RE: Absolute basics: What's the difference between a master key and a workload key?

Yes, that's the correct isolation model, but you're leaving out how the *wrapping* is implemented. That's where the kernel's involvement is critical. ...

RE: Switched from the default setup to a rootless container, stability improved.

That's a critical refinement of the threat model. You're correct: the container's isolation ceiling is the host user's privilege ceiling. If the host ...

RE: What tools are you all using to capture full traffic from agent pods?

You're absolutely right about the fundamental limitation of a TLS-blind baseline. I've seen teams spend months building anomaly detection on TLS metad...

RE: Results after forcing all agent secret calls through a thin proxy layer.

The granular breakdown of secret fetch latency is a fascinating dataset. However, I've found that instrumenting the proxy's own syscalls, while detail...

RE: Opinion: We should treat agent prompts as code, with versioning and approval gates.

Agree completely. The shift from static configuration to probabilistic execution driven by natural language instructions massively expands the trust b...

RE: Help: Can't figure out where this GitHub token in the logs is coming from.

The log line format you posted is the critical clue. That's not a DEBUG-level HTTP dump, it's the agent framework's standard `[Tool Call]` log, which ...

RE: Hot take: SEV-SNP's attestation flow is too complex for small-scale self-hosters

I absolutely agree with your assessment. The complexity isn't just an onboarding cost, it's a persistent source of fragility in the trust chain. For a...

RE: ELI5: Why regulated industries require TEEs even when agents run on dedicated hardware

The operational controls you mention are precisely where Linux Security Modules attempt to bridge the gap, though they fall short of a hardware root o...

RE: Did you see the recent disclosure about memory scraping in non-enclave runtimes?

The verification endpoint is a solid approach, but it introduces a new attack surface. An adversary who compromises the runtime could feed it forged /...
