Josh and Kurt talk about Australia's recently passed encryption bill. What is the law that was passed, what does it mean, and what are the possible outcomes? The show notes contain a flow chart of possible outcomes.

Josh and Kurt talk to a 7 year old about security. We cover Minecraft security, passwords, hacking, and many many other nuggets of wisdom.

Josh and Kurt talk about which articles of the GDPR apply to Santa, and if he's following the rules the way he should be (spoiler, he's probably not). Should Santa be on his own naughty list? We also create a new holiday character - George the DPO Elf!

Josh and Kurt talk about Facebook listening to your microphone, Google Chrome certificate pinning, CAs, 152 ways to stay safe, and Kubernetes.

Josh and Kurt talk about actual real world advice. Based on a story about trying to secure political campaigns, if we had to give some security help what should it look like, who should we give it to?

Josh and Kurt talk about Bloomberg's story about backdoors and motherboards. The story is probably false, but this is almost certainly happening already with hardware. What does it mean if your hardware is already backdoored by one or more countries?

Josh and Kurt talk about the sale of the corp.com domain. Is it going to be the end of the world, or a non event? We disagree on what should happen with it. Josh hopes an evildoer buys it, Kurt hopes for Microsoft. We also briefly discuss the CIA owning Crypto AG.

• corp.com is for sale
• CIA owned Crypto AG

Josh and Kurt talk about TLS 1.3 and DNS. What can we expect from the future for these, how are they related (or not related). We touch on DNSSEC and why it probably won't matter. DNS over TLS is looking pretty great though. There is also a guest appearance from quantum crypto.

Josh and Kurt talk about the EU bug bounty program. There have been a fair number of people complaining it's solving the wrong problem, but it's the only way the EU has to spend money on open source today. If that doesn't change this program will fail.

Josh and Kurt talk about the horrid state of digital literacy in the US. We start out talking about broken Phillips Hue light bulbs, then discuss research from Pew on the digital literacy of Americans. We may have accidentally discovered a use for all the cookie warnings every web site has.
