Google's Present to Enterprise Gmail Users: End-to-End Encryption

Image: Google All enterprise users of Gmail can now easily apply end-to-end encryption to their emails. Prior to today, this was a luxury reserved for big businesses with significant IT resources, but Google recognises that email attacks are on the rise across the board. Starting today, Gmail users can send end-to-end encrypted emails to others within their organisation; in the coming weeks, they will also be able to send encrypted emails to Gmail inboxes outside…

iPhone-Android: A Major Privacy Upgrade is Coming Soon

Image: vinnikava/Envato Elements Cross-platform encrypted messaging between iPhone and Android is coming soon, thanks to updated Rich Communication Services (RCS) standards. The GSM Association has announced that the latest RCS specifications now include end-to-end encryption based on the Messaging Layer Security protocol. This breakthrough, initially teased back in September, will finally allow secure, encrypted messaging between different mobile platforms. This is a huge privacy win — end-to-end encryption (E2EE) means nobody else can see your…

NIST's New Post-Quantum Cryptography Standards Announced

The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology this week unveiled three encryption algorithms designed to resist cyberattacks, which industry observers said are a positive step toward preventing cyberattacks that break current encryption methods. The Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 203, 204, and 205 provide standards for general encryption and protecting digital signatures. They were derived from multiple submissions in NIST’s post-quantum cryptography standardization project. Quantum computers are rapidly increasing the ability for high-performance computing,…

Beyond encryption: The zero-knowledge revolution for personal data

The organizations underpinning our most crucial societal functions, from financial and educational institutions to healthcare companies, suffer regularly from data breaches. This jeopardizes not just privacy, but critical day-to-day operations as the average breach results in $4.45M in financial losses. While zero-knowledge architecture has already gained traction in the security sphere, now is the time for all industries to bolster the protection of user data as threats targeting industries like finance, retail and transportation multiply…

Rethinking network and security monitoring in the age of TLS 1.3

The adoption of the Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.3 creates a watershed moment for cybersecurity, revolutionizing encryption and data protection standards. TLS has been widely used to secure data end-to-end for many decades. Though this latest version significantly enhances the security of the TLS protocol, it also severely limits the decryption of those data streams for cybersecurity and network monitoring purposes. This results in our current forms of network and security monitoring used with previous…

New GoFetch Vulnerability in Apple's M Chips Allows Secret Keys Leak on Compromised Computers

The newly exposed GoFetch vulnerability affecting Apple’s M1, M2 and M3 chips lets an attacker exfiltrate secret keys from cryptographic applications on a targeted system. The exploit works by running a fraudulent process on the same CPU cluster as the targeted process on the targeted machine. No easy mitigation currently exists for this vulnerability, as it resides in the hardware. What is the GoFetch vulnerability? GoFetch is a cache side-channel vulnerability. This type of vulnerability…
