• 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 cloudstorage seems to mess it up, often in new and creative ways. Our specialguests 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.Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/sizLiK_byCwTranscript: https://securitycryptographywhatever.com/2025/05/19/e2ee-storage/Links:- https://brokencloudstorage.info- https://eprint.iacr.org/2024/1616.pdf- https://www.sync.com- https://www.pcloud.com- https://icedrive.net- https://seafile.com- https://tresorit.com- https://eprint.iacr.org/2024/989.pdf"Security Cryptography Whatever" is hosted by Deirdre Connolly (@durumcrustulum), Thomas Ptacek (@tqbf), and David Adrian (@davidcadrian)

• 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."Security Cryptography Whatever" is hosted by Deirdre Connolly (@durumcrustulum), Thomas Ptacek (@tqbf), and David Adrian (@davidcadrian)

• 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.And now due to popular demand, with video of our actual human¹ faces! https://youtu.be/Pqw0W2crQiMTranscript: https://securitycryptographywhatever.com/2025/01/20/bidens-cyber-everything-bagel-carole-house/Links:- https://www.federalregister.gov/d/2025-01470- https://www.wired.com/story/biden-executive-order-cybersecurity-ai-and-more/- 2022 EO: https://archive.ph/hvzWd- 2023 EO: https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/M-23-16-Update-to-M-22-18-Enhancing-Software-Security-1.pdf- 2021 EO: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2021/05/17/2021-10460/improving-the-nations-cybersecurity- NIST SSDF: https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/SpecialPublications/NIST.SP.800-218.pdf- https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2015/04/02/2015-07788/blocking-the-property-of-certain-persons-engaging-in-significant-malicious-cyber-enabled-activities- IEEPA: https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/USCODE-2023-title50/pdf/USCODE-2023-title50-chap35-sec1701.pdf¹ Actual human faces not guaranteed in all cases"Security Cryptography Whatever" is hosted by Deirdre Connolly (@durumcrustulum), Thomas Ptacek (@tqbf), and David Adrian (@davidcadrian)
