EU ‘Going Dark’ Expert Group Publishes 42-Point Surveillance Plan For Access To All Devices And Data At All Times

Although this “chat control” law has been the main focus of the EU’s push for more surveillance of innocent citizens, it is by no means the end of it. As the German digital rights site Netzpolitik reports, work is already underway on further measures, this time to address the non-existent “going dark” threat to law enforcement:

The group of high-level experts had been meeting since last year to tackle the so-called „going dark“ problem. The High-Level Group set up by the EU was characterized by a bias right from the start: The committee is primarily made up of representatives of security authorities and therefore represents their perspective on the issue.

[T]he 42-point surveillance plan, manufacturers are to be legally obliged to make digital devices such as smartphones, smart homes, IoT devices, and cars monitorable at all times (“access by design”). Messenger services that were previously securely encrypted are to be forced to allow for interception. Data retention, which was overturned by the EU Court of Justice, is to be reenacted and extended to OTT internet communications services such as messenger services. “At the very least”, IP connection data retention is to be required to be able to track all internet activities. The secure encryption of metadata and subscriber data is to be prohibited. Where requested by the police, GPS location tracking should be activated by service providers (“tracking switch”). Uncooperative providers are to be threatened with prison sentences. The results of the hacking of an entire communication service, as in the Encrochat case (the evidence has been rejected by some courts), shall be used as evidence in court. — Patrick Breyer, June 2024

The report on the approximate air support competition between the A-10 and the F-35 appears

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 03/11/2023 - 22:35in Military

A newly emerged report offers some new details about a test that compared the A-10 Warthog attack plane and the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter attack fighter, but raises more questions about the ability of the 5ª generation jet to complete the A-10's approximate air support mission.

The confidential report, completed in February 2022 by the Department of Defense's Testing and Evaluation Office, was recently released with heavy writings to the Government Supervision Project, which sued the Pentagon in a federal court after its FOIA request for the report was denied.

The report describes the results of an approximate air support flight between the F-35A and the A-10C, which was determined by Congress in the National Defense Authorization Act of 2017 and carried out in 2019.

The test was conducted in “low and medium threat environments” and not in a hostile or high threat environment because the “F-35A, along with the F-35B and F-35C, is being thoroughly evaluated during the IOT&E of the F-35 in high threat scenarios versus modern and dense combat aircraft and surface-to-air missiles, missions for which the A-10C was not designed,” the report said.

No ground troops participated in the flight, which does not “invalidate the conclusions of this report,” DOT&E wrote in the report. "However, a more dynamic and representative environment may be required for operational testing of these missions to evaluate improvements in the performance of these or any other systems under test."

Many details are hidden in the version released for POGO. For example, it says that the A-10 “allowed more attacks than the typical loading of the F-35A,” but does not reveal how many targets each aircraft hit in the test.

The A-10 and F-35 involved in the flyoff flew a combined total of 117 and a half hours of flight in 69 missions. A complete analysis of the sorties and flight hours, as well as when and where these tests took place, in the three sets of missions, is seen above.

The essays make it difficult to discern the context of some of the statements. But there are indications that it took more F-35 missions than A-10 missions to fulfill some missions. For example, this half-sentence ("more A-10C sorties would be necessary to attack the same number of targets") is followed by this text: "The number of sorties needed to complete the same mission objectives in contested environments would depend on air defense suppression plans."

This may result in part of the A-10's ability to carry more ammunition. The attack plane was designed around a huge 30mm GAU-8 cannon that contains 1,350 cartridges of ammunition, while the F-35's 25mm GAU-22 cannon can carry only about 181 cartridges.

Elsewhere, the report noted the ability of the A-10 to fly closer to the targets than the F-35:

"The test team did not record the inclined range of the target with the generated coordinates, so its effect cannot be evaluated directly. Even so, tactics usually caused A-10C pilots to fly closer to the target than F-35A pilots, which could explain some of the differences in measured location errors. The target location error only affects the use of GPS-aided weapons. In any case, the location error is sufficient to indicate the aiming pod of another aircraft [approximate air support].

The report also noted that the most recent weapon did not always manage to fire in a straight line. DOT&E told the Pentagon to “fix the F-35A cannon, improve digital communication, video data linkability and interoperability with 4ª generation aircraft, and develop training programs to further improve the effectiveness of the F-35A in these missions.”

Russ Goemaere, spokesman for the F-35 Joint Program Office, said that the program "improved" the weapon and interoperability of the jet with 4ª generation fighters and said that "they are effective".

In his own analysis, Dan Grazier of POGO wrote: "Despite the heavy essays in the released report, it is clear that the results of these flawed tests disappointed the constituted powers. If the F-35 had been the winner, there would be no doubt that a clear and declarative statement of this fact would have appeared prominently in the initial paragraph of the report."

The U.S. Air Force did not want to comment on the report, nor did it say whether the leaders of the armed forces tried to prevent the release of the report. A spokesman said that close air support is a mission, not a specific platform.

"The future force will inherently be capable of approximate air support, with multifunctional capabilities to ensure survivability in all scenarios. Although successful in permissive environments, the A-10 will not have the ability to survive in a highly disputed future fight,” said service spokeswoman Ann Stefanek.

The U.S. military has made intense use of the A-10 in recent decades, moving it to Iraq for multiple conflicts and to Afghanistan against the Taliban. More recently, the U.S. sent Warthogs to the Middle East to deter aggression and prevent the spread of the Israel-Hamas war.

Air Force officers have sought to retire the A-10, which was introduced in 1977 as a Soviet tanker. But their arguments - that money would be better applied to more modern aircraft, that satellite and laser-guided bombs were sufficient for close air support missions - met strong resistance from legislators whose districts housed A-10 or ground troops they protect. Still, the last few years seem to be ending the service of the plane.

When asked about the report, one of the prominent members of the House Armed Services Committee said he is ready to say goodbye to the A-10 - if not its capabilities. Congressman, chairman of the tactical subcommittee on air and ground forces of the HASC, says he is confident that the Air Force will be able to find a way to maintain approximate air support capabilities as it advances to the F-35.

Bandai Chose Amazon Web Services for Tamagotchi Uni for Two Reasons

By now we all know that Bandai partnered with Amazon Web Services (AWS) when creating the Tamagotchi Uni. This fuels many features from over the air software updates, and more. In a recent interview with Yuri Okamoto (left) and Daisuke Sakamoto (right), they explain why Tamagotchi Uni uses AWS, and not other platforms such as Azure or Oracle.

According to Mr. Sakamoto, there are two main reasons for adopting AWS as a cloud platform that realizes a series of functions. The first is that AWS provided FreeRTOS, which was decided to be adopted as the OS of the Tamagotchi Uni. FreeRTOS is a real-time operating system kernel for embedded devices. This provides ease of cooperation with the cloud, especially AWS.

The goal for Tamagotchi Uni was to be able to get Tamagotchi users excited all over the world, which was critical during the planning stage.

Second, AWS provided the security Bandai was looking for. This included device authentication. "When it comes to releasing it all over the world and distributing content on the same model, technically, in addition to device authentication, security that children are not exposed to malicious intent is important. Based on that, we compared and examined the IoT services of each company, and as a result, we contacted the AWS inquiry window," said Sakamoto.

"Tamagotchi has released a different series in Japan and overseas, and recently the ones for Europe and the United States have become popular. I think that the global visibility has also increased, and I wanted to provide content where Tamagotchi users from all over the world can get excited together here." (Mr. Okamoto).

Using AWS Bandai is also able to collect data on how children play with Tamagotchi. They do not collect personal information but they are able to measure which items are polar, and Bandai will make sure of that information in the future for content production.

"As a feature of products equipped with Wi-Fi and connected to the cloud, we can now see information such as how much it is played. I want to connect such information to the improvement of future play." (Mr. Sakamoto)
