Side-Channel Attack Steals Crypto Key from Co-Located Virtual Machines

Side-channel attacks against cryptography keys have, until now, been limited to physical machines. Researchers have long made accurate determinations about crypto keys by studying anything from variations in power consumption to measuring how long it takes for a computation to complete. A team of...

Fedora 18 : dracut-024-5.git20121019.fc18 (2012-16448)

fixed ifup exit code - fixed default 'rd.auto' parameter setting - only 'warn' not 'error', if we don't strip the initramfs - do not overwrite ifcfg from anaconda - ssh-client module fixes - strip binaries in the initramfs by default now - fixes for systemd and crypto - new dracut kernel command...

Deeply Flawed Apple-Owned Fingerprint Reader Software a Tough Fix

Now that word is out on a serious password bug in the ubiquitous UPEK Protector Suite fingerprint readers found in most new laptops today, Apple-owned Authentec surely will be able to fix the issue on the double. Not so fast, says one of the researchers looking at the problem. “It’s a system that...

Debian DSA-2502-1 : python-crypto - programming error

It was discovered that that the ElGamal code in PythonCrypto, a collection of cryptographic algorithms and protocols for Python used insecure insufficient prime numbers in key generation, which lead to a weakened signature or public key space, allowing easier brute-force attacks on such keys...

Experts Say Attack on Crypto Tokens is Serious, But Not Catastrophic

A group of international academic researchers has made a major advance in the efficiency of a known cryptographic attack on some kinds of crypto hardware, enabling them to extract sensitive keys from tokens such as RSA SecurID and Aladdin eToken devices within 20 minutes. However, experts say tha...
