How good to have you here again. It's been a minute. Not that the world stopped in any shape or form. Quite some things happened in the meantime. Fortunately for us, we forgot some, and love remembering what we like ☀️😎 on this note please remember that there's a beach somewhere, near or far from you, waiting to be explored 🩴 --- ## Brazil leaps forward The Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), is hosting the National Conference of Data Producers and Users - National Sovereignty in Geosciences, Statistics, and Data. [About the event - Conferência Nacional dos Agentes Produtores e Usuários de Dados![](https://eventos.ibge.gov.br/templates/confest/favicon.ico)National Conference of Data Producers and UsersDanilo Almeida de Jesus![](https://eventos.ibge.gov.br/templates/confest/imagens/exportimg.jpg)](https://eventos.ibge.gov.br/en/conferencia-soberania-nacional/) Our very own [Jaromil](https://jaromil.dyne.org) was invited at the round table for digital cross communication and the risks and opportunities for data producers and users in the Digital Era. He explains what we are doing with our friends at [AvantGarden](https://www.avantgarden.com.br/) to push progress in the country towards decentralization and privacy. If you enjoy this dyne's smartypants speech then also have a look at all the Leonardo LASER talks on "Arts and Sciences" that happened just a few days ago. For the topic “The Nature of Information” a lot more interesting dynes took a stab at saying something different, see the amazing program, looks like a rave where every dancer has a stage 🕺🏽💃🏽🪭 [![](https://news.dyne.org/content/images/2024/08/10.-INFO-CONFERENCE-2024-HI-RES-WHITE-scaled-e1715541427302.jpg)](https://leonardo.info/civicrm/event/info?reset=1&id=913) ##### IEEE - International Conference on Blockchain Perhaps we are lucky there is a new hype cycle in tech. Now folks at IEEE are quite serious when it comes to technology and they are soon holding an International Conference on Blockchain, which has less marketing than the usual hype. [Blockchain-2024 | 2024 IEEE International Conference on Blockchain![](https://static.ghost.org/v5.0.0/images/link-icon.svg)2024 IEEE International Conference on Blockchain![](https://ieee-cybermatics.org/2024/blockchain/images/banner.jpg)](https://ieee-cybermatics.org/2024/blockchain/) Don't let yourself be fooled by the old-school website, this is some serious stuff, and if you're into Blockchain and Cryptography, it won't disappoint. Especially because our best DD (Danish Dyne) will be there to present our latest paper, recently accepted for publication. [SD-BLS: Privacy Preserving Selective Disclosure of Verifiable Credentials with Unlinkable Threshold RevocationEnsuring privacy and protection from issuer corruption in digital identity systems is crucial. We propose a method for selective disclosure and privacy-preserving revocation of digital credentials using second-order Elliptic Curves and Boneh-Lynn-Shacham (BLS) signatures. We make holders able to present proofs of possession of selected credentials without disclosing them, and we protect their presentations from replay attacks. Revocations may be distributed among multiple revocation issuers using publicly verifiable secret sharing (PVSS) and activated only by configurable consensus, ensuring robust protection against issuer corruption. Our system’s unique design enables extremely fast revocation checks, even with large revocation lists, leveraging optimized hash map lookups.![](https://arxiv.org/static/browse/0.3.4/images/icons/apple-touch-icon.png)arXiv.orgDenis Roio![](https://arxiv.org/static/browse/0.3.4/images/arxiv-logo-fb.png)](https://arxiv.org/abs/2406.19035) --- ### 📡 Under the radar So many things! So many news to report! Some of which are already old. But did they hit your radar? Like Switzerland going all in on FOSS and fondue? Well, not that many Swiss heard about the former either. Is it true? Only a decent probe of the landscape of legal loopholes moved by this news can tell. But it sure is uplifting!

Another highlight that's gone partially undercover. **Dyne has it's own webTV**! You might have noticed some dyne vids were hosted at [diode.zone](https://diode.zone), a peertube instance ran by very kind ethereal beings from a neighboring planet. Because they needed to scale down, we now host our own! **Wonders of federation**! 🤝 **Mad love and thanks for the help diode.zone! 💞** If you have an account on Mastodon or the fediverse at large, you can follow the server by searching for `@peertube@tv.dyne.org` in your instance's search box. That way you'll get all the latest vids straight to your timeline!

The gloat resulting from a failing a corporate overlord. It's quite something. Perhaps this what they mean when they talk about "bitter sweet"? You hardly missed out on the epic fail of that micro-thingie 🤏🏽, *cough* poetically *cough* called "**Crowdstrike**" 😹🍭. Imagine a crowd on strike. Well, it is sort of what happened. But not that kind of way. It was pretty bad actually. Especially for small businesses that saw their entire Friday revenue go down the drain, people losing airplanes or even worst being stuck at a hospital check-in. For others it was more like a Friday should be: relaxed with not too much to do. ![](https://news.dyne.org/content/images/2024/07/photo_2024-07-19_17-15-27.webp) Regardless how you look at it, this event is not just a bug in a system that was supposed to protect us from bugs, but it underlines a systemic issue and it should be taken as a wake-up call: [Worldwide outage 2024 — early reflections on the Crowdstrike BSODSolutions to this mess cannot be patches.

The Threat Modeling Community Group at W3C is one such initiative happening. [Threat Modeling Community GroupThe group’s purpose is to provide a meeting point for Security, Privacy, and Human Rights experts, along with technology domain experts, to create Threat Models together.![](https://www.w3.org/community/tmcg/wp-content/themes/StoryTeller/favicon.ico)w3c logoW3C Team![](https://www.w3.org/community/tmcg/wp-content/themes/StoryTeller/img/cgbg-logo.png)](https://www.w3.org/community/tmcg/) This is an interdisciplinary effort that aims at including a bit more voices than the usual techies into realizing what are the threats for, uhm... a lot of things being planned on our heads, like for instance the [current EUDI ARF privacy fiasco](https://github.com/eu-digital-identity-wallet/eudi-doc-architecture-and-reference-framework/discussions/211).

In a weird turn of events, some kind of judge dismissed DMCA copyright claim in GitHub Copilot suit. Many dynes are surprised. [The Internet Archive is being sued for being a library doing library things](https://blog.archive.org/tag/lawsuit/): is there some hope for a dismissal there as well, or is this application of law discriminating between AI and humans?
