NIST Calls Development of Quantum-Proof Encryption Algorithms

Quantum Computers – Boon or Bane? Quantum computers can perform operations much more quickly and efficiently even with the use of less energy than conventional computers, but that's bad news for encryption — a process which scrambles data according to a massively complex mathematical code. In...

Google Unveils Cryptographic Library Test Suite Wycheproof

Google continues to be in a giving mood this holiday season. The company on Monday announced Project Wycheproof, a collection of unit tests designed to help check for weaknesses in cryptographic algorithms. The project comes two weeks after Google debuted a fuzzer to help developers discover...

OpenJDK: missing algorithm restrictions for jar verification (Libraries, 8155973)

It was discovered that the Libraries component of OpenJDK did not restrict the set of algorithms used for JAR integrity verification. This flaw could allow an attacker to modify content of the JAR file that used weak signing key or hash algorithm...

Botan Information Disclosure Vulnerability

Botan is a library of cryptographic algorithms in the C++ programming language that supports AES, DES, SHA-1, RSA, DSA and Diffie-Hellman. A security vulnerability exists in Botan versions 1.11.29 through 1.11.32, which stems from the program's use of insecure cryptographic algorithms. An attacke...
