It would appear that it is yet again time to update my ever-expanding list of things the current administration does that would get me, someone who works in privacy, fired immediately:

New:
-Violating minimization principles by collating data from otherwise unrelated databases.
-Failing to maintain and transmit data in ways that limit linkability.
-Using data for purposes other than those disclosed to the data subject at time of collection.

Updating some slides about data sharing just now and was greeted by this banner at the top of the NDAR (AKA NIMH data archive, NDA, nda.nih.gov/) homepage. I don't know when the banner appeared; I last visited the site maybe a month ago.

Many NIH-funded human neuroscience-related projects are required to submit data (behavioral questionnaires, neuroimaging, many others) to NDAR, including some of the largest US fMRI projects (HCP, ABCD).

I consider its Data Dictionary a "least-bad" way to usefully share questionnaire data (it's no help to know that someone answered "5" to item 3 without knowing the question and answer that refers to).

Anyone know anything about the banner or NDAR's future?

Cryptography Handbook takeaways:
➡️Transition from Euler Totient Functions to Carmichael Functions for key generation, reduced decryption time without compromising security.
➡️Libraries like OpenSSL integrate Carmichael Function for RSA operations, ensuring compliance with standards.
➡️RSA's vulnerabilities due to deterministic and malleable properties were pivotal in shaping cryptographic standards.

This was really interesting and horrifying to read. It makes me want to buy a $20 burner smart phone for online shopping with a VPN.

But even scarier than the price gouging stuff, how do I know that Rite Aid didn’t sell information about me they obtained from facial recognition software when I went into their store/pharmacy to the government? They know I’m disabled because I’m on Medicare and I’m younger than 65. My disability doesn’t involve my ability to walk around a store, but if yours does will Rite Aid tell the government that they have video of you walking for 10 minutes just fine? Will that mess with your disability review? Maybe, who would even know?
