Google Chrome 127 introduces application-bound encryption on Windows
- Google Chrome 127 now introduces application-bound encryption on Windows to improve the security of Chrome cookies against infostealer malware.
- Chrome currently protects data like cookies and passwords using the strongest techniques provided by the OS.
- However, Chrome on Windows uses the Data Protection API (DPAPI), which doesn't protect against malicious applications that execute code as logged in user.
- To deal with this issue, Chrome has introduced App-Bound Encryption on Windows.
- The new technique encrypts data tied to the app's identity, improving security against attacks from infostealers that try to access sensitive data.
- The App-Bound Encryption service encodes app identity into encrypted data while encrypting, which is verified during decryption by the App-Bound service.
- App-Bound Encryption increases the cost of data theft to attackers and makes their actions noisier on the system.
- As Chrome's malware landscape continually evolves, it aims to continue engaging with others in the security community to improve detections, along with strengthening operating system protections.
- The Stable channel has been updated to 127.0.6533.88/89 for Windows and Mac and 127.0.6533.88 for Linux.
- The update includes three security fixes. As usual, bug details and links may be restricted until a majority of users receive the fix.

Oops. Apple relied on bad code while flaming Google Chrome's Topics ad tech
- Apple criticized Google's ad tech Topics system that serves ads based on Chrome history.
- Apple cited a research paper by professors from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
- Apple claimed that Topics aids digital fingerprinting, which could be used by advertisers.
- The fingerprinting risk is overstated due to improper randomization code in research paper.
- Topics provides a privacy-preserving way for advertisers to target people based on their interests inferred from their browsing activity.
- Topics originally intended to replace third-party cookies, but privacy concerns caused Google to reconsider.
- Many different web APIs can be used for browser fingerprinting and reducing the potential for misuse is an ongoing effort.
- Google Topics engineer Josh Karlin found a bug in the worker pool code which reduced the potential for fingerprinting risk.
- The revised simulation shows a much reduced fingerprinting risk.
- Apple's criticism of Topics is reasonable, but the privacy risk posed by the API is less than initially assumed.
