A place for discussing the new developments in IT networking technologies that strive to enhance and assure privacy, security, and autonomy online, ensuring equitable and strong universal access to information.

You can share info about Confidential Computing software and hardware like Intel SGX enclaves, HSI, attestation, HEADS BIOS, and vendors like Nitrokey, Purism, Fairphone, Open Source Hardware, etc.

The Tor Project, Nym, mixmaster, Yggdrasil, Veilid, and other networking technologies can be discussed here. Questions could be answered by people versed in any of these networking projects.

Also, social media in such networking paradigms could be discussed and be of interest to the wider Mastodon community. You might think about how Amethyst with LND and LNC works, for example. Or have thoughts about developing a social media Veilid application. Facebook has an onion address. What about new networking technologies incorporated into the Fediverse?

Isolation is good for security reasons. Think of the Titanic design, if not the reality. Explain icebergs and compartments here.

that's the ELI5 version

Also similar to "sandboxing" (MAC, SELinux). Libre Wolf is isolating tabs tailored to specific site interaction profiles like "banking" and "personal" which conserves security while also (ideally) preserving requirements needed to still interact with the site. See a similar project called Bromium.
