None of you are giving me enough credit for not participating on the TLS working group mailing list. You're welcome. Everything I don't do, I don't do it for you.
Who up losing they minds on this site?
NEW EPISODE!
The maintainers of py/cryptography declared that after many years of trying to make it work, they would be moving away from OpenSSL when supporting new functionality and exploring adding other backends:

Thinking about Curt Cignetti.
I cannot get over how impressive it is what Curt Cignetti accomplished at Indiana
Indiana shall light this holy ring, release its cleansing flame, and burn a path into the divine beyond!
This is what zero-trust looks like at the infrastructure layer. Identity and encryption match the lifetime of the thing being secured.
If your certificate strategy still assumes stable names and year-long validity, it is already behind reality.

Final SCW of 2025! We had Matt Bernhard on to talk about cryptographic voting systems, in the wake of the IACR election. (Everybody I voted for in the new election won! Woo!)
A selfie of Joe Hall, a smiling man with a salt-and-pepper beard and glasses, standing in front of a brightly lit Christmas tree. He is wearing a black t-shirt with the text "Security. Cryptography. Whatever." in blue lettering, representing the SCW Podcast. The tree is decorated with colorful ornaments and topped with a glowing gold star.

This Bernstein crap drives me up the wall because IT MAKES NO SENSE.
Why would the NSA be picking weak crypto to protect US NatSec?!

The John U Bacon special
Wonderful news! The kind of thing a lot of software folks across the world have been working to make possible. So stoked the Chrome folks are pushing us forward
It's time to make HTTPS the web's default, and reap the full security benefit from years worth of HTTPS adoption!

One year from now, Chrome will enable "Always Use Secure Connections" and warn users before plaintext HTTP by default.
Iowa-Rutgers hitting the over? Trump ruined the B1G West.
New post! Stop trying to solve revocation, we already have the answer. dadrian.io/blog/posts/r...
Kirk Herbstreit is going to be the first person to make a Golden Retriever unlikable.
The bigger issue? Microsoft’s root program still trusts this CA, leaving Edge and Windows users exposed in ways Chrome, Firefox, and Safari users aren’t.
The pattern is familiar: long-lived trust, weak oversight, systemic risk. It’s time for Microsoft to step up and fund proper root governance.
