What is the threat model you want to mitigate using encryption at rest? Is it that a physical disk is not properly wiped after usage? Then you could just use luks and store the key anywhere else, e.g. another machine or an external volume…

This is where artifact binding can greatly increase the security….

Browser sends artifact to RP, RP fetches assertion from IdP via HTTPs, afterwards verifies the signature.

Signature verification is not implemented correctly? The attacker still needs to break HTTPS…. And then you would have a big problem anyway.

OIDC is newer and many of the issues with SAML were addressed in the architecture. However I’m curious to hear which attack vectors you are thinking about.

OIDC is better when using the authorization code flow because it does not only rely on cryptography while validating the token. The relying party needs to talk to the IdP. This is better from a security perspective, because past vulnerabilities have shown, that implementing the cryptography right in every relying party is challenging. You can achieve similar security with SAML when using the artifact binding. Note: I work professionally with Keycloak and also offer reviews of OIDC and SAML implementations.

For protecting your developer machine, devcontainers will provide at least some isolation.

Interesting read. I have just setup a very similar cluster this week: 3 node bare metal cluster in a 10G mesh network. Decided for Debian, RKE2, Calico and Longhorn. Encryption is done using LUKS FDE. For Load Balancing I am using the HCloud Load Balancer (in TCP mode). At first I had some problems with the mesh network as the CNI would only bind to a single interface. Finally solved it using a bridge, veth and isolated ports.

Is there a solution like this which supports mobile app development? (iOS + Android). I guess USB would be needed as well.

Actually this is a EU legislation, which forces all member countries to do so.

Software development is easy, maintenance is challenging. When your system integrates with other systems and you want to make changes, it's critical to understand the details. I doubt people without IT background should be in charge of such processes.

I drive a 2023 ID.5 for 2 months and I have not faced many issues yet. Yes, the touch interface could be a bit more responsive, but I am overall very happy with the driving experience.

I have fructose malabsorption and when I eat or drink too much of it, I get brain fog (slow reaction, dizziness etc.) for one or two days. Would be interesting to see if fructose malabsorption and Alzheimer's correlate.

I think we also have lazy evaluation, heuristics (wave-particle duality), out-of-memory killers (black holes, hawking radiation) and bandwidth limitations (speed of light).

It seems obvious, hopefully it's not going to kernel panic!

Isn't that what conferences and journals are for? Reviewing and selecting the most important papers?

When something is really solved (a solution exists without negative side-effects; and this fact has been verified several times), they should indeed look for new problems.

I guess you also don't need insurances for nuclear plants. Nobody will be able to pay in the worst case.
