  That wouldn't be a "Linux won't work" as much as it may be a driver
incompatibility or, something that requires some setup.  What brand is your
wifi card?

Jumbo frames aren't a security feature.  They also work under Linux.  They also 
don't make any sense on a home router, where the MTU for the WAN side will 
almost always be the same or less than regular Ethernet frames, let alone jumbo.

Boston Linux VIRTUAL Meeting , re, minder, tomorrow, Wednesday, March 15, 2023 - Tinkering With Cryptography

2023-03-14 Thread Jerry Feldman
When: March 15, 2023 7:00PM EDT (6:30PM for Q)

Topic: Tinkering With Cryptography

Speaker:  Brian DeLacey

Location: Online: https://meet.jit.si/blu.org

Live stream: https://youtube.com/live/1H7Rbpq1LR8?feature=share

Summary:

Making cryptography more accessible and useful with Google's Tink
Cryptographic Library

Abstract:


Brian covers the basics of a relatively new library from Google, with 
demonstration code running on multiple platforms. We'll also delve into 
some of the more advanced topics related to this code and take a 
special, deep dive into Key Management Systems.

As part of the discussion, Brian explores the challenges of brittle 
bytes and how to achieve secure, authenticated access to critical data 
over time. Demos cover code running on tiny little machines and 
biggerbut still bargainbuilds.

Demonstration code will be in Golang and Python, but the Tink 
Cryptographic Library also works well with C++, Java, mobile platforms 
and more.

We'll also walk through and demonstrate code and the use of cryptography 
in “nostr”, which stands for “Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays”.

According to its chief architect, nostr is “The simplest open protocol 
that is able to create a censorship-resistant global ”social“ network 
once and for all. It doesn't rely on any trusted central server, hence 
it is resilient; it is based on cryptographic keys and signatures, so it 
is tamperproof; it does not rely on P2P techniques, therefore it works.”
