This is a great list of academic attacks, but it proves less than you think. Yes, TEEs have been broken in dozens of ways. Side channels, transient execution, voltage manipulation, interrupt timing... etc. To be fair, you could make an equa

My comment still applies regardless of any level of “explaining” [1]: 1. Either Nord/Teso are loose with keys (horrible) Or 2. Proton isn’t being truthful. I don’t think it’s a conspiracy or anything that it is Tesonet/Nord. Rathe

Yeah, agreed. Most VPNs just move the trust boundary from your ISP to another opaque network and call it privacy. There’s no way to verify what’s running, who controls it, or what happens to your data once it leaves your machine. We solve t

I did not sell PIA. I entered into a merger agreement to create a publicly owned privacy company. Without getting into detail, I left the company on principle receiving only 1/3rd of the value for the shares.
