What happened
Collection of Schneier blog items highlighting multiple security and privacy concerns: France’s ANSSI will stop certifying products without quantum-resistant encryption (halt from 2027; procurement shift expected by 2030), accelerating post-quantum transition; discovery and analysis of a new class of weak RSA keys with many zero bits (badkeys project) that are found in the wild and are amenable to factoring attacks; a leaked database of ~1 million passports exposed via a compromised low-value ID verification system; advances in surveillance capabilities — Flock’s “vehicle fingerprint” that can
