Quantum Computers Are Not a Threat to 128-bit Symmetric Keys

The advancing threat of cryptographically-relevant quantum computers has made it urgent to replace currently-deployed asymmetric cryptography primitives—key exchange ECDH and digital signatures RSA, ECDSA, EdDSA—which are vulnerable to Shor’s quantum algorithm. It does not, however, impact existi...

CVE-2008-4368: Undefined Security Weakness

The default configuration of Java 1.5 on Apple Mac OS X 10.5.4 and 10.5.5 contains a jurisdiction policy that limits Java Cryptography Extension JCE key sizes to 128 bits, which makes it easier for attackers to decrypt ciphertext produced by JCE...
