An exploration of Wi-Fi Aware for Bitchat (and other ad-hoc networks) - HackMD

Bitchat is an open source peer-to-peer mesh communication network started in the summer of 2025 by Jack Dorsey. It's available on iOS, Android, and MacOS. Others have explored beyond this, with a terminal client and a self-powered ESP32-based mesh relay node. In theory, Bitchat enables cross-platform peer-to-peer messaging even when there's no cellular or Wi-Fi network available. In practice, it's not proven to be reliable in an offline environment. However, I believe it could be, and it's clear that the team agrees and is actively working toward that end.

Security research on Private Cloud Compute - Apple Security Research

Private Cloud Compute (PCC) fulfills computationally intensive requests for Apple Intelligence while providing groundbreaking privacy and security protections — by bringing our industry-leading device security model into the cloud. To build public trust in our system, we’re making it possible for researchers to inspect and verify PCC’s security and privacy guarantees by releasing tools and resources including a comprehensive PCC Security Guide, the software binaries and source code of key PCC components, and — in a first for any Apple platform — a Virtual Research Environment, which allows anyone to install and test the PCC software on a Mac with Apple silicon.

Apple and Google are gradually expanding their use of hardware-based attestation. They're convincing a growing number of services to adopt it. Google's Play Integrity API and Apple's App Attest API are very similar. Apple brought it to the web via Privacy Pass, which Google intends on doing too.

Comforting Myths - Infrequently Noted

I've been hearing confusing reports of Apple's openness to collaboration on challenging APIs so often that either my priors are invalid, or something else is at work. To find out, I needed data.
