Fighting Eventual Consistency-Based Persistence An Analysis of notyet
Eventual Consistency Eventual consistency in AWS’s Identity & Access Management (IAM) service is a well-documented phenomenon. In short, when IAM changes are made in AWS, those changes actually take a few seconds to propagate through AWS’s internal system. Within this propagation window, an attacker-controlled identity with the right starting permissions could theoretically detect and reverse……

What we learned about TEE security from auditing WhatsApp’s Private Inference
WhatsApp’s new “Private Inference” feature represents one of the most ambitious attempts to combine end-to-end encryption with AI-powered capabilities, such as message summarization. To make this possible, Meta built a system that processes encrypted user messages inside trusted execution environments (TEEs), secure hardware enclaves designed so that not even Meta can access the plaintext. Our…
