CVE-2024-1544

Generating the ECDSA nonce k samples a random number r and then truncates this randomness with a modular reduction mod n where n is the order of the elliptic curve. Meaning k = r mod n. The division used during the reduction estimates a factor qe by dividing the upper two digits a digit having e....

Lattice-Based Cryptosystems and Quantum Cryptanalysis

Quantum computers are probably coming, though we dont know when--and when they arrive, they will, most likely, be able to break our standard public-key cryptography algorithms. In anticipation of this possibility, cryptographers have been working on quantum-resistant public-key algorithms. The...

New Lattice Cryptanalytic Technique

A new paper presents a polynomial-time quantum algorithm for solving certain hard lattice problems. This could be a big deal for post-quantum cryptographic algorithms, since many of them base their security on hard lattice problems. A few things to note. One, this paper has not yet been peer...

Improving the Cryptanalysis of Lattice-Based Public-Key Algorithms

The winner of the Best Paper Award at Crypto this year was a significant improvement to lattice-based cryptanalysis. This is important, because a bunch of NISTs post-quantum options base their security on lattice problems. I worry about standardizing on post-quantum algorithms too quickly. We are...

A Celebrated Cryptography-Breaking Algorithm Just Got an Upgrade

Two researchers have improved a well-known technique for lattice basis reduction, opening up new avenues for practical experiments in cryptography and mathematics...

PT-2023-9405

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions WolfSSL affected versions not specified Description The issue is related to the generation of the ECDSA nonce k, where a random number r is selected and then reduced modulo n, the order of the elliptic curve. The division used during the...

Experts Uncover Passive Method to Extract Private RSA Keys from SSH Connections

A new study has demonstrated that it's possible for passive network attackers to obtain private RSA host keys from a vulnerable SSH server by observing when naturally occurring computational faults that occur while the connection is being established. The Secure Shell SSH protocol is a method for...

SUSE CVE-2020-10932

An issue was discovered in Arm Mbed TLS before 2.16.6 and 2.7.x before 2.7.15. An attacker that can get precise enough side-channel measurements can recover the long-term ECDSA private key by 1 reconstructing the projective coordinate of the result of scalar multiplication by exploiting side...

wolfCrypt leaks cryptographic information via timing side channel

wolfSSL and wolfCrypt 4.0.0 and earlier when configured without --enable-fpecc, --enable-sp, or --enable-sp-math contain a timing side channel in ECDSA signature generation. This allows a local attacker, able to precisely measure the duration of signature operations, to infer information about th...

CVE-2019-14317

wolfSSL and wolfCrypt 4.1.0 and earlier formerly known as CyaSSL generate biased DSA nonces. This allows a remote attacker to compute the long term private key from several hundred DSA signatures via a lattice attack. The issue occurs because dsa.c fixes two bits of the generated nonces...
