Chat control
Dear all,
regarding the discussion we had in class today, you can find more details on the proposed European law to effectively ban end-to-end encryption here: https://nextcloud.com/blog/how-the-eu-chat-control-law-is-a-threat-to-democracy/ (nextcloud is the chosen EU provider for file storage). There was an important discussion last Friday but I could not find details of it anywhere - the most up-to-date information I have is here: https://www.computerweekly.com/news/366630597/Chat-Control-EU-to-decide-on-requirement-for-tech-firms-to-scan-encrypted-messages.
On Telegram not providing end-to-end encryption by default, see this: https://blog.cryptographyengineering.com/2024/08/25/telegram-is-not-really-an-encrypted-messaging-app/.
And on Pegasus and how it represented a major vulnerability for iPhone users, see this: https://www.theguardian.com/news/2021/jul/18/what-is-pegasus-spyware-and-how-does-it-hack-phones and this: https://appleinsider.com/articles/25/02/20/pegasus-infections-on-iphones-more-common-than-previously-believed. Apple has tried to quickly patch vulnerabilities as they are discovered, but it's a game of whack-a-mole.
See you tomorrow,
Prof. Brandimarte
