SVT erfar: Regeringen inför nytt larmsystem
Dagens system för varningar med sms-utskick är inte bra nog. SVT erfar att regeringen därför kommer att införa ett nytt varningssystem för att kunna nå fler personer samtidigt. Den nya tekniken används redan bland annat i Ukraina.

Just the fact that posts in Bsky by default (AFAIK) are sorted based on time (newest first), not by some AI that tries to give me what it deems most relevant, is reason enough to use it.

New, by @lorenzofb.bsky.social: A coalition of global governments have identified dozens of Android apps that are bundled with the prolific BadBazaar and Moonshine spyware strains, which they say are targeting civil society who oppose China's state interests.

The advisories say the spyware apps are used to target members of civil society who may oppose China’s state interests.

This popped up on HN the other day, and it was one of the more fun “classical cryptography” posts I’ve seen in ages. Roughly speaking, someone discovered that AI models like Claude can decode the Caesar cipher, even when the “key” used is enormous. fi-le.net/byzantine/

The upcoming release of OpenSSL (3.5.0) not only includes PQC agorithms ML-KEM, ML-DSA and SLH-DSA, it also makes the hybrid key kem schemes the preferred schemes. More PQC support in infrastructure we need. And once again a hybrid, not pure PQC solution.

Current status for cryptography in payment systems from the ICMC conference. We are still transitioning from DES to AES. And transition to PQC is basically around the corner.

Nice heatmap over PQC adoption in major protocols, security solutions. Not stated, but probably all use NIST ML-KEM and ML-DSA, not other PQC algorithms. Also there seems to be preference for hybrid solutions.

En man i Sydkorea har dömts till villkorligt fängelse för att ha undvikit sin militärtjänstgöring – genom att medvetet ha gått upp i vikt.

I don’t think the US government appreciates the degree to which Signal and end-to-end encryption has become a national security requirement — following the deep penetration of US telecoms by China.

Israel’s a nuclear power. Hamas should negotiate and cede territory.
Apparently that’s how this works.

The Prime Minister should make a statement, immediately, to confirm whether UK missiles have been fired into Russia. Full statement below.
