Keep hearing about the "Threat" Huawei is, but where is the evidence? See a lot of articles and posts but no proof.
I'm more concerned about what Facebook, Google etc are tracking and "listening" to.There is no evidence because there is no proof. It's 100% political. It's absolutely ridiculous. And it's completely for the Americans, no other country even has an interest in this farce, but the actual threat, the US, is threatening everyone.
The suspicion here is that Huawei is refusing to spy for the US gov't and the US is trying to hurt them to pressure all the other suppliers to do exactly the thing that they are accusing Huawei of doing. It's Huawei's security that we believe is likely to actually be what they are threatened by. They've failed to get Five Eyes backdoors into Huawei products, so their goal now is to keep them off of the market so that more easily hacked or already hacked gear is the only option.
My understanding of the concern is over Huawei & the communist government for all the obvious reasons you can imagine.
The communist government in china is not something any of us should take lightly. I'm glad our government is taking this Huawei 5G stuff seriously.
Which brings me to the question I was going to ask this morning.
5G, how available is it in the US?
Telcos down here are beginning to brag about how 5G is already available in some areas.
The biggest problem I see with 5G down here is the place is so damn big with so few people, 5G will be too expensive to roll out as you need more infrastructure to carry the signal compared to 4G.

It is only available as marketing fluff and lies currently.

That's what I would have thought.
I watched a tech guy on Youtube about 3 months back. He had a 5G phone in a 5G area.
He stood next to a 5G antenna/aerial/repeater thing and the speed was incredible. He then stepped around the corner of the building he was standing out the front of and the signal died.
That demo showed me that this tech has a very long way to go before it's useful on a wide scale.

I don't see 5G as that useful for mobile - Point to point - sure, as an alternative to home based internet - again, sure.

@siringo I have heard similar stories where Verizon deployed it in the NFL stadiums and it does not cover the entire stadium. Any obstruction kills the signal.

King cake time!!!! Well, we're having jambalaya first.

Yeah, the real high speed is only available with the new signaling, which is in a high enough frequency band to be almost line of site only.

When securing SSH with Public/Private Keys, do i need to generate "Keys" for every person that will login?
Or can we "Share" a common key.I'm locking down some Linux Servers over the next few weeks, they are all internal servers and not accessed remotely via the internet. I'm the main person that will log in via SSH mainly to run updates and change the odd config file, but i want to check if i need to give other users SSH access.

You CAN share a common key. Dont. Its the same as sharing a password. Defeats so many security basics.

Not actual 5G. We work with operators and Huawei is the only actual 5G equipment out still. So no deployment in the US is actual 5G. Its all older, lower tech with just high speeds. More like wifi. So any demo you are seeing might be really fast, but it is a different tech than 5G.

5G uses a lot of frequency bands. So not constrained in that way.

You may want to create a post about this. It could make for a good conversation about SSH key usage in different situations.
Plus, I have pondered the same type of question.

Generate multiple sets, one for each person who could end up needing access. It's a trivial task to do and it ensures you know "who" logged in and when.

You CAN share a common key. Dont. Its the same as sharing a password. Defeats so many security basics.
Is it normal to use the same key over many servers at a user level? or a different key for each server for each person?

Common for users to have one key that they use for many servers.

It's a good work experience.
