    Stop Using Encrypted Email with William Woodruff

    There was a bug in an OpenPGP library which finally gave us an excuse to tear encrypted email via PGP to shreds. Our special guest William Woodruff joined us to help explain the vuln and indulge our gnashing of teeth on why email was never meant to be encrypted and how other modern tools do the job much, much better.

    Vegas, Baby!

    We’re throwing a party in Vegas! Someone called it SCWPodCon last year, and the name stuck. It’s sponsored by Teleport, the infrastructure identity company. Get SSO for SSH! If Thomas was here, I’m sure he’d tell you that Fly.io uses Teleport internally. Oh also there's some thing called Black..pill? Black Pool? Something like that happening in Vegas, with crypto talks, so we chatted about them a bit, plus some other stuff SCWPodCon 2025: https://securitycryptographywhatever.com/events/blackhat Transcript: https://securitycryptographywhatever.com/2025/07/29/vegas-baby/ Links: - Fault Injection attacks on PQCS signatures: https://www.blackhat.com/us-25/briefings/schedule/index.html#bypassing-pqc-signature-verification-with-fault-injection-dilithium-xmss-sphincs-46362 - Another attack on TETRA: https://www.blackhat.com/us-25/briefings/schedule/index.html#2-cops-2-broadcasting-tetra-end-to-end-under-scrutiny-46143 - Attacks on SCADA / ICS protocols (OPC UA): https://www.blackhat.com/us-25/briefings/schedule/index.html#no-vpn-needed-cryptographic-attacks-against-the-opc-ua-protocol-44760 - Attacks on Nostr:  https://www.blackhat.com/us-25/briefings/schedule/index.html#not-sealed-practical-attacks-on-nostr-a-decentralized-censorship-resistant-protocol-45726 - https://signal.org/blog/the-ecosystem-is-moving/ - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nostr - https://eurosp2025.ieee-security.org/program.html - https://cispa.de/en/research/publications/84648-attacking-and-fixing-the-android-protected-confirmation-protocol - https://hal.science/hal-05038009v2/file/main.pdf - 8-bit, abacus, and a dog: https://eprint.iacr.org/2025/1237.pdf - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dlsa9EBKDGI - https://www.quantamagazine.org/computer-scientists-figure-out-how-to-prove-lies-20250709/ - https://eprint.iacr.org/2025/118 "Security Cryptography Whatever" is hosted by Deirdre Connolly (@durumcrustulum), Thomas Ptacek (@tqbf), and David Adrian (@davidcadrian)

    E2EE Storage Done Right with Matilda Backendal Jonas Hofmann and Kien Tuong Truong

    It seems like everyone that tries to deploy end-to-end encrypted cloud storage seems to mess it up, often in new and creative ways. Our special guests Matilda Backendal, Jonas Hofmann, and Kien Tuong Truong give us a tour through the breakage and discuss a new formal model of how to actually build a secure E2EE storage system.

    Picking Quantum Resistant Algorithms

    Migrating the US government to quantum-resistant cryptography is hard, luckily the gamer presidents are on it. This episode is extremely not safe for work, nor does it reflect the political opinions of, well, anybody.

    Apple Pulls Advanced Data Protection in the UK with Matt Green and Joe Hall

    Apple has pulled the availability of their opt-in iCloud end-to-end encryption feature, called Advanced Data Protection, in the UK. This doesn't only affect UK Apple users, however.  To help us make sense of this surprising move from the fruit company, we got Matt Green, Associate Professor at Johns Hopkins, and Joe Hall, Distinguished Technologist at the Internet Society, on the horn.  Recorded Saturday February 22nd, 2025.

    Biden’s Cyber-Everything Bagel with Carole House

    Just a few days before turning off the lights, the Biden administration dropped a huge cybersecurity executive order including a lot of good stuff, that hopefully [cross your fingers, knock wood, spin around three times and spit] will last into future administrations. We snagged some time with Carole House, outgoing Special Advisor and Acting Senior Director for Cybersecurity and Critical Infrastructure Policy, National Security Council in the Biden-Harris White House, to give us a brain dump.
