And if such a sentiment as this were to take hold in the mind of the subject that would be the end of all security whatsoever"

Offst - A decentralized credit card
by realcr 25 Apr '19

25 Apr '19

Hi, I just published the first preview release of Offst. Offst is a decentralized payment system based on mutual credit. It's an open source project, written in Rust, licensed under AGPL3. You can find the release notes and more information here: https://www.freedomlayer.org/offst/offst-release/ Link to the project repository: https://github.com/freedomlayer/offst At this point Offst is only a bunch of command line tools, but I think some of you can already experiment with it. Criticism and ideas are welcome! real.

Papers Please: EU Goes Full Stazi all 350M in Biometric ID Repo

https://www.zdnet.com/article/eu-votes-to-create-gigantic-biometrics-databa… https://www.securityresearch-cou.eu/sites/default/files/02.Rinkens.Secure%2… http://www.statewatch.org/analyses/eu-interop-morphs-into-central-database.… https://twitter.com/StatewatchEU The European Parliament voted last week to interconnect a series of border-control, migration, and law enforcement systems into a gigantic, biometrics-tracking, searchable database of EU and non-EU citizens. This new database will be known as the Common Identity Repository (CIR) and is set to unify records on over 350 million people. Per its design, CIR will aggregate both identity records (names, dates of birth, passport numbers, and other identification details) and biometrics (fingerprints and facial scans), and make its data available to all border and law enforcement authorities. The CIR rules for borders and visa checks were adopted by 511 to 123, and nine abstentions, while the CIR legislation for police and judicial cooperation, asylum and migration was approved 510 to 130, and nine abstentions. Ever since plans to create this shared biometrics database have been made public last year, privacy advocates have criticized the EU, calling CIR's creation as the "point of no return" in creating "a Big Brother centralised EU state database." The system will slowly be expanded to include and track people that are not the subject of any criminal investigations, such as tourist traveling across the EU space. "Secure Safe Societies"...

Julian Assange put through 'hell' at embassy, says former diplomat
by jim bell 22 Apr '19

22 Apr '19

https://news.sky.com/story/julian-assange-put-through-hell-at-embassy-says-… Julian Assange was always respectful but went through "hell" in the Ecuadorian embassy as officials tried to "break him down", according to a former senior diplomat. Fidel Narvaez worked at the London embassy for six of the seven years the WikiLeaks figurehead lived there and says they became friends. Assange was evicted a few weeks ago after a change of government in Ecuador. Its new president, Lenin Moreno, publicly criticised the whistleblower and gave the impression the government ended his stay after growing tired of his alleged bad behaviour. Speaking to Sky News, Fidel Narvaez disputed claims that Assange had assaulted guards, didn't clean up after himself, didn't take care of his pet cat and even smeared human excrement on the walls of the embassy.
