INTEL-SA-00086 extracting the secret key used to encrypt Intel CPU code: is the digital signature bypassed?

In a recent attack to INTEL-SA-00086, the researchers are able to extract the secret key that encrypts updates to various Intel CPUs.
In the arstechnica blog it is mentioned as

The key may also allow parties other than Intel—say a malicio… Continue reading INTEL-SA-00086 extracting the secret key used to encrypt Intel CPU code: is the digital signature bypassed?

New Win10 and Old YubiKey4; trying to configure GPG Sign for existing key

I have been using a YubiKey 4 to sign git commits for a few years on Ubuntu.
I am setting up a new Windows10 machine and want to use the same signing key from Windows; however I cannot seem to point gpg at the YubiKey private signing key.

Is there a protocol that provides data integrity, but not encryption for HTTP?

HTTP
I’m aware that HTTP sends plain text over the network which can be sniffed and modified if a MITM is performed.
HTTPS
On the other hand, HTTPS sends encrypted text over the network that can neither be sniffed nor modified.
Other?
I’m … Continue reading Is there a protocol that provides data integrity, but not encryption for HTTP?
