This type of cross-tenant attack against Azure's Cosmos DB is a great example of why you should want client-side, app-layer encryption in your services so that your datastores primarily store ciphertext of any sensitive data: wiz.io/blog/chaosdb-h…

It's great to see GCP include code examples for app-layer, client-side encryption for data stored in MySQL, including how to use the AAD in AEAD to prevent malicious replacement of ciphertexts: cloud.google.com/sql/docs/mysql…

Is there a term for something like “security through obscurity” but for just “redundant security”, or controls that look good at first glance but ultimately don’t solve anything? E.g. hashing passwords client side in a web app before sending over HTTPS to a server

Before I go coding something new, has anyone used HashiCorp Vaults transit engine with ed25519 keys to output minisign compatible signatures? Seems like a great plug-in or feature to have, but I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t be too difficult to wrap the vault api if I have too…

Welp that wasn't too hard. Minisign's spec is pretty easy to implement. Can now minisign things with ed25519 keys stored in Vault (and eventually other kms's). Might opensource it if i can clean it up and generalize

Oh this neat! Seems like this will also lead to better experience developing in a multi-module monorepo with needing something like Bazel

What's the current take on format preserving encryption (FPE)? I'm not super familiar with it, but the more I research it seems like it's probably not the best idea unless you *really really* have to?

So this is a bad/crazy idea right? Maybe? I hacked together a valid OpenPGP entity that uses AWS KMS backed signing and encryption keys. Idea was to use PGP without actually needing to handle key data or mess with gpgagent/pkcs11
