mircea_popescu: funny that antiseptic masculinity should be deemed toxic by the very bugs it is there to exterminate.
mircea_popescu: i could have not predicted this entirely surprising turn of events.
mircea_popescu: should have listend when toupac told us all to get credit cards.
sina: hullo
shinohai: how's sins?
sina: asciilifeform: if you are about I have a question for the resident expert on constanttime stuff
sina: hi shinohai! nb, and you?
shinohai: Same
sina: asciilifeform: basically I am wondering about the "threat model" of constanttime sidechannel stuffs. for example, let's say I want to write you an email with RSA encrypted body, or receive same from you, is there really a sidechannel there? I guess I'm asking in terms of async vs sync encrypted comms
mircea_popescu: sina you mean, is there a side channel for constant time ops ? or for rsa as commonly implemented atm ?
sina: as commonly implemented
sina: I mean, I get that there are timing attacks you could perform if there was a synchronous stream of traffic happening
mircea_popescu: as commonly implem,ented, yes.
sina: but if I write an email on my box, encrypt it with RSA, then send it...what timing info can be derived?
sina: can you give me an example situation mircea_popescu?
mircea_popescu: actual key recovery via acousting channel has been demonstrated recently ; power lines both in draw and as antenna have long been known to leak key bits.
mircea_popescu: etcetera.
mircea_popescu: sina example situation, you decrypt your message in a room with an ipad, lose the key.
sina: I lose the key because an adversary is nearby watching all my EMR?
mircea_popescu: because the processor clicks slightly as it works ; and if you fork on secret bits you are thereby giving the secret bits away.
sina: giving them away to whom? certainly not to a passive network adversary...right?
mircea_popescu: to anyone who happens to listen.
sina: "to listen" ...to...EMR...right?
mircea_popescu: it is perfectly conceivable that by following eg your delay in response to pings on a network-routable box while a decryption is in progress, at least part of the key material can be derived.
asciilifeform: sina: your question is in fact a repeat of old thread , which you participated in, http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-27#1674790 ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-06-27 01:45 asciilifeform: EVERYONE eventually asks this
mircea_popescu: sina doesn't have to be "emr". it can be the resonant behaviour of your power lines or the acoustic polution in the room or ping delays or anything else.
mircea_popescu: cache hits to reference the recent rowhammer lulz, you name it.
asciilifeform: the 'write an email on my box, encrypt it with RSA, then send it...what timing info can be derived' contention is merely a special case of http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-27#1674800 ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-06-27 01:47 sina: any actual practical example of making it spill out of the time box? lets say two independent processes, one is preparing the payloads and putting them in an "outbox"
asciilifeform: sina: do you know the story of the synchronized machine gun ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform apparently it didn't take.
sina: asciilifeform: if you would consider this question as a continuation of that thread rather than repeat, I'd appreciate
asciilifeform: in ww1, at first flyers had to be content with dropping caltrops, frags, firing revolvers, from the cockpit
sina: however I would note that at the end of that thread it was still unclear to me how the final model I proposed was unsafe in any case
asciilifeform: but this was quickly found to be a sad joke, folx wanted to mount machine gun
asciilifeform: problem is, how do you aim.
asciilifeform: can have a second man, but in the cardboard planes this was an expensive mass proposition.
sina: right, I know the thing of synchronizing bullets with the propellor spins
asciilifeform: so the coaxial -- with propeller -- was chosen
asciilifeform: anyway, the 'modern' scheme, with the synchronized bolt, is a german invention
asciilifeform: the french at first took the idiot path of... armouring propellers.
asciilifeform: the 'release modular exponentiation result after time T' is an armoured propeller.
asciilifeform: is it obvious how, or is it necessary to explain ?
sina: I guess I should rephrase my question
sina: what I'm trying to understand, is which adversaries can mount a timing attack, and which cannot, given async comms
trinque: .. just gotta get the thing to leak your sleep timing too
asciilifeform: sina: there is a ru proverb, pertinent, also : 'you cannot conceal an awl inside a sack'
asciilifeform: your modularexp is an awl
asciilifeform: the hypothetical 'time envelope' -- sack
asciilifeform: it is enough for the awl to pierce the sack exactly once, anywhere.
sina: what's awl
asciilifeform: sina: sharp tool for sewing in leather
sina: asciilifeform: so what software do you currently use for RSA encryption
sina: my understandinf of your POV is that there is currently no adequate constanttime impl
asciilifeform: sina: currently there is exactly 1 rsatron that anybody worth mentioning uses, gpg. which is a sad joke in 9,001 ways, and slated for replacement
asciilifeform: the 1 constanttime implementation -- is mine
asciilifeform: but it is right now in prototype phase
sina: right. so you use it, despite it being as "awlish" as anything?
trinque: there is even a historic copy of grandfather's pistol in deedbot
sina: which is fine, and I guess my point, because you must understand there is some adversary which can read your keys and some which cannot and you as of current, accept the risk
trinque: sina: what are you driving at?
trinque: rubber stamp of your own use of gpg?
sina: no
sina: just, hopefully a list of adversary capability mapping to outcomes
sina: for the purpose of proper understanding
sina: e.g. asciilifeform uses gpg, even though he knows some adversary might read his key via timing attack, because the list of adversary which can do so, he has discounted
sina: for now anyway
asciilifeform: sina: our 18th ancestors' perspectives on hygiene are not advice to the modern thinking man.
asciilifeform: ditto gpg.
sina: again, it's understood
sina: asciilifeform: "you cannot conceal an awl inside a sack" understood and accepted
trinque: that you are on a field being mortared does not mean you've discounted the enemy
trinque: just that you're there, so might get hit.
sina: given that. what are the practicalities, today, on the ground ☟︎
trinque: might think of moving, while you're still alive
asciilifeform: sina: the practicalities are - that every time you unholster your gpg key, you broadcast a few bits of it. ☟︎
asciilifeform: whether anybody happens to be listening is separate consideration.
asciilifeform: the other practicality is that certain hypothetical uses of rsa -- such as specifically gossipd -- magnify this leak to the point where you are broadcasting the key at a few kHz
sina: trinque: to extend your analogy. you are on a field, in a crater. you are ~impervious to horizontal machine gun attack thanks to the crater, but vulnerable to mortar attack
trinque: there's this reaction to the NSA mindrape that ought to be pointed at directly. and more broadly the socialist mindrape.
trinque: "yes things are that bad. have a great day!"
sina: trinque: my question being, given a sina sitting in the crater, what is the list of things ~impervious to, what is the list of things not
trinque: sina: you do not and likely will not know the manifold ways modern computing has been perforated for imperial tyranny
sina: none of us do, and yet, tmsr uses "18th century hygeine" anyway. I am assuming because of considered evaluation of possible threats and their outcome
sina: at least until 21st century hygeine comes along
sina: no?
asciilifeform: sina: what argument are you trying to make ?
sina: no argument sir
sina: only seeking of complete understanding
sina: given observation of behaviours
sina: feel free to say "it's a dumb question, go away" ☟︎
sina: I ask here, because I feel here can give a useful answer
trinque: not a dumb question, just already answered http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-19#1686394 ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-07-19 00:40 asciilifeform: sina: the practicalities are - that every time you unholster your gpg key, you broadcast a few bits of it.
sina: trinque: given the quoted statement, what are the implications? for example, does it imply that a passive network adversary will not be in a position to mount a timing attack? or does it so?
sina: can I safely state, if I want to email trinque RSA encrypted cake recipe, that asciilifeform can never read it?
asciilifeform: if it's 500 recipes / sec for an hour, i'll read it
asciilifeform: otherwise may or may not, but YOU DON'T KNOW which
sina: or to ask alternatively, broadcast to whom?
asciilifeform: there isn't a 'to whom', that's what word 'broadcast' ~means~
sina: anyone who can ping my box? anyone in the world?
asciilifeform: it's a 'to whom it may concern..'
asciilifeform: to your neighbour, watching the room lights; to passer-by with antenna; to your isp; varies
asciilifeform: to the other electronics, of various provenance, in your house. in your neighbour's house. to martians. etc
trinque: to the antenna in your CPU! lets go full tinfoil.
asciilifeform: to whoever sits on your pole transformer.
asciilifeform: this list is arbitrarily long and NECESSARILY incomplete
asciilifeform: and ill-conceived -- 'enumeration of badness'
asciilifeform: but refusing to actually plug the leak at the source, dooms you to it
trinque: !#s enumeration of badness
a111: 2 results for "enumeration of badness", http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=enumeration%20of%20badness
sina: and yet, here we all are, encrypting, decrypting, signing ascii with some RSA stuff all the time, in spite of that
asciilifeform: sina: i'll ask just this one more time : what is your argument ?
trinque: sina: be brave and actually state what made you say that.
sina: it's not an argument, only the next thought that pops into my head as a consequence of the discussion. all here seem on the same page re constanttime stuff, yet all here are using the tool in spite of that, so there must be some thought process which allows someone as reasonably paranoid as asciilifeform to do so, i.e. "I am not concerned with timing attacks of class X, Y, Z from adversary A, B,C when I
sina: want to send my encrypted cake recipe to trinque"
trinque: if standing on hot coals, I bet you'd run even though you'd only step on more coals, at least for a while.
trinque: and meanwhile only sensible strategy would be to move quickly / step as few times as possible til off
sina: otherwise asciilifeform would surely say "what is the point of encrypting, I am broadcasting my key to all, every time"
sina: does my line of thought really make so little sense? ☟︎
sina: again to reiterate I seek only understanding, not to make a point or argument
asciilifeform: == 'what is the point of obeying traffic signals, i have a good chance of death in traffic anyway'
trinque: sina: never been in a situation where you both had to act and there were no good options?
trinque: (people gotta live more)
sina: trinque: of course! and I ask, is there no value in understanding the consequences of a given act?
sina: it seems the answer so far given is only "the consequence is always the worst, given this particular act"
sina: but that is not congruent with actions taken, otherwise all here would treat their keys as compromised?
sina: whereas I am asking, what is the gradient of consequence, given differing scenarios and adversaries
trinque: how would you measure whether they are or not, other than acting in the world and seeing if you fail?
trinque: and meanwhile refining methods seems sensible
sina: trinque: does the general commit his troops to an action and see if he fails? or try and understand the enemy movement and tactics, to say "ok, crossing the bridge with enemy awaiting on farside, bad idea" without needing to act on it
sina: and so it is, "do not encrypt 500 cake recipes a second"
trinque: absent asciilifeform's expertise which gave ^ as output, one'd just turn that into a totem
asciilifeform: sina: you DON'T KNOW that it's 500
asciilifeform: could be 499. could be 4.
trinque: and it wasn't a specific example
asciilifeform: whereas if you simply DON'T MOTHERFUCKING LEAK, it doesn't matter if 500, 5,000,000, whatever.
trinque: sorta like these guys that come through asking what to do with their raspberry pi wallet or w/e, life savings in dogecoin
asciilifeform: i had nfi that this is a difficult concept.
sina: alright. please let me attempt to summarise the discussion thus far, and correct any misconceptions
sina: "today, until a constanttime solution is in place, gpg is the tool of choice for RSA encryption. any time you use it, you can't know whether you have completely compromised your private key. and we use it anyway."
mircea_popescu: sina> just, hopefully a list of adversary capability mapping to outcomes << anyone who can listen in (ie, intercept acoustic band) within a mile or so of your machine, can derive your key that way. anyone who can measure your power draw (say, up to the pole) can derive your key that way. anyone who can route to your box, and measure delays, can idem.
mircea_popescu: for as long as you're running the "awl" there are no solutions for this -- just mitigations. do not permit micrphones ; do not permit antennas ; use inductor&battery arrangements ; shoot anyone seen approaching the solitary hilltop fortress and so on and so forth ad infinitum.
mircea_popescu: the costs of mitigation ever mount, which is why a proper solution is even contemplated.
sina: mircea_popescu: if that is a complete list, then I am content with a useful answer.
mircea_popescu: there can never be a complete list.
mircea_popescu: it is a reasonably complete list.
sina: then I am reasonably content :P
sina: asciilifeform, trinque, no misconceptions in my summary?
trinque: just the contentment!
sina: trinque: to clarify, contentment in understanding, not of the status quo
trinque: is joek
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-19#1686392 to this point : depends how much you're worth. if you're worth nothing, then you are thereby "safe" in this sense, that while protein rich i still don't eat the moths in my house. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-07-19 00:40 sina: given that. what are the practicalities, today, on the ground
mircea_popescu: otherwise, in order of cheapness-effectivity : 1) get an isolated box for rsa ops. this shouldn't ever connect ot the internet. stuffing into it a stick which was in a net-connected machine counts.
mircea_popescu: 2) get a proper power supply. this means -- that the power line should feed a battery, not your machine. you can measure leakage if you will, so this can be tweaked by hand to an arbitrary level.
mircea_popescu: 3) get a n-p detector, armed guards, your own spying machinery, declare interdiction zones, etcetera.
mircea_popescu: 4) infiltrate all conceivable enemies with your own agents
mircea_popescu: 5) take over the crown.
sina: mircea_popescu: only as a matter of curiosity, given your worth re above statement, do you take any of these actions?
mircea_popescu: somewhere between 1 and 3 most people have enough bellyache. because, really, it's never fucking worth it to 5.
mircea_popescu: sina yes. i actually infiltrate all conceivable enemies.
sina: :D

mircea_popescu: ah that's who that was.
mircea_popescu has seen the "you killed my father" a long time ago.
sina: that is the one, although the book from which it derived is equally enjoyable
sina: actually this quote seems like 100% mircea_popescu
sina: "You only think I guessed wrong! That's what's so funny! I switched glasses while your back was turned! Ha ha, you fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders - The most famous of which is "never get involved in a land war in Asia" - but only slightly less well-known is this: "Never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line"!

a111: Logged on 2015-12-28 01:23 mircea_popescu: the dictum "never get involved in a land war in asia" is mostly due to the fact that the portuguese were involved in a sea war in asia, and it worked splendidly for them.
mircea_popescu: aha.
sina: seek and ye shall find
mircea_popescu: dja see the difference in quality ?
mircea_popescu: not that i fault penny-an-hour hack/writer for not being able to reproduce reality in his fancy.

lobbes: in other questions: Prompted by up-stack threads and after much log reading I've concluded that a SSD is a must for trb-ing. Would an external usb SSD be adequate, versus, say a SATA connection?
asciilifeform: lobbes: generally no
lobbes: okay
asciilifeform: ( clogs the bus )
lobbes: damn. looks like my plans for my old craptop being a trb node will have to wait until I secure better iron.

BingoBoingo cleans

asciilifeform: it isn't like you gotta clean it with own tongue
mircea_popescu: keks
BingoBoingo has met people who after touching granular pesticide barehanded tried to insist "hand sanitizer" was sufficient cleaning.
BingoBoingo insisted STFU, GO HOSE!!!
BingoBoingo wonders how reactive a hand santizer would have to be to reliably convert most organic compounds to "safe" forms. Likely would look like a hand solving vat of H2SO4 + H2O2

ave1: mod6, asciilifeform: I've been playing with GNAT versions and the fact code
ave1: I also get this problem: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-16#1684855 ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-07-16 02:00 mod6: asciilifeform: here's what I get when I grab the generic Makefile, and use your fact.tar.gz: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/RaNYu/?raw=true
ave1: Turns out the version of gnat in gcc 4.9.* is based on GNAT GPL 2014 (from adacore)
ave1: (also in gcc 5.*, I've not looked in the 6.* range)
ave1: It seems that version has problems with inlined functions containing inlined functions
ave1: (like the Mul functions...)
shinohai: ave1 .... I got the same error as you (Have not looked into it further yet though)
shinohai: well, same error as mod6
ave1: yes, it seems that FSF gnat (the one in gcc) is not updated recently and for some reason it's really hard to compare version numbers between all the different gnats ☟︎
asciilifeform: ave1: can't be the reason, i have it working on 4.9
ave1: well I went to the source code of 4.9.4 and GPL 2015 and it differs on this point ☟︎
ave1: (and GPL 2014 and gcc 4.9.4 are the same)
asciilifeform: anyway if your gnat does this, it is rubbish, throw it out, i will not be v-releasing an ffa where everything is not inlined, each non-inlined routine is a ~10% speed ding.
ave1: I can build a gnat using the sources from adacore and all is fine
ave1: (but the 4.9 gcc from adacore does not match any 4.9.* release from FSF) ☟︎
shinohai: Lovely, nb
ave1: asciilifeform, how did you get your 4.9 version (I see two version in gentoo) ?
shinohai: !!up fromloper
deedbot: fromloper voiced for 30 minutes.
shinohai: heh
asciilifeform: ave1: by emerging at some point
ave1: p.s. I want to throw it out, but I like to have a version that cross compiles to ppc64le
asciilifeform: ave1: gonna have to patch , then, and cure the retardation.
ave1: and gcc 4.9.4 does so, but the adacore code has problems
asciilifeform: the confiscation of gnat from the idiots is inevitable. may as well begin with this.
ave1: ok, I will do some more banging against the wall on this
shinohai: ave1: Can you link me to the adacore sources that worked for you?
ave1: Go here: http://libre.adacore.com/download
ave1: select GPL-2015 (or 2016)
ave1: select sources
shinohai: thx
ave1: download gcc-4.9-gpl, gnat-gpl-2016, gcc-interface- files (so 3 files)
ave1: unpack all tree
ave1: copy gnat-gpl-*/src/ad to gcc-4.9-*/gcc/ (so you get an ada dir under gcc)
ave1: ad -> ada
ave1: copy gcc-interface-* to gcc-4.9-*/gcc/ada/gcc-interface (so rename of dir)
ave1: then you have a gcc you can build
ave1: p.s. the portage ebuild does exactly this (plus some gentoo patching)
ave1: see https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/dev-lang/gnat-gpl/gnat-gpl-2016.ebuild?id=27440b1aa409e5471622a0ad0bbebbf97e7f79c8
shinohai: Very resourceful, thank you
mod6: thanks ave1
ave1: p.s I already have a musl build for x86_64 (based on musl_cross) (works on adacore stuff and gcc-4.9.4), but is needs some more work
ave1: I like to default it to building static files binaries ☟︎
asciilifeform: ^ interesting, i'd like to see this
asciilifeform: it was on my conveyor and promised to be a very gnarly chore
ave1: yes, but mainly because the gnat makefiles hardcode the gnattool names at different places ☟︎
ave1: one moment, I will look for the diff
ave1: ok, this is the diff (also contains musl diffs from musl_cross)
ave1: http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/NXbbK/?raw=true
ave1: musl_cross from here: https://bitbucket.org/GregorR/musl-cross/
asciilifeform: of what is the diff ?
ave1: of clean gcc 4.9.4 from FSF to a gcc 4.9.4 that build with musl + gnat ☟︎
ave1: if you get musl_cross, and replace the gcc-4.9.4-musl.diff therein with this one
asciilifeform: ave1: consider writing down the recipe for this
ave1: plus add ada to the languages to build
ave1: will do, I will probably create version of musl_cross that does all this
asciilifeform: !!rated ave1
