  • Compromised hardware doesn't know the signatures. Math.

  • If the hardware signatures don't match, it wont boot without giving a warning. If the TPM/Secure Enclave is replaced/removed/modified, it will not boot without giving a warning.

  • Thats correct. Thats one of the many perks.

  • Its more about protecting your boot process from malware.

  • Why exactly am I re-reading your post? Im in complete agreement with you? Should I not be?

  • Updates to secure the operating systems are worth it. Apple has a fantastic track record of supporting the older phones. It shows they've really planned ahead and thought about the entire lifecycle of their device. They will also accept your old phone after its life is complete and responsibly recycle it.

  • Having Signal fill in gaps for what the OS should be protecting is just going to stretch Signal more than it already does. I would agree that if Signal can properly support that kind of protection on EVERY OS that its built for, go for it. But this should be an OS level protection that can be offered to Signal as an app, not the other way around.

  • If your device is turned on and you are logged in, your data is no longer at rest.

    Signal data will be encrypted if your disk is also encrypted.

    If your device's storage is not encrypted, and you don't have any type of verified boot process, then thats on you, not Signal.

  • Speculative execution, the gift that keeps on giving.

  • Nothing they say will swing me either way. Waste of time watching it. Even if they debated in my own home, I would just ask them both kindly to leave the property, and wonder who let them into my house to begin with.

  • They are probably also interested in the 3000+ safety protocols in place that keeps them alive in the event of a leak in the vacuum of space.

  • Regardless of the rules, anyone who links to a musk article here is obsessed with him.
