Zoom Rolls Out End-to-End Encryption After Setbacks

Video-conferencing giant Zoom is rolling out a technical preview of its end-to-end encryption E2EE next week. Zoom has faced various controversies around its encryption policies over the past year, including several lawsuits alleging that the company falsely told users that it offers full...

PHP 7.2 < 7.2.34 / 7.3.x < 7.3.23 / 7.4.x < 7.4.11 Mulitiple Vulnerabilities

According to its self-reported version number, the version of PHP running on the remote web server is 7.2.x prior to 7.2.34, 7.3.x prior to 7.3.23 or 7.4.x prior to 7.4.11. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilties: - A weak cryptography vulnerability exists in PHP's opensslencrypt...

Reconstruct Instead of Validating

Project Zero dropped a great bug in Vault which I think would have been prevented by one of the lessons learned of cryptography engineering: when you can, always prefer reconstructing a value rather than parsing and validating it. You should read the blog post to understand the attack first,...

nss: PKCS#1 v1.5 signatures can be used for TLS 1.3

A vulnerability exists where it possible to force Network Security Services NSS to sign CertificateVerify with PKCS1 v1.5 signatures when those are the only ones advertised by server in CertificateRequest in TLS 1.3. PKCS1 v1.5 signatures should not be used for TLS 1.3 messages. This vulnerabilit...

Cryptobugs Found in Numerous Google Play Store Apps

Researchers have discovered more than 300 apps on the Google Play Store breaking basic cryptography code using a new tool they developed to dynamically analyze it. Academics from Columbia University developed a custom tool, CRYLOGGER, that analyzes Android applications for unsafe use of...

More on NIST's Post-Quantum Cryptography

Back in July, NIST selected third-round algorithms for its post-quantum cryptography standard. Recently, Daniel Apon of NIST gave a talk detailing the selection criteria. Interesting stuff. NOTE: We're in the process of moving this blog to Wordpress. Comments will be disabled until the move it...

NaCl Is Not a High-Level API

When talking about high-level application cryptography APIs I usually hear mentioned libsodium, Tink, pyca/cryptography, and NaCl. One of these things is not like the others! The value NaCl had 10 years ago was that it was an opinionated library at a time when all cryptography libraries were...

GHSA-WQGX-4Q47-J2W5 Insecure Cryptography Algorithm in parsel

All versions of parsel use an insecure cryptography algorithm. The package uses aes-256-cbc without integrity checks, which renders the ciphertext vulnerable to bit-flipping attacks. Recommendation The package is deprecated and will not be updated. Consider using an alternative package...
