NIST Calls for Submissions to Secure Data Against Quantum Computing

For a layman, it may be difficult to fathom how a standards body could be playing catch-up to a threat that could be at least a decade away. But that’s the position NIST finds itself in with the risk that quantum computers pose to existing cryptographic algorithms. Working, practical quantum...

GnuPG: RNG output is predictable

Background The GNU Privacy Guard, GnuPG, is a free replacement for the PGP suite of cryptographic software. Description A long standing bug since 1998 in Libgcrypt see “GLSA 201610-04” below and GnuPG allows an attacker to predict the output from the standard RNG. Please review the “Entropy Loss...
