La polizia israeliana ha dichiarato che tutti i luoghi sacri della Città Vecchia di Gerusalemme sacri a cristiani, musulmani ed ebrei, sono stati chiusi ai fedeli dall’inizio dell’attacco di Stati Uniti e Israele all’Iran, in particolare i luoghi sprovvisti di rifugi antiaerei.
Non c’e’ cospirazione qui ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The best option is to pay the hotels directly.
Try pi.dev. It’s also open source and works fast and without all those bells and whistles.
Actual NFC payments (as well as security in general) are absolutely irrelevant to this attestation technology. NFC for payments works perfectly (and not by a bit less securely) without all this “security” circus — because NFC payments (and any other kind of banking or payments) is just a completely different thing.
The only thing that this kind of attestation does is proves to the app (in this example, a banking app), that the device it runs on has been deemed by the OEM (or Google in case of Play Integrity) as worthy.
And I specifically wrote it as “deemed as worthy” because it is exactly what it is: “deemed” doesn’t mean that it was certified or analysed for vulnerability or even properly updated, and “worthy” doesn’t mean that it’s actually secure or even capable to be secure.
This whole technology and the claims about its “security” is just a marketing scam that allows Google/OEMs to control your phone by ensuring that you’re not running some software not approved/sold by them specifically (e.g. GrapheneOS, LineageOS, PostmarketOS, your own Linux build, MS-DOS 6.11 — doesn’t matter) and for both the OEMs and the apps (banks in this case) to create a visibility of security without actually ensuring this security.
It doesn’t matter who controls the attestation “authority” — Google or random European companies — in the end this technology is still evil and even harmful for real security — by design.
