Note

Hi, everyone. I've been putting in a lot of work on this over the last few ~~weeks~~ months (sob) and i'm currently underemployed!

Reverse Engineered VAS Protocol Specification

Research by Grayson Martin
Last Updated 7/8/23

Introduction

Value Added Services (VAS) is the protocol used by NFC capable passes in Apple Wallet. Access to this protocol is heavily restricted on both the device end (a special certificate issued by Apple is required to create these passes) and the reader end (NDA enforced confidentiality). As such, a desire arose to better understand the protocol in order to explore additional use cases and examine its cryptographic integrity. There are gaps in understanding in certain parts of this protocol, however this document contains the minimum necessary understanding to automatically select, read data from, and decrypt a pass.

Importantly, this specification does not enable a malicious actor to read the data from a pass for which they do not have both the reader's private key, and the pass type identifier. Imp

"What the heck is a Yubikey and why did I buy one?": A user guide

(EDIT: Besides Reddit, I've also put this up on Github Gist)

So while looking for information on security keys before getting one myself, I got very confused reading about all the different modes and advertised features of Yubikeys and other similar dongles. The official documentation tends to be surprisingly convoluted at times, weirdly organized and oddly shy about a few of the limitations of these keys (which I'm making a point of putting front and center). Now that I have one, I decided to write down everything I figured out in order to help myself (and hopefully some other people reading this) make sense of all this.

Since I'm partly writing these notes for myself, there might be some back and forth between "exp

What the BookCorpus?

So in the midst of all these Sesame Streets characters and robots transforming automobile era of "contextualize" language models, there is this "Toronto Book Corpus" that points to this kinda recently influential paper:

Yukun Zhu, Ryan Kiros, Rich Zemel, Ruslan Salakhutdinov, Raquel Urtasun, Antonio Torralba, and Sanja Fidler. 2015. "Aligning books and movies: Towards story-like visual explanations by watching movies and reading books." In Proceedings of the IEEE international conference on computer vision, pp. 19-27.

Why do I even care, there's no translations there?

Some might know my personal pet peeve on collecting translation datasets but this BookCorpus has no translations, so why do I even care about it?
