Tools for encryption and anonymity - Germany and Europe need to step up to their responsibility
Much of the funding of projects for the technical implementation of digital freedoms is threatened by the Trump Government. It is now time for Germany and Europe to step into the breach and provide adequate and sustainable funding for the development ecosystem. A commentary.
The continuing erosion of the political and legal protection of civil liberties has led to a situation where freedom of information and communication and the right to privacy and anonymity become increasingly dependent on technology. Digital self-defence has many facets: anonymisation tools such as Tor, end-to-end encryption such as WireGuard or Signal, securing website access with LetsEncrypt or the tools for reproducible builds, which ensure that the software you install has actually been created from source code that someone has checked for security holes. This ecosystem of software and infrastructure has grown exponentially since the Snowden revelations.
Many of these projects have one thing in common: Their development is funded by the US government, often with money from the Open Technology Fund (OTF). Some projects like Tor also receive money from the US State Department and other US government agencies. But why would the US government fund technology development that makes life difficult for the NSA intelligence agency?

Tracking You from a Thousand Miles Away!
#NrootTag
Apple’s Find My network, leveraging over a billion active Apple devices, is the world’s largest device-locating network. We investigate the potential misuse of this network to maliciously track Bluetooth devices. We present nRootTag, a novel attack method that transforms computers into trackable “AirTags” without requiring root privileges.
The attack achieves a success rate of over 90% within minutes at a cost of only a few US dollars. Or, a rainbow table can be built to search keys instantly. Subsequently, it can locate a computer in minutes, posing a substantial risk to user privacy and safety.
The attack is effective on Linux, Windows, and Android systems, and can be employed to track desktops, laptops, smartphones, and IoT devices. Our comprehensive evaluation demonstrates nRootTag’s effectiveness and efficiency across various scenarios.
