It's been clear for some time that the FBI and DOJ's overly dramatic calls for encryption backdoors are unwarranted. Law enforcement still has plenty of options to deal with device encryption and end-to-end encrypted messaging services. Multiple reports have shown encryption is rarely an obstacle to investigations. And for all the noise the FBI has made about its supposedly huge stockpile of locked devices, it still has yet to hand over an accurate count of devices in its possession, more than two years after it discovered it had been using an inflated figure to back its "going dark" hysteria for months.

An ongoing criminal case discussed by Thomas Forbes for Fortune provides more evidence law enforcement is not only finding ways to bypass device encryption, but access contents of end-to-end encrypted messages. This isn't the indictment of Signal (a popular encrypted messaging service) it first appears to be, though. The access point was the iPhone in law enforcement's possession which, despite still being locked, was subjected to a successful forensic extraction.

In the Signal chats obtained from one of [the suspect's] phones, they discuss not just weapons trades but attempted murder too, according to documents filed by the Justice Department. Theres also some metadata in the screenshots, which indicates not only that Signal had been decrypted on the phone, but that the extraction was done in partial AFU. That latter acronym stands for after first unlock and describes an iPhone in a certain state: an iPhone that is locked but that has been unlocked once and not turned off. An iPhone in this state is more susceptible to having data inside extracted because encryption keys are stored in memory.

Seizing a phone in this vulnerable state allows investigators to obtain evidence from "locked" phones by using forensic tools like those sold by Cellebrite and Grayshift. Signal's encryption works. But that encryption doesn't matter -- not if law enforcement has access to the device. Encryption protects against message interception but even the strongest forms of encryption can't secure communications on a partially unlocked device. In this state, it's as simple as hooking up a phone to an extraction device and letting the device do the work.

It's not clear which forensic option was used, but it does show encryption isn't making phones and communications "warrant-proof." A locked device (rather than one in an "after first unlock") is going to be tougher to crack, but it's far from impossible. And if it is indeed impossible, a wealth of information can be recovered from cloud backups, unencrypted communications platforms, social media services, and any number of third parties that collect information and location data from cellphone users. In only the rarest cases will investigators have almost nothing to work with.

Even in those cases, there are options. Investigators can roll the dice on Fifth Amendment challenges and hope a court orders arrestees to unlock their devices. They can also seek consent to a search -- something that's never a one-and-done thing when law enforcement has both suspects and their devices in its possession.

This case shows multiple layers of encryption are mainly a hassle at this point. It's enough to keep people's devices secure in case of loss or theft, but it's not much of an impediment to investigators with powerful forensic tools at their disposal.

Gun Trafficking Investigation Shows The FBI Is Still Capable Of Accessing Communications On Encrypted Devices - Techdirt

Industry Security Notice Number 2020/07

Subject: Encryption of MODII at rest

The UK Defence Supply Base stores, processes, and forwards a significant amount of MOD Identifiable Information (MODII) in digital formats, for which encryption at rest is required.

This ISN 2020/07 provides interim clarification of the use of Off The Shelf (OTS) products to provide encryption, whilst the MOD and National approaches to endorsement of products and services is reviewed.

This ISN 2020/07 supersedes - ISN 2020/03 and ISN 2018/02, which was issued on 26 April 2018.

It will be noted that all products in ISN 2018/02 which are either:

Where and when members of the UK Defence Supply Base need to encrypt MOD material in digital formats, they shall follow the stipulations below, in respect of:

Product Selection

Product Use

Security Breaches

The following generic scenarios for encryption at rest are identified:

Digital Storage Media & Devices (DSMD), comprising of:

Internal Storage Drives (ISD)

Removable Storage Media & Devices (RSMD), in particular:

a. External Storage Drives (ESD)

b. Flash Storage Devices [footnote 1] (FSD)

c. Optical Storage Media [footnote 2](OSM)

d. Individual Files & Folders (IFF)

The need to encrypt will vary depending on the specific scenario; for instance the presumption for portable equipments tends to needing encryption, whereas the presumption for servers in protected data centres will tend to not needing encryption.

It should be noted that although this ISN 2020/07 relates to Data At Rest (DAR) protection, the IFF option differs from DSMD in that it can also be used to protect MOD material when being forwarded on RSMD, both as email attachments, and within shared storage scenarios such as cloud. This use of DAR encryption for attachments and shared storage differs from Data In Motion (DIM) protection, which relates to the encryption of the communication media itself.

In all cases where DAR encryption is used to protect information being forwarded, the encryption key or password shall be securely transmitted by separate means to that used for the encrypted material.

At present MOD recognises two types of legacy Endorsement for encryption products for Digital Storage Media & Devices:

Approved - evaluation and certification by NCSC [footnote 3]

Acceptable - evaluated by the Technical Authorities of another nation and/or approved by the former DIPCOG [footnote 4]

Where multiple options to protect MOD material exist, the presumption shall be that an approved solution is preferred over an acceptable solution for any new acquisition, and any variation from this presumption must be explicitly agreed with the risk owner.

Annex A provides a summary of such legacy endorsements currently retained for products that are still available and maintained. This will continue to apply until both NCSC and MOD approval processes mature, after which an updated ISN will be issued as appropriate.

It is recognised that there may be a requirement to use products that are not included at Annex A, and in such cases encryption products that have not been through any approval process may be considered if there is sufficient justification for doing so and the risks associated with them have been assessed, managed and agreed as part of the Accreditation process. When choosing such a product, it is recommended that only those carrying an official certification of evaluation from a trusted organisation, such as the legacy CSIA [footnote 5] Claims Tested Mark (CCT Mark), or FIPS-140 assurance under the Crypto Module Validation Program (CMVP), are considered for use.

In all cases, the selection of encryption products should be documented in the Risk Management and Accreditation Document Set (RMADS). Use of products not on the list must be highlighted to the relevant Risk Owner for a decision.

Where continued use of existing products that are no longer still available and/or maintained is planned, and/or the platform which they protect is either obsolescent or obsolete, this must be highlighted to the relevant Risk Owner for a decision.

Once encrypted, the MOD material must still be protected in accordance with all relevant control measures for the classification.

Some encryption products, especially those at High Grade (HG), will force compliance to a password of set length and complexity, whereas others will allow the user a certain amount of flexibility. Current NCSC guidance on passwords advocates balancing risk against a simpler approach to password management.

Password complexity should be set appropriately against requirement; a longer more complex password may be appropriate for any DMSD that is to be sent to an external party using a shared password, whereas a more memorable passphrase may be used when retained within a secure environment. Shared passwords should be transported and secured separately from the media with which it is associated.

It is stressed that the selection and usage of an approved or accepted generic product or service cannot be assumed to cover all risk in specific instances, and furthermore that endorsements are given at a particular moment in time. It is therefore important to:

Consider the product or service in the context in which it is to be used

Ensure that the product or service is clearly identified within evidence given to any independent authorising party (for Defence and much of Defence Industry, typically the accreditor)

Maintain the product or service throughout its lifecycle

Monitor for disclosed vulnerabilities

Share any encountered problems, and in particular susceptibilities, with relevant colleagues, include MOD through the Defence Industry WARP (DefIndWARP)

All confirmed or suspected breaches involving MOD information must be accurately and quickly reported to your Security Officer, in line with your company procedures, for onward transmission as necessary to DefIndWARP. The report should include details of quantities, location(s), overall classification (taking into account aggregation) and any handling instructions or need-to-know restrictions.

This ISN 2020/07 will expire when superseded or withdrawn.

Signal is a messaging app that's become popular for its security. Every message you send on Signal is protected with end-to-end encryption, meaning that no one can intercept it and breach your privacy.

But despite this encryption, if someone manages to get into your phone, they'll be able to read all your Signal messages freely. That is, unless you enable some of Signal's more advanced privacy options.

Here's how to adjust your privacy settings on Signal to better protect yourself, and beef up Signal's already substantial security.

Though most of Signal's privacy settings are the same on iOS and Android, there are a few settings unique to each operating system.

To get started, open Signal and tap your account avatar at the top-left of the screen. Then tap "Privacy."

Judging by the the simplistic way encryption is so often discussed you'd be forgiven for thinking that the technology is only used by two very specific kinds of people: the worst villains and the best heroes.

The National Crime Agency whose director of threat leadership has just come out with a wide-ranging attack on the technology naturally concentrates its fire on the worst people in society. Rob Jones was speaking after the jailing of a prolific paedophile, and suggested that such convictions would not be possible if Facebook presses ahead with plans to better secure the conversations in its messages.

At the other end of the spectrum are the human rights, press freedom and civil liberty groups that strongly encourage the use of such technologies. They argue that weakening encryption will mean that journalists and activists who have a complicated relationship with the state and other powerful actors will come under threat.

They are both correct. Encryption protects everyone who uses it; as a technology, it has no care for whether it is protecting messages sent by abusers or dissenters. That's because all encryption really does is is make sure that messages aren't intercepted on their way between their sender and recipient; technically, it means that messages are illegible unless you are meant to be able to see them.

That's why concentrating on those extreme ends of the argument will inevitably leavethe vast majority those who use their phones primarily to chat with friends or check their bank balance with little interest or representation in the argument.

The fact is that for every person at the extremes, there are millions of people for whom encryption ensures they remain safe. Every bank transfer that is safe from being intercepted, every message conversation that isn't snooped on, every sensitive picture that is not seen by hackers or spies is thanks to the technology underpinning encryption.

All of those cases need to be part of the argument. Do we agree that it is good our conversations are protected, even if that extends to conversations that we don't think should be happening? Or do we think that it is worth giving up some privacy to make it easier for police and intelligence agencies to do their job? From the way the argument is conducted at the moment, it would be hard to know.

This is not to say that there is no place for those extreme arguments. How well protected our conversations should be, and whether we want to give up that security for safety through surveillance, is one of the most profound arguments there is.

But if we only talk at the extremes, we miss almost every way that encryption is used. Whichever way we ultimately decide the argument should fall, it must be done with the normal people whose lives it will affect in mind.

Encryption underpins every part of our life; there is no way in which it is a niche technology. The argument over its use should not confine itself to niches either.

ANTUSDTANTUSDTANTUSDT

LONDON, Feb. 10, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Recently, Army Ant has announced the release of its encryption mixer (coin shuffle), ANTUSDT.

"Weak Anonymity" vs. "Black Money", which one would users prefers? Digital currency is actually not completely anonymous (pseudo-anonymity), so the encryption mixer was born ANTUSDT.

The digital currency address will not be linked to a real identity in real life, but if it is not done properly, it will. People can trace back to a particular transaction by associating multiple nodes in the blockchain, and then through the analysis of blockchain data and KYC/AML data, people can know who sent the transaction, and even include more details, such as location, reason of the transaction and so on.

The principle of coin shuffle:

What is coin shuffle?

Speaking of digital currency, it is easy to think of its two characteristics, one is decentralization, the other is anonymity. But the anonymity of cryptocurrencies is limited.

Although real-name authentication is not required, and the users real identity cannot be matched by the address, the transaction on the blockchain is public. If someone deliberately looks for it, some clues can also be found through big data analysis, unless everyone is like Satoshi Nakamoto who is as cautious as possible. However, there is a service that can provide users with sufficiently high privacy protection, that is, coin shuffle services.

Coin shuffle, as the name implies, is to mix coins from different issuing addresses and then send them out. Through this process, the correspondence between the output address and input address of a transaction is cut off, thereby better protecting the privacy of users.

In fact, the process of coin shuffle is like a lot of people throwing coins into the wishing pool. If everyone throws in coins of 1 yuan, then people can know how many 1-yuan coins who throws in at what time, but when the staff cleans these coins and sorts them out, people cannot tell which coin was thrown in by whom.

Story continues

Since the Bitcoin blockchain is a public ledger, it records every transaction on the Bitcoin network, and after coin shuffle, it is impossible to know which incoming transaction should correspond to which outgoing transaction. It is difficult to find out where and how much the cryptocurrency of the trader is stored, which protects user privacy to the greatest extent.

Under normal circumstances, coin shuffle for multiple times, with a small number of coins each time, is better.

Conclusion:

Coin shuffle is a privacy protection function, and coin shuffle transactions are difficult to track. The funds are mixed with the funds of other users, and a random relationship is created between the existing user's account system and the new account after coin shuffle. This mechanism can realize the anonymity of transactions and the anonymity of all services.

ANTUSDT platform advantages

According to market research, all coin mixers on the market are open to merchants, and ANTUSDT is the only coin mixer that is open to merchants and retail investors.

ANTUSDT's business scope also includes: cryptocurrency collection agenting, payment agenting, coining cash lending, coining currency borrowing, multi-country and multi-platform acceptance, etc.

How does ANTUSDT coin shuffle make profit

Merchants need to use the corresponding currency, retail merchants supply and merchants use, and merchants give corresponding commissions (to ensure that the fund pool has sufficient spare assets to provide and withdraw coins, every coin shuffle requires the user to actively authorize it, only by obtaining the user's authorization can assets can assist in coin shuffle.

Cooperative merchants have paid a deposit equivalent to 25 BTC and a full liquidity deposit of more than 5 times to ensure zero risk in ANTUSDT business.

Introduction of ANTUSDT rules

Ordinary users can earn coin shuffle commissions by participating in two-coin shuffle methods through a single authorization.

ANTUSDT cross-chain coin shuffle

ANTUSDT creates a large-scale coin shuffle pool, which gathers the most circulating currencies on the market.

Join the cross-chain coin shuffle via authorization, their assets will be mixed with hundreds of thousands of cryptocurrencies around the world. Through countless asset interactions, the traces of funds of participating users can be completely concealed to achieve the effect that the ocean can bleach ink.

ANTUSDT has a large number of cooperative merchants. The coin shuffle pool can handle a large number of assets with privacy requirements 24 hours a day, and provide encrypted whereabouts and currency exchange services for assets. Every time ordinary users are authorized to participate in cross-chain coin shuffle, they can obtain the commission earned by the coin shuffle pool.

Reciprocating acceptance coin shuffle

Join reciprocating acceptance coin shuffle via authorization, their assets will be on standby at any time for major merchants to call, during which their assets may switch between various currencies. After applying for the call, the user needs to press the "Re-exchange" button in the order on the coin shuffle details page.

Large merchants will restore their assets to the original digital currency within the specified time and pay the corresponding commission.

In the fiat currency world, this problem can be traced back to a real legal case in the 17th century. The conclusion of the case is that-if users receive a banknote involved in theft, the police will later investigate that the banknote was stolen and traded several times before it reaches their hand. In this case, the police have no right to take this banknote from their account. The same is true for digital currencies. What does it matter if users receive a coin that is not stolen by them?

Army Ant Limited Announces the Release of Its Encryption Mixer ANTUSDT - Yahoo Finance

Dublin, Feb. 11, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Quantum Communications in Space" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The modern world more and more relies on information exchange using data transfer technologies.

Private and secure communications are fundamental for the Internet, national defence and e-commerce, thus justifying the need for a secure network with the global protection of data. Information exchange through existing data transfer channels is becoming prone to hacker attacks causing problems on an international scale, such as interference with democratic elections, etc.

In reality the scale of the "hacking" problem is continual, in 2019 British companies were reportedly hit by about 5,000 "ransomware" attacks that paid out more than $200 million to cyber criminals [1]. During the first half of 2020, $144.2 million has already been lost in 11 of the biggest ransomware attacks [2]. Communications privacy is therefore of great concern at present.

The reasons for the growing privacy concerns are [3]: the planned increase of secure information (requiring encryption) data traffic rates from the current 10 to future 100 Gbit/s; annual increases in data traffic of 20-25% and the application of fibre optic cables not only for mainstream network lines by also for the "final mile" to the end-user. These developments are accompanied by [3]: growing software vulnerabilities; more powerful computational resources available to hackers at lower costs; possible quantum computer applications for encryption cracking and the poor administration of computer networks.

Conventional public key cryptography relies on the computational intractability of certain mathematical functions.

Applied conventional encryption algorithms (DH, RSA, ECDSA TLS/SSL, HTTPS, IPsec, X.509) are good in that there is currently no way to find the key (with a sufficient length) for any acceptable time. Nevertheless, in principle it is possible, and there are no guarantees against the discovery in the future of a fast factorization algorithm for classical computers or from the implementation of already known algorithms on a quantum computer, which will make conventional encryption "hacking" possible. Another "hacking" strategy involves original data substitution. A final vulnerability comes from encryption keys being potentially stolen. Hence, the demand exists for a truly reliable and convenient encryption system.

Quantum communications are expected to solve the problem of secure communications first on international and national scales and then down to the personal level.

Quantum communication is a field of applied quantum physics closely related to quantum information processing and quantum teleportation [4]. It's most interesting application is protecting information channels against eavesdropping by means of quantum cryptography [4].

Quantum communications are considered to be secure because any tinkering with them is detectable. Thus, quantum communications are only trustful and safe in the knowledge that any eavesdropping would leave its mark.

By quantum communications two parties can communicate secretly by sharing a quantum encryption key encoded in the polarization of a string of photons.

This quantum key distribution (QKD) idea was proposed in the mid-1980s [5]. QKD theoretically offers a radical new way of an information secure solution to the key exchange problem, ensured by the laws of quantum physics. In particular, QKD allows two distant users, who do not share a long secret key initially, to generate a common, random string of secret bits, called a secret key.

Using the one-time pad encryption, this key has been proven to be secure [6] to encrypt/decrypt a message, which can then be transmitted over a standard communication channel. The information is encoded in the superposition states of physical carriers at a single-quantum level, where photons, the fastest traveling qubits, are usually used. Any eavesdropper on the quantum channel attempting to gain information of the key will inevitably introduce disturbance to the system that can be detected by the communicating users.
