US Congress Classified Report On Snowden

https://yro.slashdot.org/story/16/12/22/2040202/congressional-report-claims… http://intelligence.house.gov/UploadedFiles/HPSCI_Snowden_Review_Declassifi… http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2016-12-22/in-declassified-edward-snowd… https://tcf.org/content/commentary/house-intelligence-committees-terrible-h… https://twitter.com/Snowden Edward Snowden has been in contact with Russian intelligence officials since arriving in Russia in 2013, according to a new report from Congress. "Since Snowden's arrival in Moscow, he has had, and continues to have, contact with Russian intelligence services," the 33-page report, issued Thursday by the bipartisan House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, said. Snowden, the former National Security Agency contractor who leaked volumes of information on American intelligence and surveillance operations to the media, settled in Moscow after initially traveling to Hong Kong following his 2013 public disclosure of classified information. The Russian government granted asylum to Snowden shortly thereafter. Large portions of the pertinent section, entitled "foreign influence," are redacted, but one paragraph reveals the Russian link, saying that Frants Klintsevich, the deputy chairman of the Russian parliament's defense and security committee, "publicly conceded that 'Snowden did share intelligence' with his government." Snowden immediately took to Twitter following the report's release to dispute the accusations, writing "they claim without evidence that I'm in cahoots with the Russians." The report cites classified material in the section linking Snowden to Russian intelligence. The investigation also noted that Snowden left encrypted hard drives containing classified information in Hong Kong and that the CIA had refused to grant Snowden access to sensitive information years before he began working with the NSA, documenting numerous issues that Snowden had with supervisors and co-wokers during his various jobs in the intelligence community.

Encryption _options_ are definitely *required*. You don't want to turn it on, fine, don't. Some will ship that way. Some other user does, fine, they will. Some will ship that way. And if people are that dense as to their need and use case, consider all the millions of everyday completely legal non journo, innocent, camera users who do stuff like... use it as a photocopier / scanner / fax for their bank docs etc take pics / vids of their families / vacations / drunk aunt donna their contacts and message streams their bedroom escapades whatever ... and are even just slightly aware of privacy, or even if not who would simply just freak out and think about it for years if something as simple as lose / stolen their camera / sdcard / phone. For people to sit here and argue that strong crypto *options* aren't useful... these people need to [have their heads] be examined.

Govt: Our Cameras In Your House Are Reasonable Thus Legal
by grarpamp 22 Dec '16

22 Dec '16

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-yahoo-nsa-fourth-amendment-analysis-idUSK… Yahoo Inc's secret scanning of customer emails at the behest of a U.S. spy agency is part of a growing push by officials to loosen constitutional protections Americans have against arbitrary governmental searches, according to legal documents and people briefed on closed court hearings. The order on Yahoo from the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) last year resulted from the government's drive to change decades of interpretation of the U.S. Constitution's Fourth Amendment right of people to be secure against "unreasonable searches and seizures," intelligence officials and others familiar with the strategy told Reuters. The unifying idea, they said, is to move the focus of U.S. courts away from what makes something a distinct search and toward what is "reasonable" overall. The basis of the argument for change is that people are making much more digital data available about themselves to businesses, and that data can contain clues that would lead to authorities disrupting attacks in the United States or on U.S. interests abroad. While it might technically count as a search if an automated program trawls through all the data, the thinking goes, there is no unreasonable harm unless a human being looks at the result of that search and orders more intrusive measures or an arrest, which even then could be reasonable. Civil liberties groups and some other legal experts said the attempt to expand the ability of law enforcement agencies and intelligence services to sift through vast amounts of online data, in some cases without a court order, was in conflict with the Fourth Amendment because many innocent messages are included in the initial sweep. But the general counsel of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), Robert Litt, said in an interview with Reuters on Tuesday that the legal interpretation needed to be adjusted because of technological changes.

best potential for auditable "base" OS stack? - was [seL4 Announce] seL4 4.0.0
by Zenaan Harkness 21 Dec '16

21 Dec '16

Auditable hardware is an open question yet, yet snippets of inspiration appear still. Anyone here looked at L4 or seL4 or other "micro-core" OS code, from perspective of hardening? Because, you know, Linux is so secure an all. "One attack surface at a time" is the principle here ... ----- Forwarded message from Announcements about seL4 -- low volume list <announce(a)sel4.systems> ----- Date: Wed, 21 Dec 2016 10:45:00 +0000 From: Announcements about seL4 -- low volume list <announce(a)sel4.systems> Subject: [seL4 Announce] seL4 4.0.0 The Trustworthy Systems at Data61 (formerly NICTA) is pleased to announce seL4 release 4.0.0. The new release contains a number of new features, most notably the following: - support for the x64 platform - support for VT-x on the multicore ia32 platform - robustness improvements for handling device registers - API simplifications The full list is available at https://wiki.sel4.systems/seL4%204.0.0 We are also pleased to announce the first post at the new seL4 blog at https://research.csiro.au/tsblog/introducing-device-untyped-memory-sel4 Stay tuned for further posts on and around seL4. 2016 was an exciting year for seL4 with a lot of new developments, and great contributions from the community. We think that 2017 will be even better, with VT-x support for x64 in the pipeline, multicore support for ARM maturing, and formal verification for the x64 and ARM-hyp platforms scheduled to come out in the first half of the year. We’d like to thank everybody on this list for their support and enthusiasm. There are more cool things to come!
