Not every access token is a (public) key or a signed object. It may be, but it doesn't have to. It's not state of the art, but also not unheard of to use a pre-shared secret with no cryptography involved and to rely on presenting

It's only a hallucination if you are the only one seeing it. Otherwise the line between that, a social construct and a religious belief is a bit blurry.

Why does it need cryptography even? If you gave the agent a token to interact with your bank account, then you gave it permission. If you want to limit the amount it is allowed to sent and a list of recipients, put a filter that sits betwee

Not being able to downgrade and using the debug tools was the exact point of doing this thing, as far as I understand.

Fair enough, but so does your front door. Either thing is not smart enough to judge the legitimacy of ownership transitions.

You can't have that with phones. You are always at the mercy of the hardware supplier and their trusted boot chain that starts with the actual phone processor (the one running GSM stuff, not user interface stuff). That one is always lo

Fuses are there on all phones since 25+ years ago, on the real phone CPU side. With trusted boot and shit. Otherwise you could change IMEI left and right and it's a big no-no. What you interact with runs on the secondary CPU -- the fan

People need to re-sign their releases and include the newer version of bootloader, more or less.

> Not for technical reasons, but because of an arbitrary lock (achieved through signature). There is a good reason to prevent downgrades -- older versions have CVEs and some are actually exploitable.

by Muromec 9mo ago
This kind of thing is generally used to disallow downgrading the bootloader once there is a bug in chain of trust handling of the bootloader. Otherwise once broken is forever broken. It makes sense from the trusted computing perspective to
