Cybersecurity in the Age of Instant Software - Schneier on Security
Cybersecurity in the Age of Instant Software - Schneier on Security
AI is rapidly changing how software is written, deployed, and used. Trends point to a future where AIs can write custom software quickly and easily: “instant software.” Taken to an extreme, it might become easier for a user to have an AI write an application on demand—a spreadsheet, for example—and delete it when you’re done using it than to buy one commercially. Future systems could include a mix: both traditional long-term software and ephemeral instant software that is constantly being written, deployed, modified, and deleted. AI is changing cybersecurity as well. In particular, AI systems are getting better at finding and patching vulnerabilities in code. This has implications for both attackers and defenders, depending on the ways this and related technologies improve...

It's Not Just What Agents Can Do...It's When They Can Do It!
Agents don't just perform actions; they execute plans where the safety of each step depends on what has already happened. That makes sequencing an authorization problem. This post explores how policy, delegation data, and multi-signature approval can govern the order in which agents receive authority, not just the scope of it.

Cross-Domain Delegation in a Society of Agents
Cross-Domain Delegation in a Society of Agents
Cross-domain delegation requires more than transferring a credential. In a society of agents, policies define boundaries, promises communicate intent derived from those policies, credentials carry delegated authority, and reputation allows trust to emerge through repeated interactions.

You Can't Hide a Secret from a Process That Runs as You
I tried six different approaches to protect my credentials from an AI coding agent. Encrypted files, keychain, ACLs, Touch ID, a native addon, sandboxes. Every one failed for the same reason.

The Promptware Kill Chain - Schneier on Security
The Promptware Kill Chain - Schneier on Security
Attacks against modern generative artificial intelligence (AI) large language models (LLMs) pose a real threat. Yet discussions around these attacks and their potential defenses are dangerously myopic. The dominant narrative focuses on “prompt injection,” a set of techniques to embed instructions into inputs to LLM intended to perform malicious activity. This term suggests a simple, singular vulnerability. This framing obscures a more complex and dangerous reality. Attacks on LLM-based systems have evolved into a distinct class of malware execution mechanisms, which we term “promptware.” In a ...
