Chrome has published version 1.6 of their root store policy. Notably, this includes a deadline of June 15, 2026 to get TLS Client Auth out from any intermediates under roots in Chrome's program. TLS client cert users from public CAs may need to make changes. www.chromium.org/Home/chromiu...

I am convinced 99% of websites should use magic links + passkeys. It bypasses all (debatable) portability objections to passkeys, it’s at least as secure as email-based recovery, as fast as a password manager, it’s available to all users… and importantly, no passwords!

Safari 18.2 released 3 days ago has HTTPS-first/by-default mode: "Safari 18.2 on iOS, iPadOS, and visionOS will always try to load webpages over secure connections first, i.e. HTTPS by default. Only if the secure page load fails will Safari fall back to non-secure HTTP." webkit.org/blog/16301/w...

Handling Cookies is a Minefield: Inconsistencies in the HTTP cookie specification and its implementations have caused a situation where countless websites (including Facebook, Netflix, Okta, WhatsApp, Apple, etc.) are one small mistake away from locking their users out. grayduck.mn/2024/11/21/h...

Tiny, impeccable design detail: this children’s jacket is designed to be a hand-me-down

I caught a full vomit into my hands tonight without a single drop hitting the couch, so maybe I do qualify as a medical professional after all

My colleague @serena.nz gave an amazing PurpleCon talk describing the behind-the-scenes experience of removing the (in?)famous lock icon from Chrome: www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUAx... One day I aspire to get as many laughs during a talk as a 90s sitcom laugh track 🤩

I seem to have gotten added to some medical starter packs for some reason. If you're following me for medical stuff, sorry, wrong person! Feel free to stick around if you want to answer my random medical questions every time one of my children brings home some weird virus from school.

We’ve now established a pattern where Go is the first non-browser stack to implement new TLS features, so we flush out all the bugs Chrome didn’t hit. Today it’s tldr.fail. PQ shares were already default in Chrome, but Go 1.23 is surfacing new broken middleboxes. Last time it was X.509 SANs.

tldr.fail

The migration to post-quantum cryptography is being held back by buggy servers that do not correctly implement TLS. Due to a bug, these servers reject connections that use post-quantum-secure cryptography, instead of negotiating classical cryptography if they do not support post-quantum cryptography.

If you, like me, dislike when tiny icons lead to large misconceptions about security, you will be happy to hear that the lock icon in Chrome is going away. Come for the browser security UI news, stay for the perfect Simpson's reference: blog.chromium.org/2023/05/an-update…
