    Too bad, my submission has been rejected even though it had a lot more information which I'll post anyways:

    New security features include:

    • WPA3 uses the Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE) algorithm, which replaces Pre-shared Key (PSK) in WPA2-Personal, while WPA3-Enterprise uses a more complex set of features that replace IEEE 802.1X from WPA2-Enterprise. These are: authenticated encryption, key derivation and confirmation, key establishment and authentication, robust management frame protection.
    • WPA3 is resistant to dictionary attacks. The Wi-Fi Alliance says that WPA3's SAE is resistant to offline dictionary attacks where an attacker tries to guess a Wi-Fi network's password by trying various passwords in a quick succession.
    • Wi-Fi Easy Connect for WPA2 and WPA3: This feature is aimed at smart (Internet of Things) devices that don't have a screen where a user can configure its Wi-Fi network settings. For example, a user will be able to use his phone or tablet to configure the WiFi WPA3 options of another device that doesn't have a screen, such as tiny IoT equipment like smart locks, smart light bulbs, and others.
    • Wi-Fi Enhanced Open: a proprietary technology, which uses an algorithm known as Opportunistic Wireless Encryption (OWE) to encrypt each connection between a WiFi user and the router/access point with its own custom encryption key. This per-user encryption prevents local attackers from snooping on other users' traffic, even if the network doesn't require a password to join.

    HPKP allows the operator to declare this certificate or bust to regular users. Certificate transparency offers no such capability.

    Certificate transparency only provides "transparency". It doesn't allow operators to set declarative limits on what is acceptable.

    We don't need that ability if lack of CT causes the connection to bust. Admittedly we aren't quite there yet, but in the mean time, there's an HTTP header called Expect-CT is implemented in every evergreen browser. (There's DNS CAA, but it's not like a suborned CA will validate CAA, and I'm not aware of any plans to make browsers validate SSL cert against CAA statement, and this all assumes we can secure DNS.)

    If your website was gearing up for protest against local dictator and chief and they conspired against you obtaining a MITM cert from your CA and properly logged it to transparency log accordingly that information sure as hell won't do your users any good who are now being rounded up thanks to this ridiculous assertion of equivalence.

    In the situation where a single entity has complete packet rewrite ability for the connection to a user at all times, then neither HPKP nor CT will help you.

    The situation you described where a dictator suborns a regional certificate authority and publishes to the CT log is indeed a problem. The CT model calls this "getting caught" and doesn't deal with it beyond that. (Presumably Google thinks that if this happens to google.com they could trigger a diplomatic incident. Small guys are not so lucky.)

    It's the flip side to another problem though. Suppose that the dictator suborns the regional web host for my site and steals its key. I can set up a host elsewhere but I need to rotate the key. With HPKP, users will reject my new key and continue to use the old key to connect to the dictator-owned system.

    In either case, I think the technical solution is working revocation (state of the art being OCSP). I should be able to revoke any key that refers to my domain, through ACME-style proof of domain ownership.

    Certificate transparency *IS* a good thing and it is worth doing yet value offered by each approach does not fully overlap. Removal of HPKP only reduces security. It does not improve it.

    OK. I think you understand how CT and HPKP work well enough that I don't feel the need to keep arguing. I was mostly upset about "Certificate transparency = Lifelock commercial" (and claim that this move is caused by the NSA, which is a high-school quality calumny) which you've since walked back by stating that CT is good for security.

    I agree that the timing of the removal of HPKP is not security-first, I'd rather see full CT enforcement by default before we talk about removing HPKP, and I think the community should have a discussion about the difference, and how we handle those tough cases like the dictator case you suggested.

    Chrome claims that it doesn't matter when they remove HPKP because nearly nobody is using it (netcraft claims 4,100 certs in the world).

    First off, it's not enabled just yet. You have to jump through some hoops to enable it. You have to go through all this, at the moment:

    In chrome://flags enable the following flags:
    #enable-experimental-web-platform-features
    #enable-surfaces-for-videos
    #enable-picture-in-picture

    Download and extract the extension zip file.

    In chrome://extensions toggle Developer mode (upper-right corner) if it is not already on.

    To load the extension, click Load Unpacked.

    In the dialog box that appears locate and select the src/ folder from the directory where you unpacked the zip file.

    Navigate to any YouTube video and click the extension browser icon to toggle Picture-in-Picture for the current video.

    And if you want to see what all that gets you, it looks like this.

    All that being said, I'm sure that this feature will be abused at some point in the future, and there will be a setting to turn it off, and your clueless parents/aunt/grandparents/whatever will call you and bug you about a little TV on your screen they can't make go away.

    It's the IT circle of life. Advertiser wants feature to pester people with, people are pestered for a while, IT people turn off feature, advertiser wants new feature to pester people with...

    In the interest of finding some concrete details, I just searched for "PowerShell remove Store apps", and came up with this very useful page (lots of others came up, but this one looked good enough): https://www.askvg.com/guide-ho....

    There's some info on editing the hosts file here: https://www.bleepingcomputer.c..., with some links to sample hosts files that block certain ads servers. But it would be useful to know how editing the hosts file can be used to reduce telemetry without (for example) blocking updates.

    Given how insecure both the Mikrotiks and Ubiquiti's are (did you specifically choose those two because of this?), I think anyone doing any research into getting one will go straight back to Apple.
