Facial-Recognition Flop: Face Masks Thwart Virus, Stump Security Systems

Face masks not only have shown in research to slow the spread of COVID-19, they also deter facial-recognition technology from correctly identifying people, according to a new study. New research from the National Institute of Standards and Technology NIST found that even the best of 89 commercial...

Nationwide Facial Recognition Ban Proposed By Lawmakers

Lawmakers have proposed legislation that would indefinitely ban the use of facial recognition technology by law enforcement nationwide. The new bill comes after months of public concerns surrounding facial recognition’s implications for data privacy, government surveillance and racial bias. The...

The vulnerability of the SSL_check_chain function in the TLS protocol implementation of the OpenSSL library involves the possibility of reassigning the null pointer due to incorrect processing of the “signature_algorithms_cert” extension in TLS. This allows a perpetrator to cause a service failure.

The vulnerability of the SSLcheckchain function in the TLS protocol implementation of the OpenSSL library is related to the possibility of replacing the zero pointer due to incorrect processing of the “signaturealgorithmscert” extension in TLS. Exploiting this vulnerability can allow a malicious...
