during the #formosa talk at day1 of #realworldcrypto i see they reference signalapp/noise-c using some jade implementation for the pqkem. i wonder why don't the use the formally verified noise-star project instead?

"Snoopy", "Adolf" e "Password": le password del governo ungherese esposte online
Quasi 800 indirizzi e-mail del governo ungherese e le relative password stanno circolando online, rivelando vulnerabilitŠ di base nei protocolli di sicurezza dei ministeri coinvolti in attivitŠ classificate e sensibili.
Un’analisi di Bellingcat dei dati della violazione mostra che 12 dei 13 ministeri del governo sono stati colpiti, il che in alcuni casi ha rivelato le in…

I love my mastodon, but man do I love the Atmosphere and their protocols.

The Purpose of Protocols
Every open social protocol generates shared resources, but none has produced a governance framework adequate to those resources. So who fills that vacuum?

I was a guest on the Heavy Networking podcast, talking about routing performance and the recent improvements to the shortest path algorithm. A fun discussion for me at least https://packetpushers.net/podcasts/hea

US government, allies publish guidance on how to safely deploy AI agents
Cybersecurity agencies from the U.S. and allies issued a joint warning Friday on the risks of "agentic AI." The new guidance urges critical infrastructure leaders to implement zero-trust protocols as autonomous systems gain unmonitored access to sensitive networks.

Should we experiment some more with #runtimes and #protocols?
This is deliberately a very general question.
Drop your thoughts in replies, I'd love to exchange!

This article is interesting about thoughts of using flying networks to support military operations.
It is a complex system - and my sense is that they will screw it up with application specific protocols and APIs that evolve and change over time as as military events (the kind that go boom or are intentional forms of in-band attacks - think everything from hyper-phishing to spoofing to zero-day attacks).
But even if it were put together with the precision of a Swiss watch, my old…

We don't need 5 new incompatible protocols to let us build websites in a minimalist manner. You can literally just build a text-only website today with plain HTML. You don't even have to define a background color. If the point is to use technology intentionally, then simply do that.

After having taken some time off, I'm back to working on open source software and messing with open protocols.

I don't get it. I am not a frequent #AI user but do not reject it completely for now. Just casually checking some AI comments in some AI project makes me shudder.

There seems to be a new attempt to turn ActivityPub into some centralized monolithic thing with hard coded limited vocabularies. This is an attempt to have a new central power in social networking via the control of the vocabularies of the exchange protocols.
The argument is the same for the same attempt in the area of credentials and wallets: The format is sooo complex, we can't implement. Let's do a simple protocol instead. And BTW, protocol/format combinations are great, pl…
