cryptography is hard to do correctly. It’s complex, easy to make mistakes and I am not an expert at these things. I do know that #Signal has been doing this for much longer than myself, with people I trust with a leader like @Mer__edith advocating for peoples privacy above all else, threatening to leave the EU if they pass anti-privacy laws.

🔐 Every unencrypted email is readable by 10+ entities and stored forever.
Web Key Directory (WKD) changes this: automatic encryption using your domain name. No manual keys. No central servers. Just cryptographic certainty.
WKD makes encrypted email as simple as HTTPS made web browsing secure.

Did I just send 25 letters by recorded post to representatives of the Italian government, parliament, and EU institutions, speaking out against ChatControl?

Yes, it looks like I did.
