given that a lot of symmetric encryption is hardware accelerated (those bluray discs use AES), and is highly secure (even vs quantum computing, if you use aes-256), there is little to no reason to use anything else unless you have :tinfoil: opinions about nist approved encryption.

I find it so bizarre that they're publicly tweeting about so much internal stuff.

we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.
everything is very slowly catching fire around them and no one knows who even works there anymore. it's possible the people responsible for off-boarding, themselves, have been sacked. it's almost certainly an opsec nightmare.

i look forward to more internal stories as severances are paid (or not, as the case may be)

didn’t people say the staff responsible for office keycards got sacked, resulting in a brief lockout

apparently some danish scientists did a quantum encryption of a video signal that detects tampering/eavesdropping

requires direct fiber connection though, so not very practical

i thought they got quantum encryption up to 10mbits/sec like a decade ago (again, over a direct fiber connection) which would be more than enough for a reasonable video signal

idk if i came off hostile or what in my reply but reading it again it kinda sounds a little hostile so i wanna clarify something: i was mostly just weirdly excited, because you posting that actually reminded me of the thing from years ago, and of how reading about that specific experiment really was the thing that got me into cryptography. brought back a lot of memories i had forgotten :3:

after reading about that i wrote my own UNHACKABLE ENCRYPTION PROGRAM!!! that would just xor text with whatever else you supplied as key material, which i'm sure plenty of people here did when they were younger, but i feel that mine was extra special because i didn't know how to, y'know, manipulate bytes and bits at all at this point, so i made my own "binary" encoding scheme and had a look-up table that would translate letters, numbers, and a few punctuation marks into (i think 6-bit?) "binary", and by binary i mean arrays of 6 integers that each either stored the number 1 or the number 0 :allears:

hehe don't worry about it

before I understood binary, I filled out squares on graph paper from c64 sprites to figure out where the numbers came from, and I think I got pretty close to brute forcing it before I found a description somewhere lol

One of the recent G20 in Trieste had a demo of a quantum videoconference in-between Lubiana, Fiume/Rijeka and Trieste (using a direct fiber connection). Sponsored by TIM-Sparkle.

Microsoft purview does understand all the PII data we elaborate minus one type(which we manage/hunt for using a different method that will dox me 100% if i explain it here). As it is it will trigger quarantine pretty much immediately and all audits of the 365 groups/personal onedrive used by the staffers that handle pii have shown no leaks.
