I have a medium-sized team (~10 people, but we expect to grow) that manages a set of EC2 servers on AWS (currently a few dozens, but this is also expected to grow).
As EC2 requires you to have an AWS generated private SSH key, without a …
Why was the decision taken that the Client doesn’t need to be able to parse the access token?
It seems to me that if the token included, in addition to the current fields, a client_id and a user_id, it would make life much simpler, prevent…
I received several automated emails at an early hour from several data brokers (e.g., Spokeo) asking me to confirm an opt-out for my email address and name. I did not request these, but did so about 2 years ago from most data brokers, and…

Can I do something like:
gpg –public-key my.pub -e file.txt
If I can, any reason that I should not do that?
P/s: I think I don’t need to know about the recipient because my machine only has one public key at a time.
But that key wil…
I know, that one can force GnuPG to use AES256 for encryption with
gpg –cipher-algo AES256
or with a special setting in ~/.gnu/gpg.conf.
But, what is the default cypher algorithm for GnuPG, if I would miss this switch?
I read in the OWASP cheat sheet regarding certificate / public-key pinning that “Google rotates its certificates … about once a month … [but] the underlying public keys … remain static”.
Increasing the fre…
As far as I know, Curve25519 offers “only” a security level equal to an 128bit symmetric cipher.
I’d like to know if there are new (not NIST) curves, which provide a security-level comparable to a 256bit cipher AND already used by some app…
I’ve heard many suggestions as to what makes a good password (hard to guess, not a dictionary word or permutation thereof, at least a certain length, etc.) so that it cannot be cracked in a realistic amount of time. However, from what I un…
What does PIN encrypted under LMK mean? From what I understand the Local Master Key is only there to encrypt other keys. I was reading some code and I saw function names like encryptClearToLmk or decryptLmkToClear.
Does the expression hav…
