Project mention: The U.K. Paid $724,000 For A Creepy Campaign To Convince People That Encryption is Bad. It Won’t Work. | reddit.com/r/unitedkingdom | 2022-01-25
Get your copies while it's still legal. In all seriousness though, this kind of scaremongering is a blatant power grab. Anybody who understands encryption knows this "think of the children" line is just them wanting a finger in every pie for the sake of power, and that weakening crypto with a "government backdoor" is worst idea ever. Right now, they have no way of stopping end to end encryption, so their best bet is to sway public opinion (or create an environment whereby MPs don't want to disagree with new anti-crypto legislation for fear of being villainised by mouth-breathing middle Englanders for "endangering the children"). Once they have it on the books, they can crack down on the big boys like Facebook to prevent E2E being too prevalent. It won't stop those determined to communicate securely, but it will strip away a layer of protection for the average, everyday user and provide the UK gov with another lever of control. Honestly, the security services have gotten used to having all the data they could ever want since Ultra, and are bricking it that they can no longer just scrape for keywords and metadata links to map out entire networks of terrorists and criminals.

Kore
An easy to use, scalable and secure web application framework for writing web APIs in C or Python. || This is a read-only mirror, please see https://kore.io/mail and https://kore.io/source for information on how to contribute via the mailing lists.
Another stack for writing C (or now python) is https://kore.io which offers quite a few helper features, and its easy to get started

If you want to see a real implemention of arbitrary sized integer math, mbedTLS is a great example:
https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls/blob/development/library/...
All of the ECC code in that library relies on this code, which can be accelerated by dedicated hardware.

wolfssl
The wolfSSL library is a small, fast, portable implementation of TLS/SSL for embedded devices to the cloud. wolfSSL supports up to TLS 1.3!
There are many notable open-source projects (SSLyze, CipherScan, testssl.sh, tls-scan, …) and several SaaS solutions (CryptCheck, CypherCraft, Hardenize, ImmuniWeb, Mozilla Observatory, SSL Labs, …) to do a security setting analysis, especially when we are talking about TLS, which is the most common and popular cryptographic protocol. However, most of these tools heavily depend on one or more versions of one or more cryptographic protocol libraries, like GnuTLS, OpenSSL, or wolfSSL. But why is this such a problem?

libresbc
An open source Session Border Controller, The SBC you dream about 🌟 LibreSBC will help you save thousands of dollars.
Here's a preconfigured kamailio+freeswitch distro that I found that looks pretty point-and-click. Maybe a better fit for your needs: https://github.com/hnimminh/libresbc

disco-c
A tiny C cryptographic library to encrypt sessions, authenticate messages, sign, hash, etc. based only on SHA-3 and Curve25519
Project mention: STM32 call to memcpy causes hardfault (the call to memcpy itself, not the execution of memcpy) | reddit.com/r/stm32 | 2021-06-14The code below is my modification of the original library code where the assignment to *s2 was replaced by a memcpy. The original code can be found on the library's github.

- Remember Stalkers. Anomaly is not the only modification that exists. Still alot of time before Stalker 2 will be released, so if you are bored you can try some of them. My favorite is Lost Alpha and newly released OP 2.2.
