THIS CLEVER NEW IDEA COULD FIX AIRTAG STALKING WHILE MAXIMIZING PRIVACY

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

In an effort to combat stalking, Apple modified its location privacy system for AirTags by reducing the frequency of key rotations to allow for better identification of malicious AirTags at a sacrifice of privacy. Researchers have devised a cryptographic scheme that blends secret sharing and error correction coding to better preserve user privacy while also allowing for anti-stalking detection. The group of researchers has proposed their scheme to a consortium of Apple, Google, and other companies working on this issue.
