End-to-End Encryption (E2E) is Dead. Killed By New Tech.

Using End-to-End encryption will no longer be a guaranteed safe method of communication. A new method will have to be invented as approaches using apps from Signal, Whatsapp, Telegram and others will no longer provide this safety. This is something the 3-Letter agencies have wanted for many years. And they have gotten their way.

I can see old hardware becoming quite valuable. Don't throw away your old phones and PCs, put them into storage like they're vintage cars or art collections.

[@terrydaktyllus1320]

I wish that were the case because I have a huge amount of old hardware due to being a Linux user who does a lot of PC salvage and repair. Unfortunately, if people turn away from these "snooping devices" (which they should do if they have at least half a brain) then the evil corporations will simply take the "snooping bits" out of the hardware, or find another more secretive way of snooping. In either case, they will just make new hardware and the lemmings will buy it.

I see several people commenting about the "sheep" who are defeatists and who give up citing that "it's no use". I agree with your frustration. But also consider how the opposition has demoralized people like us and our attempts. As somebody who is very privacy conscious, it can be exhausting when, after all, the opposition is constantly innovating and evolving to overcome our best privacy measures. To put it another way, Jason Bourne is one heck of a character who makes for one hell of a movie. Could you imagine if you were Jason Bourne and had to maintain that same level of intensity for every waking (and technically sleeping) moment of your life? It's not sustainable. At least not when you factor in all the other stressors and rigors of life. 1. Make a living 2. Pay all the bills as inflation continues to eat away at your spending power. 3. Look after your kids and/or other dependent family members. 4. Feed yourself and those dependents high-quality food (at a time where you are actively being poisoned by low-quality, contaminated, or adulterated food). A whole other rabbit hole to dive down (in addition to the privacy rabbit hole) as it becomes more difficult to identify "good food" to buy. 5. Acquire a living space that will allow you to grow at least some of your own food. 6. Learn how to grow your own food. 7. Become more self sufficient. Again, I am not proposing being a defeatist, but it is quite an undertaking as you can see how quickly life becomes a chain reaction of rabbit holes if we choose to go against the grain and still thrive.

@@notyouraveragegoldenpotato If you can encrypt your data on a device where there is no client side scanning and it is using a robust algorithm then sending it over the "compromised" networks should be fine assuming "they" don't have back doors to decrypt the data. This assumes you trust the black-box chips like the baseband modem in your device and its proprietary RTOS to not be spying on the memory of the device through the bus regardless of the top level OS running on the CPU. I don't, really, which is why I would like a device with a modem and a device for messaging that only connects when it needs to send encrypted chunks of data.

No, you need to put in time and effort into learning about putting privacy in place on the devices that you want to use. It's not someone else's responsibility to maintain your privacy, we're all too busy looking after our own privacy. All we can do is give you advice on how to copy us. If you're too lazy to implement that advice, that's your problem.

@@terrydaktyllus1320 What person would want open hardware specs if they don't have the time or energy to worry about their own privacy? If you think wanting open hardware is "lazy" you may misunderstand its usage.

This is an excellent video. I hope a lot of people put some serious thought into what all this means... I would suggest that we all start holding onto our old electronics ie: phones, tablets & laptops etc. I have a strange feeling we will be needing them more than ever with the way things are going. Our future is headed in quite a dangerous direction and we're headed there fast! Peace be amongst us all✌🏼

NPU scanning must eventually communicate the summary of the image content it observed. It will not take long for users to discover and catalog the IP addresses or domains used for this spyware. Use a VPN to trap and thwart the surveillance communications. How many days will it take for VPN vendors to offer this service?

[@robbraxmantech]

The data will be stored on your machine. The communications would be enabled when you use CoPilot. Obviously CoPilot will have network traffic. However the secret part of this is that since the data is on your machine, an external party can just ask Copilot if your device contains certain content and a local AI could determine this and just have Copilot acknowledge with "Yes". And you're zucked.

I have noticed for years that everything I type is being monitored! The delay in typing showing up, even on local software. shows that they are either passing it through the web or copying it for future download.

[@terrydaktyllus1320]

It could, of course, just be that your PC is crap and bottlenecking. Or Windows has become too fat and bloated and just needs re-installation. The simplest answers are usually the right ones. I would suggest that you learn how to use Wireshark and capture what (if anything) your PC sends out onto the network when you press keys on your keyboard, that would possibly show some actual proof of what otherwise is probably paranoia on your part.

[@ТоварищКамрадовСоциалистКоммун]

Secure enclave, hardware messaging wallet with led screen. The phone app still give you notifications that you have recieved messages, so you can connect the device to your smart phone over usb-C, nothing on this device can be wireless. The encrypted message is transfered from the mesaaging app to the device, decryped & displayed on the led display. When powered off all memory of decrypts is lost, as nothing can be stored on the device its just a basic Rom.

Couldn't find you on Twitter. Had a very strange experience yesterday. I was in a certain city. My phone is always in a faraday bag. This city is maybe 40 miles from a nuclear power plant. My radio was off. I was driving home and radio came on and there was this high pitched staticky very loud noise from my speakers. I looked, and saw the radio was on so I turned it off. No dice. I finally pulled over, shut off the engine and restarted and it stopped. Today I turn on the radio and everything is fine. Was I attacked?

It’s hard to think governments are pushing companies to do anything really - they are profit driven and can bend rules as well as lobby them for change - in this case to me, looks like a confluence of interests. It’s just more practical that we are just the new source of AI training material that would be hard to get with all that encryption in place.

[@glasslinger]

Use a separate computer ONLY for internet access. Do your data prep on another computer where it is encrypted. Transfer the resulting file to the internet computer where it is sent. Other end, does the same thing. They can watch your internet computer all they want.

[@bite-sizedshorts9635]

And in the future, they will jail you if they find a message they can't read. The only sure way is to make sure the government doesn't even know a message exists. In other words some form of steganography, but not with the usual photo or other computer files. The government can already spot and crack those.

You don't need AI to do that. Every textbox displayed on Android is usually created through google's android graphical api. If google decided to record these texts, it would be able to detect keywords that it would send back home. E2E would work as intended but the resulting data would be shown. To counter that signal whatsapp, ... would have to act similar to games and create it's own graphical engine using some lower level api like OpenGL or something

[@jooch_exe]

Telegram doesn't have E2E by default. I've been using that since forever. If the information is sensitive there are far better platforms.

Secure communication concept: Keyboard inputs are intercepted to type like the enigma machine - time based cypher via encryption key. AI translation glasses which translate your enigmaesque text on screen back into your language. Recipient with the decryption key and glasses to read messages with their AI glasses. ZeroTier with regularly rotated private root server architecture. Separate key exchange channel, sometimes. Additional security. Pseudorandomly generated rapid keystrokes being audibly played while typing occurs to make audio key id more difficult. Pseudorandom delay in keystrokes on screen to make time based key id more difficult. Junk data added to output text to make text structure decoding more difficult. Text length padding up to frequently updated block sizes. Frequent honey pot text substitution to make mid-decryption more difficult. Frequent encryption key rotation Frequent cypher enigma rotation Frequent = 100ms-200ms (dynamically pseudorandom) Frequent whitelisted IP rotation with any expired ip or probing disabling communication. Note: Even with all that there's no such thing as permanently secure communication. Not online, not with quantum encryption, not in person in a park, not at the bottom of the ocean, not in space. It doesn't matter what digital or analogue methods are used, all communication can be surveilled and that's never going to change.

[@BeOnlyChaos]

Linux would work as well as your external device idea. In Signal, you can't see who a person is talking to, so unless you already know this in advance, you can't just get the data from the recipient.

What do you mean that apple scans photos? Isn't icloud supposed to be e2e encrypted?

[@atlasz911]

Well, two phones. One without SIM and wifi access. Just a single bluetooth/nfc/ir channel open. App encrypts the message and passes it over to the "connected" phone. That phone has a companion app that forwards the message via Signal or other platform. If your app has exclusive control about the only available communication channel than not much leaves the phone. The problem is ensuring that no other communication channel is activated by a malicious sw.

[@nomdeguerre7265]

And exactly how will they be able to determine there's an encrypted communication in a payload? There are numerous ways to encrypt data in an embedded or attached file before it is attached or embedded. Some of these cannot be 'cracked' without access to the key. So these folks are going to scan every attached or embedded image or audio file to try to determine if there's potentially encrypted data in it? I don't think so.
