  185. jonas’

    kikuchiyo, no, why? tie the private key to the device.

  186. jonas’

    passphrase optional.

  187. jonas’

    on mobile OSes, that would be reasonably secure, since apps can’t read each other’s storage

  188. jonas’

    (or you can even put it in the OSes secret vault)

  189. jonas’

    breaks down on standard desktop OSes of course, but who uses those anyways.

    Ok, what does this mean for multiple or lost devices?

  195. lorddavidiii has left

  196. jonas’

    different private key for each device, obviously

  197. jonas’

    because of that, you can revoke access for lost devices easly

  198. jonas’

    if you lost all devices, you’ll need an out-of-band recovery mechanism, just as if you lost your password

  199. Beherit has left

  200. tom

    I strongly disagree

  201. tom

    You have strong crypto auth

  202. tom

    And then you add a backdoor

  203. tom

    It's up to the user not to have a backup key hidden somewhere

  204. jonas’

    of course

  205. jonas’

    because user’s are good at that!

  206. tom

    And in worst case they don't, they could go to their hosting provider showing physical ID and having someone who knews them add in a new key

  207. jonas’

    which is *exactly* the kind of out-of-band recovery mechanism I’m talking about?

  208. jonas’

    what’s your problem then?

  209. tom

    I thought you meant automated

  210. tom

    » just as if you lost your password

  211. colochon has joined

  212. jonas’

    of course automated for any non-terrible-UX service

  213. tom

    Strongly disagree

  214. jonas’

    for terrible-UX-but-high-security services you’d not do that automated obviously.

  215. tom

    I'm really tired of having to use software design for morons

  216. jonas’

    sorry to hear

  217. tom

    I know what it means to use unbreakable crypto when i turn it on

  218. tom

    A lot of companies like to assume their users are stupid and add all kinds of backdoors into the crypto

  219. tom

    Calling them recovery

  220. Echo1 has left

  221. tom

    So like you have 2fa, but you can guess someone's pet name or look up their mother's name

  222. tom

    And bypass the security

  223. lorddavidiii has joined

  224. Echo1 has joined

  225. tom

    I can auth to IRC servers with a client certificate

  226. tom

    Shouldn't that be possible with XMPP as well?

  227. tom

    Instead of having to remember passwords

  228. tom

    Keeping a bunch of passwords in a database

  229. Beherit has joined

  230. tom

    Take wireguard for example of doing authentication right and and making simple

  231. tom

    https://www.wireguard.com/

  232. jonas’

    wireguard is too simple for some use-cases though

  233. jonas’

    anything road-warrior-corporate-type for example.

  234. tom

    I use it on my laptop

  235. tom

    It's perfectly adequete

  236. kikuchiyo

    > different private key for each device, obviously New devices would need to be cross signed from an already known device, yes?

  237. pep.

    > jonas’> because of that, you can revoke access for lost devices easly Because of that, you can race to revoke access for lost devices easily. FTFY

  238. jonas’

    ?

  239. pep.

    Since the lost device would probably have the same authz

  240. jonas’

    kikuchiyo, "signed", or simply one-time authenticated with a "device invite" link

  241. jonas’

    pep., removing devices could require a second factor

  242. pep.

    And you probably just lost it :/

  243. Martin

    Andotp on the lost mobile 😁

  244. pep.

    Revocation is annoying

  254. kikuchiyo

    > kikuchiyo, "signed", or simply one-time authenticated with a "device invite" link One-time authentication leads to a race of one-time revokation. How about not revoking a device, but revoking the compromised identity?

  261. Beherit has left

  262. kikuchiyo

    pep.: Since there is no continuity, you would need to reestablish trust for a new one.

  263. pep.

    That also means at any time, somebody (with the right authz, e.g., stolen device) can revoke your perfectly valid identities

  264. pep.

    (and 2FA on the stolen mobile device, because that's how things work nowadays :p)

  265. kikuchiyo

    Which comes down to meeting in real life or using 2fa.

  266. pep.

    meeting in real life with whom?

  267. pep.

    The server operator?

  268. pep.

    (I haven't read the past few days of logs)

  269. lorddavidiii has left

  270. kikuchiyo

    Those to whom you want to communicate with.

  271. pep.

    Assuming you can also still login first

  272. pep.

    Password is unchanged, etc.

  273. lorddavidiii has joined

  274. kikuchiyo

    > Assuming you can also still login first No, assuming that the other party knows you in person and can verify that in real life. The underlying philosophical problem is: _What is identity_ One answer to that could be: A common history.

  275. Beherit has joined

  276. pep.

    I meant, you might not have access to your account anymore

  277. pep.

    In this case surely you can create a new account/identity and get this one acked

  278. pep.

    Unless you manage to convince the operator that it's your account

  280. stvn has left

  281. sonny has left

  282. holger has left

  283. kikuchiyo

    pep.: Yes a comprised account is a compromised virtual identity. So there is nothing left than to refer to a second identity, e.g. the real life identity, to establish new trust.

  284. kikuchiyo

    You just need to make sure that the old identity gets revoked completely.

  285. pep.

    And I'm saying that's the hard part. First if you don't control the account anymore, either you need to regain control of it through the operator, or you need to go through all your contacts and revoke it out-of-band (by meeting IRL)

  286. lorddavidiii has left

  287. pep.

    You don't "just" revoke an identity

  288. Maranda

  297. kikuchiyo

    pep.: I know this is not the usual way of thinking about revokation. > you need to go through all your contacts and revoke it out-of-band (by meeting IRL) Or by enabling whomever has gained control over the old identity (including yourself) to destroy it and all of the attached keys, but not to initiate a new one without meeting IRL or 2fa.

  298. pep.

    Yes and that person in control of your old identity might have no interest in destroying it :p

    pep.: One person in control has to be able to hit the kill switch for the identity - that would be you. If the attacker does that he looses control. This is a like a remote mechanism to dye stolen money.
