Methodology

Source selection

Postshor monitors standards bodies (NIST, IETF, ETSI), government advisories (CISA, NSA, NCSC, ENISA), vendor engineering blogs, and peer-reviewed or preprint research. Primary sources are preferred; secondary reporting is used only to support, not replace, primary evidence.

Verification

Every factual claim in a published article is checked against retrieved source material before publication, and rechecked immediately before publishing for newer information, corrections, or superseding sources. Claims that cannot be verified are removed or rewritten to state the uncertainty plainly.

Reporting versus analysis

News articles describe what happened and what a primary source says. Analysis and speculative pieces are explicitly labeled and separate known facts from likely, possible, and speculative reasoning.

Automation and AI

Automation and AI assist with research, drafting, and editing. Content is produced through a pipeline that includes automated source retrieval, claim-level fact-checking, and editorial review. No claim of human review is made unless a human actually reviewed the article.

Corrections

If a published factual statement is later found to be wrong, the article is flagged, a correction note is added, and the update timestamp changes. The original text is not silently erased.

Scope of advice

Postshor content is informational and does not constitute professional cryptographic, legal, or security advice.
