Alexander Hansen FærøyThis is undoubtedly the most promising Post-Quantum TLS deployment situation I have seen for <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Tor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tor</a> since we started discussing it more actively in the team. Very exciting!I hope that OpenSSL 3.5, when released, will make it into <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Debian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Debian</a> Trixie. That would make deployment of this so much more snappy and easy for the Tor network to upgrade, but that may be dreaming. The timelines here look quite difficult for that to happen, but let's hope.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/cryptography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cryptography</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/pqc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pqc</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/pqcrypto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pqcrypto</a>

stibIf I have a <a href="https://aus.social/tags/codeberg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#codeberg</a> account set up, with a verified <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ssh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ssh</a> key on my account and the corresponding public and private keys in `~/.ssh/`, is there a way that I can make it so that it doesn't ask me for my keyphrase every time I push? I'm sure VSCode could do this, but since I've switched to <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Helix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Helix</a>, which doesn't have git built-in I've been manually doing the git stuff.

In other words, relying parties authenticate Clients in a privacy-preserving way, i.e., without learning any unique, per-Client information through the authentication protocol, and then make authorization decisions on the basis of that authentication succeeding or failing. Possible authorization decisions might be to provide Clients with read access to a particular resource or write access to a particular resource."
