CISA: “Cybersecurity Information (Over)Sharing Act“

• On Tuesday afternoon, the Senate voted 74 to 21 to pass a version of CISA that roughly mirrors legislation passed in the House earlier this year, paving the way for some combined version of the security bill to become law.
• CISA is designed to stem the rising tide of corporate data breaches by allowing companies to share cybersecurity threat data with the Department of Homeland Security, who could then pass it on to other agencies like the FBI and NSA.
• But privacy advocates and civil liberties groups see CISA as a free pass that allows companies to monitor users and share their information with the government without a warrant, while offering a backdoor that circumvents any laws that might protect users’ privacy.
• The version of CISA passed Tuesday, in fact, spells out that any broadly defined “cybersecurity threat” information gathered can be shared “notwithstanding any other provision of law.”
• Critics of CISA say the devil is in the details, or rather in the raft of amendments that may be added to the bill before it’s passed. The Center for Democracy & Technology (CDT), a nonprofit technology policy group based in Washington, D.C., has published a comprehensive breakdown of the proposed amendments and their potential impacts.
• CDT says despite some changes made to assuage privacy concerns, neither CISA as written nor any of its many proposed amendments address the fundamental weaknesses of the legislation. According to CDT, “the bill requires that any Internet user information volunteered by a company to the Department of Homeland Security for cybersecurity purposes be shared immediately with the National Security Agency (NSA), other elements of the Intelligence Community, with the FBI/DOJ, and many other Federal agencies – a requirement that will discourage company participation in the voluntary information sharing scheme envisioned in the bill.”
• On the surface, efforts to increase information sharing about the latest cyber threats seem like a no-brainer.
• If only there were an easier way, we are told, for companies to share so-called “indicators of compromise”
• In practice, however, there are already plenty of efforts — some public, some subscription-based — to collect and disseminate this threat data.
• How Krebs’ Sees it: the biggest impediment to detecting and responding to breaches in a more timely manner comes from a fundamental lack of appreciation.
• The most frustrating aspect of a legislative approach to fixing this problem is that it may be virtually impossible to measure whether a bill like CISA will in fact lead to more information sharing that helps companies prevent or quash data breaches.
• Rather than encouraging companies to increase their own cybersecurity standards, the professors wrote, “CISA ignores that goal and offloads responsibility to a generalized public-private secret information sharing network.”

Australian PLAID Crypto, ISO Conspiracies, and German Tanks

• PLAID (Protocol for Lightweight Authentication of ID), the Australian ‘unbreakable’ smart card identification protocol has been recently analyzed in this scientific paper
• Technically, the protocol is a disaster. In addition to many questionable design choices, we found ways for tracing user identities and recover card access capabilities. The attacks are efficient (few seconds on ‘home’ hardware in some cases), and involve funny techniques such as RSA moduli fingerprinting and… German tanks. See this entry on Matt Green’s crypto blog for a pleasant-to-read explanation.
• PDF: Unpicking PLAID: A Cryptographic Analysis of an ISO-standards-track Authentication Protocol
• “when a reader queries the card, the reader initially transmits a set of capabilities that it will support (e.g., ‘hospital’, ‘bank’, ‘social security center’). If the PLAID card has been provisioned with a matching public key, it goes ahead and uses it. If no matching key is found, however, the card does not send an error — since this would reveal user-specific information. Instead, it fakes a response by encrypting junk under a special ‘dummy’ RSA public key (called a ‘shill key’) that’s stored within the card. And herein lies the problem.”
• “You see, the ‘shill key’ is unique to each card, which presents a completely new avenue for tracking individual cards. If an attacker can induce an error and subsequently fingerprint the resulting RSA ciphertext — that is, figure out which shill key was used to encipher it — they can potentially identify your card the next time they encounter you.”
• “To distinguish the RSA moduli of two different cards, the researchers employed of an old solution to a problem called the German Tank Problem. As the name implies, this is a real statistical problem that the allies ran up against during WWII. The problem can be described as follows: Imagine that a factory is producing tanks, where each tank is printed with a sequential serial number in the ordered sequence 1, 2, …, N. Through battlefield captures you then obtain a small and (presumably) random subset of k tanks. From the recovered serial numbers, your job is to estimate N, the total number of tanks produced by the factory.”
• But the story behind PLAID’s standardization is possibly even more disturbing. PLAID was pushed into ISO with a so-called “fast track” procedure. Technical loopholes made it possible to cut off from any discussion the ISO groups responsible for crypto and security analysis. Concerns from tech-savvy experts in the other national panels were dismissed or ignored.
• The author of the post contacted ISO and CERT Australia before going public with our paper, but all we got was a questionable and somewhat irate response (PDF) by PLAID’s project editor (our reply here). Despite every possible evidence of bad design, PLAID is now approved as ISO standard, and is coming to you very soon inside security products which will advertise non-existing privacy capabilities.
• The detailed story of PLAID in the paper is worth a read, and casts many doubts on the efficacy of the most important standardizing body in the world. It is interesting to see how a “cryptography” product can be approved at ISO without undergoing any real security scrutiny.

Unguessable URLs for security and privacy

• This post on Bruce Schneier’s blog talks about how Google uses unguessable URLs to protect the photos you post
• Additional Coverage — The Verge: Google secures photos using public but unguessable URLs
• If you look at some of your private photos in “Google Photos”, you can right click on a photo, and copy the source URL
• That is a public URL, that anyone can access, if you share it
• The photos are available to anyone who types in the right string of characters
• The key is that that string of characters, is very long
• “So why is that public URL more secure than it looks? The short answer is that the URL is working as a password. Photos URLs are typically around 40 characters long, so if you wanted to scan all the possible combinations, you’d have to work through 1070 different combinations to get the right one, a problem on an astronomical scale.”
• “There are enough combinations that it’s considered unguessable, It’s much harder to guess than your password”
• The same applies to facebook photos. If I have access to someone else’s photo, but the person I want to share it with does not (even have a facebook account), I can copy the source URL, rather than the facebook viewer URL, and share it with them
• Because traffic to and from Google Photos, and Facebook, is encrypted with HTTPS, someone cannot get the URLs of those photos by sniffing your traffic
• They could get the data from your browser history, or in other ways if your machine was compromised, but in those cases they’d have access to the photos anyway
• The only real problem here is that it can be hard to ‘revoke’ access to a photo. If you give this unguessable but public URL to someone, they can share it as much as they want, completely outside of your control
• Also, because CDNs and caches are used, even if you delete a photo, it might still be accessible by that URL, if someone already knows it
• Schneier notes: “It’s a perfectly valid security measure, although unsettling to some”

Wolfram has created a website that will identify any image you throw at it | The Verge

“It won’t always get it right, but most of the time I think it does remarkably well,” Wolfram writes. “And to me what’s particularly fascinating is that when it does get something wrong, the mistakes it makes mostly seem remarkably human.” In some brief testing, that’s a pretty fair assessment. I plugged in things like Yosemite National Park’s Half Dome and was told it was “elevation,” while a photo of a gecko was identified as a “night lizard.” Remarkably though, it identified a picture of a cow as “black angus,” and two cups of ice cream as “frozen yogurt.” Close enough.

Shield: NVIDIA’s $200 gaming-focused Android TV set-top box

NVIDIA’s calling Shield the “world’s first 4K Android TV” — it’s able to both stream and locally run 4K content to your fawncy 4K television. How does it do that? It uses a bleeding edge X1 chip — the most powerful mobile processor NVIDIA’s made to date.

It’s going to push that 4K content via HDMI out back, and pull down streamed 4K content via Gigabit Ethernet. Need some extra storage? You might, as it’s only got 16GB of internal stores. Good news: It’s got a microSD expansion port and two USB 3.0 ports for an external HDD. You’ll need some extra storage with all those huge video files.

Amazon Prime Members’ Newest Benefit Is Free, Unlimited Photo Storage

Amazon Prime members are getting another benefit today, the company announced this morning: free, unlimited photo storage. In a new service called Prime Photos, paying subscribers of Amazon’s membership program will now be about to store photos in their original resolutions to Amazon Cloud Drive from any device, including iOS, Android, and Fire phones and tablets, as well as Mac and Windows PCs.

These photos can then be viewed on those devices, as well as on the big screen via Amazon Fire TV, the new Fire TV Stick, game consoles like the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4, and some models of LG and Samsung smart TVs.

To get started with Prime Photos, Amazon Prime subscribers can now visit the homepage for the new service (at www.amazon.com/primephotos) in order to download the Cloud Drive Photos iOS or Android application

Google’s Nexus Player: More prototype than finished product | Ars Technica

The Nexus Player has 3 components. For $99, you get the set-top box and remote control, while another $40 gets you the optional Nexus Player Gamepad. The total package is a $105 premium over the $35 Google Chromecast, but the Chromecast is just a streaming stick. While the Nexus Player supports Google Cast (the retconned name for the Chromecast protocol), it also brings a dedicated TV interface along with local apps and games. In other words, it’s a smartphone for your television.

Inside the box puck is a 1.8GHz Intel Atom (Silvermont) processor, a PowerVR Series6 GPU, 1GB of RAM, and 8GB of storage. Dual-band 2×2 802.11ac Wi-Fi provides connectivity, along with Bluetooth LE 4.0. While Android TV supports Ethernet, the Nexus Player doesn’t.

The worst part of the remote is that it likes to randomly stop working. You’ll be clicking along the interface and everything will just stop, which means it’s time to get up, flip the box over, hit the Bluetooth pairing button, and then hold home+back to set the remote to pairing mode. We had to do this three times in about two hours.

Given the emphasis on apps, that 8GB of storage is a disaster, though. After the OS and pre-installed apps, you’ve got about 5GB of storage free out of the box. Let’s install some games!

All the videos we tested from several sources (YouTube, Google Play, Netflix) would drop frames. The frame drops are seemingly random, too, as if the Nexus Player is just fast enough to run 1080p content at a smooth framerate but then the OS decides to do something in the background and things start to slow down.

U.K. Spy Agency Chief Goes Public With Anti-Encryption Appeal To U.S. Tech Companies | TechCrunch

Writing in the Financial Times newspaper, GCHQ’s Robert Hannigan claims that “privacy has never been an absolute right” and warns that the terrorist group ISIS has “embraced the Internet as a noisy channel in which to promote itself, intimidate people, and radicalise new recruits”.

Hannigan’s initial argument focuses on how ISIS is using social media tools such as Twitter and Facebook as propaganda platforms

“I understand why they have an uneasy relationship with governments,” he writes of U.S. tech firms. “They aspire to be neutral conduits of data and to sit outside or above politics. But increasingly their services not only host the material of violent extremism or child exploitation, but are the routes for the facilitation of crime and terrorism.

“However much they may dislike it, they have become the command-and-control networks of choice for terrorists and criminals, who find their services as transformational as the rest of us.

Maybe it’s time Linux is split in two. I suggested this possibility last week when discussing systemd (or that FreeBSD could see higher server adoption), but it’s more than systemd coming into play here. It’s from the bootloader all the way up. The more we see Linux distributions trying to offer chimera-like operating systems that can be a server or a desktop at a whim, the more we tend to see the dilution of both. You can run stock Debian Jessie on your laptop or on a 64-way server. Does it not make sense to concentrate all efforts on one or the other?
