VaultSort now encrypts your Mac's files with Touch ID 🔐

Under the hood: a rebuilt V4 format. Every file is locked to a secret sealed inside your hardware — your Secure Enclave or a YubiKey, never a password. Steal the file and our entire credential store, and you still get nothing.

We also published a free encryption whitepaper: threat model, the full algorithm chain, and what it doesn't protect against. No email.

VaultSort now allows you to encrypt your files with your fingerprint.

This week: WhatsApp patched a flaw where a single crafted message could make your phone load content from an attacker’s URL. And India’s Telegram ban is now reaching users in the UAE too, a national court order cutting off people in another country entirely.

Two different problems, same root cause: centralized apps are both attack surfaces and single points of control.

No server, no surface to exploit, nothing to ban.

#Canada Is Forging Ahead with Its Dangerous #Surveillance Bill

With no serious debate, including on proposed amendments, Canada is blazing full speed ahead with Bill C-22, which would threaten #encryption and increase surveillance. Also known as the Lawful Access Bill, Bill C-22 is currently moving forward quickly to a vote despite the many, many criticisms civil liberty groups and the tech industry have hurled at it.

UK device-scanning proposal for nude image detection draws Signal criticism over mandatory on-device inspection and expanded age verification across phones and apps. 📱
Signal warns the plan risks normalizing client-side surveillance and weakening private communication protections under encrypted messaging systems. 🔐

Canada’s Bill C-22 would force every messenger to build a backdoor or leave the country. Signal said it will leave. NordVPN too. Apple said it will never comply.

The government calls it “lawful access.” Every security researcher calls it a vulnerability.

No server means no backdoor to demand. That’s not a workaround, it’s the architecture.

Remember Friends:

You cannot both have secure end-to-end encryption to protect your communication AND also have a backdoor/key/access only for "the good guys."

This is not possible.
Do not believe anyone telling you otherwise.

End-to-end encryption protects us all,
we must fight to keep it ✊🔒

#Privacy #Encryption #E2EE #RootForE2EE

Anyone asserting encryption is a tool for crime is either painfully misinformed or is attempting to manipulate legislators to gain oppressive power over the people.

Encryption is not a crime,
encryption is a shield.

Encryption protects you from cyberattack, identity theft, discrimination, doxxing, stalking, sexual violence, physical harm, and much more.

For safety, for privacy, for democracy, and for all our human rights, it's critical that we defend our right to encryption.

WhatsApp Clone, but Decentralized with P2P Messaging

App: https://Enkrypted.Chat

"Secure and private" is the general goal.

This is a technical/concept demo of a fairly unique approach using a browser-based, local-first and webrtc.

This is intended to introduce a new paradigm in client-side managed secure cryptography. We can avoid registration of any sort.

Features:

* P2P
* End to end encryption
* Signal protocol
* Post-Quantum cryptography
* File transfer
* Local-first
* No registration
* No installation
* No database
* TURN server

Feel free to reach out for clarity instead of diving into the docs/code.

IMPORTANT: While this is aiming to provide a secure experience, it isnt audited or reviewed. **Shared for testing, feedback and demo purposes only.** Please use responsibly.

We want Zerion independently audited. A real security audit is how a privacy app proves itself, because code should speak louder than marketing, and we’d rather be checked than believed.

Audits cost money, and we’re independent, so we’re asking for help. Every bit genuinely counts, no amount is too small, and it all goes toward getting Zerion properly reviewed.

If you believe in what we’re building, you can support it here:

Zerion 2.0.3 is out, sooner than we planned. We pushed it forward because it brings real stability fixes and improvements to voice and video calling, and that felt worth getting into your hands fast.

Play Store and F-Droid are still pending review, but you can grab the APK directly from GitHub right now:

Switching from #WhatsApp / #Telegram to #Signal, or other centralized chat apps, is not a solution if you really care about #privacy, #resilience and #autonomy / #digitalindependence

all of them are centralized services and depend on phone numbers, which makes them super easy to censor, the best services are the one that don't require any personal data at all to register, like ArcaneChat

#Signal Alums Reveal ‘#EncryptedSpaces,’ a System for Making Private Collaboration Apps

https://www.wired.com/story/signal-alums-release-encrypted-spaces-a-new-system-for-building-private-collaboration-apps/

#privacy #cybersecurity #encryption #FOSS

We wrote an honest comparison of Zerion against Signal, WhatsApp, Telegram, Threema, Wire, Session, Cwtch and Tox.

Honest meaning: Signal gets credit for pioneering post-quantum key exchange, Cwtch is genuinely close in spirit, and each app is the right call for some threat model.

Where Zerion stands alone: post-quantum encryption on every single message, and everything (including calls) over Tor.

"End-to-end encryption, in which data is encoded so that only users on either “end” of a conversation can decrypt their communications—and not the server that relays that information or any other interloper—has become the standard for modern privacy on the internet. But its very name suggests a kind of simple pipe with two openings. The metaphor, and often the encryption technology that has enabled that model, doesn't fit neatly onto the world of Slack, Discord, Google Docs, and the other multiuser, complex, collaborative software where people now live and work.

So one group of cryptographers has built what they describe as the foundation for a new generation of end-to-end encrypted apps, with a new metaphor: Instead of a mere pipe, they want to create “spaces” where users can hold group conversations, host information on a server, collectively make changes to it, invite in new collaborators or kick them out, all while maintaining the same strong encryption protections that prevent the server or network eavesdroppers from accessing their data.

That cryptographer team, including contributors from Harvard, Microsoft Research, and former developers of the end-to-end encrypted messenger Signal, today release a “preview” of Encrypted Spaces, an early version of a set of open-source code libraries, which is part of an architecture they've designed to allow anyone to easily build a rigorously end-to-end encrypted app that nonetheless enables all of the complex collaboration features that users demand from software today."
