@w3c This doesn't seem like an open standard to me, although pretends to be one. Why not? Because it supports proprietary lock-in. Lock-in how? Look at section 8, where several hardware attestation methods are listed: https://www.w3.org/TR/2026/CR-webauthn-3-20260526/#sctn-defined-attestation-formats

Is there any guarantee or assurance that a given platform implement support for *all* hardware attestation methods, including ones that are not proprietary? No such assurance. A platform could support, say Android and Apple''s attestation methods **only** (skipping the actual Open Standard of FIDO U2F), and no other.

So my bank could support Android and Apple iOS attestation **only**, eschewing my Yubikey's FIDO U2F, as used from my #Linux desktop. I'm left to the mercy of my bank, as to whether they feel like implementing FIDO U2F or not.

This standard masquerades as an open standard, then allows locking Linux (and other similar #OpenSource) desktops out.

Super hyped to FINALLY be able to release my little baby as open source: meet 'cloud active defense', a simple deception proxy that (I hope) cybercriminals (and red teamers !) will hate.

https://github.com/SAP/cloud-active-defense

The doc is not complete but the main parts are there. I hope to release demo videos and more soon.

I really hope that it will help popularize the potential of deception-based security.

What do you think about it?

#infosec #deception #honeytokens #cloudactivedefense #opensource

You can now deploy #honeytokens right into your web applications hosted on kubernetes 🥳

The paint is still fresh and we need to update the doc but you can already test it.

Feedback welcome

#cloudactivedefense #opensource #infosec #deception

Automated, offensive AI use is on the rise. On the flip side, AI struggles to tell real data from fake one :)

Timing could not be better: our #deception tech was just released as a Community Module for #Kyma (https://kyma-project.io), making it way more easy to deploy and test.

This project is maintained and developed (with love) in a best-effort way but it works reasonably well from what we could judge so far. Feedback welcome !
