Messaging applications are increasingly making use of end-to-end security mechanisms to ensure that messages are only accessible to the communicating endpoints, and not to any servers involved in delivering messages. Establishing keys to provide such protections is challenging for group chat settings, in which more than two clients need to agree on a key but may not be online at the same time. In this document, we specify a key establishment protocol that provides efficient asynchronous group key establishment with forward secrecy (FS) and post-compromise security (PCS) for groups in size ranging from two to thousands.

The decentralized web, or Web3, has several key characteristics that differentiate it from Web2. Here are seven core principles that define the decentralized web and their associated benefits.

Both the optimum lifetime of a token and the required data must be thoroughly considered when designing JSON Web Tokens.

Intel has signalled the end-of-life for its low-cost NUC mini-server line of PCs, which means Scale Computing will have to find a replacement edge system hardware supplier. And it’s found one: Simply NUC. NUC is Intel’s grandly named Next Unit of Compute, a small form-factor PC which has a 4-inch by 4-inch board inside with […]

Red Hat has once again dropped another huge boulder into the normally serene – or at least relatively calm – open source waters. Back in December 2020 it killed off the CentOS distribution that lives downstream from Red Hat Enterprise Linux and created the CentOS Stream variant that lives upstream where bugs are not yet
