Wir brauchen endlich einen kryptografisch sicheren und privatsphärefreundlichen #EPerso.

Und weg von dem ganzen unverschlüsselten Kram wie Telefon, SMS, Fax oder Email. Jede Nachricht muss mit einem privaten Key signiert sein, das geht schon, juckt aber kein Schwein. Keine Behörde, Arztpraxis etc. unterstützt #PGP.

🔐 Passwords are out. Microsoft is going all-in on passkeys 🎉🧑‍💻

Starting now, all new Microsoft accounts default to passwordless login:
🔑 Passkeys
📲 Push notifications
🔐 FIDO2 security keys

Why it matters:
📈 Nearly 1 million passkeys registered every day
✅ Passkeys succeed 98% of the time — passwords only 32%
🧠 Fewer support calls, less phishing risk, smoother UX

This shift isn’t just about convenience — it’s a major step toward killing the biggest security weak spot: the password.

A brand new episode of Redefining #Society & #Technology Podcast, on ITSPmagazine

Living Forever (Sort Of): AI Clones, Digital Ghosts, and the Problem with Perfection

Bruce Y. Lee and I met once again in our favorite make-believe bar to explore what might be one of the most unsettling — and fascinating — questions of our time: What happens when your AI clone outlives you?

In this episode, Bruce Y. Lee and I explore digital immortality, algorithmic relationships, and what makes a person… well, a person. Star Trek, deepfakes, AI therapists, and dead celebrities all make an appearance. Is it still you if your clone outlives you?

Let’s discuss!

– Star Trek ethics and uncanny valleys

– ChatGPT friendships that feel a little too real

– What it means to build a digital legacy you never signed off on

– And whether a recreated version of “you” is still… you 👻 🫢

From #holograms to memory simulations, #socialengineering to emotional #algorithms, we’re not here to decide what’s right or wrong — just to ask: where does reality end, and where does the replica begin?

[...] the fake passport generated using ChatGPT-4o successfully bypassed basic KYC checks used by fintech platforms like Revolut and Binance, which depend on photo ID uploads and user selfies. Musielak warned of the rising threat of mass identity theft, fraudulent credit applications, and fake account creation, which are now more scalable with generative AI.

Looks like we need to accelerate the change to SSI.

"In a stunning reversal, the European Commission is once again poised to undermine the privacy of citizens across Europe in the ongoing eIDAS reform process. After promising to close a dangerous loophole in the eIDAS implementing acts, the Commission has yielded to powerful industry lobbyists and reintroduced an optional regime for “relying party registration certificates.” This dramatic backslide threatens the core principle of the European Digital Identity (EUDI) Wallet project: namely, giving users across the EU secure digital identities under reliable and uniform protections."

Foul-Spiel der Europäischen Kommission!

Statt das Vertrauen in die kommende European Digital Identity Wallet zu stärken, soll mit neuen Regeln der Daten- und Trackingschutz ausgehebelt und die pseudonyme Nutzung quasi unmöglich gemacht werden.

Wenn jedoch bei der #EUDI-Wallet nicht der Schutz der Nutzenden gewährleistet wird, sondern sogar verdeckt deren Überwachung und Kontrolle organisiert wird, muss vor der Nutzung gewarnt werden!

Było ostatnio o zaawansowanym browser/device fingerprinting. Ale STYLOMETRIA to cichy snajper – Twój pisarski „unikalny hash” zdradzi Cię nawet, gdy ogarniesz cały soft. Długość zdań, składnia, słowa-klucze, błędy, sposób poruszania się myszką – to cyfrowe DNA. Marzy się mobilna apka z lokalnym LLM-em, która robi realtime parafrazę, miesza rejestry, łamie rytm i tworzy styl „wszyscy i nikt”. Piszesz Ty, a wyglądasz jak wszyscy. #PrivacyMatters #DigitalIdentity #Prywatność #CyberSecurity
