[GrapheneOS @GrapheneOS]

Apple and Google are gradually expanding their use of hardware-based attestation. They're convincing a growing number of services to adopt it. Google's Play Integrity API and Apple's App Attest API are very similar. Apple brought it to the web via Privacy Pass, which Google intends on doing too.

Google's Play Integrity API requires hardware attestation for the strong integrity level and is gradually phasing in requiring it for the more commonly used device integrity level. Apple already has it as a requirement. Over the long term, this will increasingly lock out hardware and OS competition.

The purpose of these systems is disallowing people from using hardware and software not approved by Apple or Google. This is wrongly presented as being a security feature. Banks and government services are the main ones adopting it but Apple and Google are encouraging every service to use it.

Apple's Privacy Pass brought hardware attestation to the web to help with passing captchas on their own hardware. Many people saw that as harmless since few sites would be willing to lock out non-Apple-hardware users. Apple and Google are both likely to bring broader hardware attestation to the web.

Google's reCAPTCHA is planning an approach where they use Privacy Pass on Apple hardware, their own approach on Google Mobile Services Android devices and a QR code scanning system to require an iOS or Google certified Android device for Windows and other systems:

Banking and government services increasingly require using a mobile app where they can use attestation to force using an Apple or Google approved device and OS. Apple's privacy pass, Google's 'cancelled' Web Environment Integrity and now reCAPTCHA Mobile Verification are bringing this to the web.

Current media coverage for reCAPTCHA Mobile Verification misunderstands it and the impact of it. They're bringing a hardware attestation requirement to Windows, desktop Linux, OpenBSD, etc. by requiring a QR scan from a certified smartphone to pass reCAPTCHA in some cases. They could expand it more.

Control over reCAPTCHA puts Google in a position where they can require having either iOS or a certified Android device to use an enormous amount of the web. Google defines certification requirements for Android which includes forcing bundling Google Chrome, etc. It's enormously anti-competitive.

Google's Play Integrity API bans using GrapheneOS despite it being far more secure than anything they permit. It also bans using any other alternative. This isn't somehow specific to an AOSP-based OS. You can't avoid this by using a mobile OS based on FreeBSD instead. You'll just be more locked out.

Google's Play Integrity API permits devices with no security patches for 10 years. The device integrity level can be bypassed via spoofing but they can detect it quite well and block it once it starts being done at scale. The strong integrity level requires leaked keys from TEEs/SEs to bypass it.

It doesn't provide a useful security feature, but it does lock out competition very well. Services requiring Apple App Attest or Google Play Integrity are primarily helping to lock in Apple and Google having a duopoly for mobile devices. Play Integrity is more relevant due to AOSP being open source.

Governments are increasingly mandating using Apple's App Attest and Google's Play Integrity for not only their own services but also commercial services. The EU is leading the charge of making these requirements for digital payments, ID, age verification, etc. Many EU government apps require them.

Instead of governments stopping Apple and Google from engaging in egregiously anti-competitive behavior, they're directly participating in locking out competition via their own services. Requiring people to have an Apple device or Google-certified Android device is anti-competition, not security.

reCAPTCHA Mobile Verification will currently work with sandboxed Google Play on GrapheneOS but it clearly exists to provide a way for them to start using hardware attestation on systems without it. People without an iOS or Android device will be locked out when this is required even without that.

This isn't about security or any missing functionality. GrapheneOS can be verified via hardware attestation. Google bans using GrapheneOS for Play Integrity because we don't license Google Mobile Services and conform to anti-competitive rules already found to be illegal in South Korea and elsewhere.

Services shouldn't ban people from using arbitrary hardware and operating systems in the first place. Google's security excuse is clearly bogus when they permit devices with no patches for 10 years but not a much more secure OS. It's for enforcing their monopolies via GMS licensing, that's all.

@CL207 i keep waiting though

[Rife @CryptoRife]

By now it is pretty clear that US, Israel and Iran are milking the markets with insider trading and coordinated messaging

[Rife @CryptoRife]

@PaulFX_ Yea just weekend shenanigans

[Rife @CryptoRife]

I hope iran returns the enriched ethereum soon so we all can get some of that

[Rife @CryptoRife]

UFOs narrativo to cover Iran war fiasco which was used to cover Epstein files which covered Gaza genocide which covered Ukraine defeat which covered … I’m starting to lose track!

[*Walter Bloomberg @DeItaone]

TRUMP SAYS FIRST TRANCHE OF UFO DOCUMENTS TO BE RELEASED SOON

[Rife @CryptoRife]

You were warned!

[Rife @CryptoRife]

Are you ready?

[Rife @CryptoRife]

Just a few more events before we get to long FARTCOIN again

[Al Jazeera Breaking News @AJENews]

BREAKING: US-sanctioned tanker, Chinese-owned Rich Starry, transited through the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday despite a US blockade of the vital oil chokepoint, shipping data from LSEG showed.

[Rife @CryptoRife]

Could turn into an excuse to leave Iran with the strait, while US controls outside of it.

The world has seen what Iran is capable of, and they might want to use it to negotiate

Israel was getting hammered, so they might want it too

And nobody seems to think it can happen

[Rife @CryptoRife]

Trump’s “ceasefire” posts weren’t moving the markets anymore.

The next natural step was to agree to a ceasefire under Iran terms so that Iran’s post would move the markets

Knowing well there would be no ceasefire, but the markets would have believed it

He got what he wanted

news algos rn:

[Rife @CryptoRife]

tldr; we're getting fucked without lubricant

[HealthRanger @HealthRanger]

It's going to be an interesting day for sure when the typical American suddenly realizes that when Al Jubail is burned down, the supply chain of lubricants will collapse. And when the lubricants collapse, then trucks don't run and forklifts don't fork. And when forklifts don't fork and trucks don't truck, there's not going to be much food that appears on grocery store shelves.

And at that moment all those who have been mindlessly cheering for war on Iran will seize up and begin to ask themselves, "What have I done?"

You've fucked yourself is what you've done. You've ALREADY fucked yourself, because these events are being set into motion right now, but you just don't know how badly you've fucked yourself because the fucking is delayed by global logistics and shipping timelines.

It won't be long, however, before the self-fucking arrives, and people who know absolutely nothing about lubricants, grease, transportation, engine oil, supply chain logistics and the Al Jubail industrial city will suddenly discover just how fucked they really are.

[Rife @CryptoRife]

now it makes sense why they were pushing for renewables and not eating meat

[Rife @CryptoRife]

@btc_charlie inheritance

[Rife @CryptoRife]

At the end, all of this will be singlehandedly blamed on Trump.

He was the chosen one to absorb all the fault of the loss of hegemony

And then they will focus on what’s left: regional power and saving face

[Rife @CryptoRife]

Never deleting this app lmao

[Iran Embassy SA @IraninSA]

Stone Age?
At a time when you were still in caves searching for fire, we were inscribing human rights on the Cyrus Cylinder.

We endured the storm of Alexander and the Mongol invasions and remained; because Iran is not just a country, it is a civilization.

[Rife @CryptoRife]

@PaulFX_ same bro, get the feeling covid was just a test dump

[Rife @CryptoRife]

Is he talking about the global economy?
