Encryption of MODII at rest – GOV.UK

Industry Security Notice Number 2020/07

Subject: Encryption of MODII at rest

The UK Defence Supply Base stores, processes, and forwards a significant amount of MOD Identifiable Information (MODII) in digital formats, for which encryption at rest is required.

This ISN 2020/07 provides interim clarification of the use of Off The Shelf (OTS) products to provide encryption, whilst the MOD and National approaches to endorsement of products and services is reviewed.

This ISN 2020/07 supersedes - ISN 2020/03 and ISN 2018/02, which was issued on 26 April 2018.

It will be noted that all products in ISN 2018/02 which are either:

Where and when members of the UK Defence Supply Base need to encrypt MOD material in digital formats, they shall follow the stipulations below, in respect of:

Product Selection

Product Use

Security Breaches

The following generic scenarios for encryption at rest are identified:

Digital Storage Media & Devices (DSMD), comprising of:

Internal Storage Drives (ISD)

Removable Storage Media & Devices (RSMD), in particular:

a. External Storage Drives (ESD)

b. Flash Storage Devices [footnote 1] (FSD)

c. Optical Storage Media [footnote 2](OSM)

d. Individual Files & Folders (IFF)

The need to encrypt will vary depending on the specific scenario; for instance the presumption for portable equipments tends to needing encryption, whereas the presumption for servers in protected data centres will tend to not needing encryption.

It should be noted that although this ISN 2020/07 relates to Data At Rest (DAR) protection, the IFF option differs from DSMD in that it can also be used to protect MOD material when being forwarded on RSMD, both as email attachments, and within shared storage scenarios such as cloud. This use of DAR encryption for attachments and shared storage differs from Data In Motion (DIM) protection, which relates to the encryption of the communication media itself.

In all cases where DAR encryption is used to protect information being forwarded, the encryption key or password shall be securely transmitted by separate means to that used for the encrypted material.

At present MOD recognises two types of legacy Endorsement for encryption products for Digital Storage Media & Devices:

Approved - evaluation and certification by NCSC [footnote 3]

Acceptable - evaluated by the Technical Authorities of another nation and/or approved by the former DIPCOG [footnote 4]

Where multiple options to protect MOD material exist, the presumption shall be that an approved solution is preferred over an acceptable solution for any new acquisition, and any variation from this presumption must be explicitly agreed with the risk owner.

Annex A provides a summary of such legacy endorsements currently retained for products that are still available and maintained. This will continue to apply until both NCSC and MOD approval processes mature, after which an updated ISN will be issued as appropriate.

It is recognised that there may be a requirement to use products that are not included at Annex A, and in such cases encryption products that have not been through any approval process may be considered if there is sufficient justification for doing so and the risks associated with them have been assessed, managed and agreed as part of the Accreditation process. When choosing such a product, it is recommended that only those carrying an official certification of evaluation from a trusted organisation, such as the legacy CSIA [footnote 5] Claims Tested Mark (CCT Mark), or FIPS-140 assurance under the Crypto Module Validation Program (CMVP), are considered for use.

In all cases, the selection of encryption products should be documented in the Risk Management and Accreditation Document Set (RMADS). Use of products not on the list must be highlighted to the relevant Risk Owner for a decision.

Where continued use of existing products that are no longer still available and/or maintained is planned, and/or the platform which they protect is either obsolescent or obsolete, this must be highlighted to the relevant Risk Owner for a decision.

Once encrypted, the MOD material must still be protected in accordance with all relevant control measures for the classification.

Some encryption products, especially those at High Grade (HG), will force compliance to a password of set length and complexity, whereas others will allow the user a certain amount of flexibility. Current NCSC guidance on passwords advocates balancing risk against a simpler approach to password management.

Password complexity should be set appropriately against requirement; a longer more complex password may be appropriate for any DMSD that is to be sent to an external party using a shared password, whereas a more memorable passphrase may be used when retained within a secure environment. Shared passwords should be transported and secured separately from the media with which it is associated.

It is stressed that the selection and usage of an approved or accepted generic product or service cannot be assumed to cover all risk in specific instances, and furthermore that endorsements are given at a particular moment in time. It is therefore important to:

Consider the product or service in the context in which it is to be used

Ensure that the product or service is clearly identified within evidence given to any independent authorising party (for Defence and much of Defence Industry, typically the accreditor)

Maintain the product or service throughout its lifecycle

Monitor for disclosed vulnerabilities

Share any encountered problems, and in particular susceptibilities, with relevant colleagues, include MOD through the Defence Industry WARP (DefIndWARP)

All confirmed or suspected breaches involving MOD information must be accurately and quickly reported to your Security Officer, in line with your company procedures, for onward transmission as necessary to DefIndWARP. The report should include details of quantities, location(s), overall classification (taking into account aggregation) and any handling instructions or need-to-know restrictions.

This ISN 2020/07 will expire when superseded or withdrawn.

The point of contact in respect of this ISN is:

ISN 2020/03

ESD External Storage Devices

FSD Flash Storage Devices

How to adjust your privacy settings on Signal, and protect your messages with extra encryption and face scans – Business Insider

Signal is a messaging app that's become popular for its security. Every message you send on Signal is protected with end-to-end encryption, meaning that no one can intercept it and breach your privacy.

But despite this encryption, if someone manages to get into your phone, they'll be able to read all your Signal messages freely. That is, unless you enable some of Signal's more advanced privacy options.

Here's how to adjust your privacy settings on Signal to better protect yourself, and beef up Signal's already substantial security.

Though most of Signal's privacy settings are the same on iOS and Android, there are a few settings unique to each operating system.

To get started, open Signal and tap your account avatar at the top-left of the screen. Then tap "Privacy."

The encryption debate is about all of our personal messages and that must be acknowledged – The Independent

Judging by the the simplistic way encryption is so often discussed you'd be forgiven for thinking that the technology is only used by two very specific kinds of people: the worst villains and the best heroes.

The National Crime Agency whose director of threat leadership has just come out with a wide-ranging attack on the technology naturally concentrates its fire on the worst people in society. Rob Jones was speaking after the jailing of a prolific paedophile, and suggested that such convictions would not be possible if Facebook presses ahead with plans to better secure the conversations in its messages.

At the other end of the spectrum are the human rights, press freedom and civil liberty groups that strongly encourage the use of such technologies. They argue that weakening encryption will mean that journalists and activists who have a complicated relationship with the state and other powerful actors will come under threat.

They are both correct. Encryption protects everyone who uses it; as a technology, it has no care for whether it is protecting messages sent by abusers or dissenters. That's because all encryption really does is is make sure that messages aren't intercepted on their way between their sender and recipient; technically, it means that messages are illegible unless you are meant to be able to see them.

That's why concentrating on those extreme ends of the argument will inevitably leavethe vast majority those who use their phones primarily to chat with friends or check their bank balance with little interest or representation in the argument.

The fact is that for every person at the extremes, there are millions of people for whom encryption ensures they remain safe. Every bank transfer that is safe from being intercepted, every message conversation that isn't snooped on, every sensitive picture that is not seen by hackers or spies is thanks to the technology underpinning encryption.

All of those cases need to be part of the argument. Do we agree that it is good our conversations are protected, even if that extends to conversations that we don't think should be happening? Or do we think that it is worth giving up some privacy to make it easier for police and intelligence agencies to do their job? From the way the argument is conducted at the moment, it would be hard to know.

INDY/LIFE NewsletterBe inspired with the latest lifestyle trends every week

This is not to say that there is no place for those extreme arguments. How well protected our conversations should be, and whether we want to give up that security for safety through surveillance, is one of the most profound arguments there is.

But if we only talk at the extremes, we miss almost every way that encryption is used. Whichever way we ultimately decide the argument should fall, it must be done with the normal people whose lives it will affect in mind.

Encryption underpins every part of our life; there is no way in which it is a niche technology. The argument over its use should not confine itself to niches either.

Facebooks proposed move to end-to-end encryption threat to child protection – Yahoo Finance UK

The Daily Beast

Noah Seelam/AFP via GettyThis story was produced in partnership with Coda Story.On the evening of Oct. 8, Father Stan Swamy took a break from watching TV and came down to the ground floor of Bagaicha, the Jesuit community center he founded in the eastern Indian town of Ranchi, Jharkhand. The 83-year-old priest and social activist was chatting with colleagues when an SUV pulled up outside.Four officers from the National Investigation Agency, Indias counter-terrorism task force, burst into the roomone of them holding a gun. Six more stood outside, and another police vehicle waited about 200 meters away. The officers spoke quietly to Swamy, seized his mobile phone and asked him to pack a bag.A colleague asked for an arrest warrant, but none was presented.The next morning, Swamy was driven to Ranchi airport and put on a two and half hour commercial flight to Mumbai, where he was remanded into custody by a special NIA court until Oct. 23. The agency filed a 17,000-page charge sheet on the same day, accusing him of links to the banned Communist Party of India (Maoist), which the Indian government views as a terrorist organization.Swamy, who was detained under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), is the oldest person to be accused of terrorism in India. To him, the arrest came as no surprise. Police had raided his residence in 2018 and 2019 and confiscated his laptop, tablet, mobile phone, a hard drive, some thumb drives, CDs and documents.As a prominent human rights campaigner who has spent decades fighting for the rights of marginalized and indigenous people (Adivasis), Swamy was the latest arrest in a sprawling 2018 case that has seen 16 human rights activists accused of being in league with the CPI (Maoist).Maoist fighters and Indian forces have engaged in conflict in central and eastern India for five decades. More than 12,000 people have been killed in the violence in the past 20 years. The rebels say they are fighting for the rights of indigenous people and landless farmers in the mineral-rich region, but the state regards them as outlaws and violent extremists.Among the individuals arrested in the 2018 case under the UAPA, a broadly worded antiterrorism law that gives the authorities powers of investigation and detention, are a prominent scholar of Indias caste system, a professor of linguistics and an 81-year-old poet. All have one thing in common: they have spent their lives campaigning for the rights of so-called low-caste Hindus, minority Muslims and other vulnerable Indians. All have been repeatedly denied bail and are accused of conspiring with banned Maoist militants to incite unrest. All deny the charges.Twitter Helps Indias Nationalist Government Block DissentThe detentions are linked to clashes that broke out on January 1, 2018, in the village of Bhima Koregaon in the western Indian state of Maharashtra. Hundreds of thousands of Dalitslower-caste Hindus, once known as untouchablesgathered to mark the 200th anniversary of the victory of Dalit soldiers in the British Army over an army of the upper-caste Peshwa dynasty. The commemoration was disrupted by a mob waving saffron-colored flags, the symbol of the Hindu nationalists who dominate Prime Minister Narendra Modis government.The nationalists objected to the Dalits, who commemorate the battle as an important chapter in their ongoing struggle against Indias caste system, celebrating a victory by British colonial forces. At least one person died in the resulting violence and several were injured.Police investigations quickly latched onto a complaint that the violence was instigated by Maoists during a public rally attended by 35,000 people in Maharashtra the previous day. Police claimed to have discovered Maoist plots to assassinate Modi and overthrow his government. Police have so far arrested 16 activists, who are accused of being Maoist conspirators and inciting hate which contributed to the violence at the Bhima Koregaon commemoration.The governments case against Swamy rests on digital evidence discovered on his electronic devices and the devices of three more of the accused. According to the NIA, investigators discovered letters encouraging an uprising against a fascist government purportedly written by Swamy to Maoist leaders.Swamy is also accused of writing letters to Maoists advocating that they capture senior leaders of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party in protest against a controversial anti-conversion law introduced in Jharkhand in 2017, with stiff jail sentences and fines for those found guilty of forcing anyone to change their religion. Human rights groups say the law targets Christian, Muslim, and other minority groups, including Adivasis, in an effort to enshrine Hindu culture and practices.Other letters allegedly show that Swamy received $110,000 from an associate to help the Maoists. The priest denies having ever sent any such messages.Mihir Desai, Swamys lawyer, claims the discovery of the letters points to the possible use of spyware. Eight people connected with the case were previous targets of spyware attacks. One such incident used malware tools from the controversial Israeli surveillance tech firm the NSO Group.Surveillance from hacking tools provided by companies like the NSO Group has become a hallmark in crackdowns on minority groups and activists around the world. The NSO has previously been linked with helping numerous governments to zero in on human rights activists, lawyers and journalists, in countries including Mexico, France, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.Speaking of Swamy during a telephone conversation, Desai said, These letters have not been emailed from his computer, neither have they been found in his deleted files. Please understand these are not emails. If its an email, youd find it on the senders email or device, as well as the receivers.In a video recorded by his colleagues days before his arrest and uploaded to YouTube by Jharkhand Janadhikar Mahasabha, a coalition of progressive human rights organisations, Swamy said officers from the NIA had questioned him over five days in July and August. He said they had produced "some extracts" of letters allegedly taken from his computer that linked him to the CPI (Maoist). Swamy described the letters as "fabrications" that were put onto his computer.We are all aware how prominent intellectuals, lawyers, writers, poets, activists, student leaders they are all put in jail just because they have expressed their dissent or raised questions about the ruling powers of India, he added.Desai insists that the letters were planted on Swamys devices and added that the priest had ample reason not to have written them.Why would he create these files just to keep them on his computer, when he knows hes been under scrutiny for the last two years? he asked. His house was raided twice and he was questioned about his links with Maoists. Why would he still not delete these letters? He wouldnt do this unless hes a complete fool. Nihalsing Rathod is a junior lawyer who has been working with Surendra Gadling, a human rights lawyer who was also arrested in this case. Rathod said he once received suspicious emails from the poet Varavara Rao and the activist lawyer Arun Ferreira, both of whom were arrested in August 2018 after they were accused of being Maoist conspirators in the Bhima Koregaon violence. The communications arrived before their arrests.These emails looked suspicious and I had the good sense of not opening them. I called the senders instead, he said. They told me they had never sent me any email and got worried about a possible hacking.Suspicions of hacking are common in the arrests. In June 2020, the Canada-based Citizen Lab and Amnesty International released a report detailing how nine people, including Rathod, were targeted with malicious emails and messages. The investigation identified 12 spearphishing emails, messages which looked authentic because they appeared to come from a trusted source, sent between January and October 2019. All came from email accounts masquerading as belonging to journalists, officials from local courts or an activist that may have been known to the targets.These spearphishing emails attempted to use a PDF document to deliver NetWire, a commercially available spyware program capable of compromising Windows computers in order to monitor their actions and communications. Citizen Lab was unable to determine who was behind the attacks.Shalini Gera, an Adivasi rights activist and lawyer for one of those accused, also received similar emails. Ive been racking my brains over this: Why me?, she said. Look at all the others who have been targeted, the only thing that ties us together is Bhima Koregaon.Eight of the nine people targeted by the spyware are helping defend people arrested in the Bhima Koregaon case. Three of themRathod, Gera, and another Adivasi rights activistwere also targeted by another campaign that, according to Citizen Lab, used a program called Pegasus, a surveillance tool used by the NSO Group, to attack their WhatsApp accounts.Once installed, Pegasus can copy vast amounts of previously inaccessible data from smartphonesincluding contacts, voice calls, texts, emails, location and any data transmitted over apps including Facebook, WhatsApp and Skype. Pegasus can even turn on a phones camera, microphone and GPS to track a targets location and movements.Citizen Lab was unable to determine the extent of the breaches in both attacks and WhatsApp filed a lawsuit against the NSO Group in 2019. While the company says it does not operate any technology it provides to governments, the Modi administration has dodged questions on whether it has ever used Pegasus.Rathod claims that the evidence against Gadling was fabricated by the government. His suspicions were given some weight in December 2019, when the Indian magazine The Caravan reported that police may have edited files on Gadlings devices. The publication obtained clone copies of his computers from the police. They also found that the computer of another of the accused contained malware that could be used to plant files remotely.For Desai, finding evidence of electronic tampering is proving difficult. He is still trying to press the courts to give him access to clone copies of the devices seized from Swamy.Until the police provide clone copies of the hard disks, it is impossible to find out when and how the planting of evidence happened, he said.Swamy has campaigned against the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act for many years. The legislation has been criticised for erasing presumption of innocence, allowing the state to unilaterally declare anyone arrested a terrorist and incarcerate them without trial or bail.In 2019, India had 5,134 active cases under the law and the number of people being detained is rising every year. Critics claim the legislation has often been used to target religious minorities and marginalized communities, including Adivasis. A 2015 research paper by Swamy found that over 3,000 Adivasis have been falsely accused of being Maoists and are imprisoned in Jharkhand under the UAPA, or similar laws. Swamy is currently suing the state of Jharkhand over delays to those trials.In the video he posted before his arrest, Swamy linked his pro-Adivasi work to his arrest. This became a bone of contention with the state and they want to put me out of the way. And one easy way was to implicate me in some serious cases, he said.The historian and writer Ramachandra Guha believes that the Bhima Koregaon case can be characterised by the abuse of power by the state. The Bhima Koregaon case rests on dubious and manufactured evidence and is an extreme example of the ruling party abusing the power of the state to persecute its critics, he said, via email.It adversely affects the rights of Adivasis, Dalits, Muslims, as well as of independent writers, journalists and civil society activists of all backgrounds.Meanwhile, lawyers involved in the case fear they are still being surveilled.I assume that my mobile phone is tapped, said Desai. With the present government, anybody in my line of workhuman rights that iswould assume it. Catholic nuns hold placards during a protest against the arrest of Father Stan Swamy. Noah Seelam/AFP via Getty When Adivasi activist Dayamani Barla first met Swamy in Ranchi 20 years ago, she noticed his involuntary tremors.He was holding a glass of water but his hands shook so much that it wouldnt reach his mouth, she said.Those movements are caused by Parkinsons disease.His detention has united thousands of prominent Indians to push for his release. Immediately after Swamys arrest, a group of 2,000 scholars and activists signed a statement calling for his release. Recently, several high-profile individuals, including UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet, member of parliament Shashi Tharoor and Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren have made similar appeals.The courts have rejected bail applications from all of the accused, including Swamy, multiple times. Right-wing Hindu nationalists have described Swamy and his 15 co-accused and their educated supporters as invisible enemies of India.Desai spoke to Swamy by telephone in mid-November. Stan said he was doing ok but he didnt sound very well. Stan is a bold man; he was trying to sound bold.In a handwritten letter to his friends in January to mark 100 days in prison, Swamy expressed gratitude for the public goodwill he has received. At times, news of such solidarity has given me immense strength and courage, especially when the only thing certain in prison is uncertainty, he said.This story was produced in partnership with Coda Story.Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.
