TrueCrypt Audit Cryptanalysis Finds No Backdoors

The results are in from the cryptanalysis phase of the TrueCrypt audit, and they show—nothing. Well, maybe not “nothing,” but certainly no signs of a deliberate backdoor from the NSA or any government entity, fears of which date back to the autumn of 2013, post-Snowden, and ignited talk to have t...

TrueCrypt Audit Cryptanalysis Handed Off to NCC Group

The stagnant TrueCrypt audit stirred to life in the last 24 hours with the announcement that the second phase of the audit, tasked with examining the cryptography behind the open source disk encryption software, will begin shortly. NCC Group’s Cryptography Services has been contracted to do the...

Crowdsourcing to be Part of Phase Two of TrueCrypt Audit

TrueCrypt may yet get forked, but it won’t come at the hands of the Open Crypto Audit Project OCAP, which has a working plan to move forward with a cryptanalysis of the open source encryption software. OCAP is the brand name for the grassroots movement that arose out of the ashes of the Snowden...

CVE-2014-0361

The default configuration of IBM 4690 OS, as used in Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions 4690 POS and other products, hashes passwords with the ADXCRYPT algorithm, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to obtain sensitive information via unspecified cryptanalysis of an ADXCSOUF.DAT...

Cryptanalysis Remains for TrueCrypt Audit

Phase two of the TrueCrypt audit figures to be a labor-intensive, largely manual cryptanalysis, according to the two experts behind the Open Crypto Audit Project OCAP. Matthew Green, crypto expert and professor at Johns Hopkins University, said a small team of experts will have to, by hand, exami...

TrueCrypt is Secure; Encryption Tool cleared the First Phase of Security Audit

Is TrueCrypt Audited Yet? Yes, In Part! One of the world's most-used open source file encryption software trusted by tens of millions of users - TrueCrypt is being audited by a team of experts to assess if it could be easily exploited and cracked. Hopefully it has cleared the first phase of the...

Amazon Linux AMI : gnupg (ALAS-2014-278)

GnuPG 1.x before 1.4.16 generates RSA keys using sequences of introductions with certain patterns that introduce a side channel, which allows physically proximate attackers to extract RSA keys via a chosen-ciphertext attack and acoustic cryptanalysis during decryption. NOTE: applications are not...

Scientific Linux Security Update : gnupg on SL5.x i386/x86_64 (20140108)

It was found that GnuPG was vulnerable to side-channel attacks via acoustic cryptanalysis. An attacker in close range to a target system that is decrypting ciphertexts could possibly use this flaw to recover the RSA secret key from that system. CVE-2013-4576 %NASLMINLEVEL 70300 C Tenable Network...
