Chinese Quantum Satellite Sends First ‘Unhackable’ Data to Earth

In what appears to be the world's first quantum satellite transmission, China has successfully sent an "unbreakable" code over a long distance from an orbiting satellite to the Earth, achieving a milestone in the next generation encryption based on "quantum cryptography." In August last year, Chi...

CVE-2017-7781/CVE-2017-10176: Issue with elliptic curve addition in mixed Jacobian-affine coordinates in Firefox/Java

tl;dr Firefox and Java suffered from a moderate vulnerability affecting the elliptic curve point addition algorithm that uses mixed Jacobian-affine coordinates where it can yield a result POINTATINFINITY when it should not. Introduction Few months ago I was working on a vulnerability affecting th...

kernel: crypto: GPF in lrw_crypt caused by null-deref

The lrwcrypt function in 'crypto/lrw.c' in the Linux kernel before 4.5 allows local users to cause a system crash and a denial of service by the NULL pointer dereference via accept2 system call for AFALG socket without calling setkey first to set a cipher key...

OpenJDK: PKCS#8 implementation timing attack (JCE, 8176760)

A covert timing channel flaw was found in the PKCS8 implementation in the JCE component of OpenJDK. A remote attacker able to make a Java application repeatedly compare PKCS8 key against an attacker controlled value could possibly use this flaw to determine the key via a timing side channel...

OpenJDK: DSA implementation timing attack (JCE, 8175106)

A covert timing channel flaw was found in the DSA implementation in the JCE component of OpenJDK. A remote attacker able to make a Java application generate DSA signatures on demand could possibly use this flaw to extract certain information about the used key via a timing side channel...

CyberChef - The Cyber Swiss Army Knife [A Web App For Encryption, Encoding, Compression And Data Analysis]

The Cyber Swiss Army Knife CyberChef is a simple, intuitive web app for carrying out all manner of "cyber" operations within a web browser. These operations include simple encoding like XOR or Base64, more complex encryption like AES, DES and Blowfish, creating binary and hexdumps, compression an...

Moderate: Red Hat Bug Fix Advisory: openssl bug fix and enhancement update

An update for openssl is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. OpenSSL is a toolkit that implements the Secure Sockets Layer SSL and Transport Layer Security TLS protocols, as well as a full-strength general-purpose cryptography library. For detailed information on changes in this release...

JKS Private Key Cracker - Cracking passwords of private key entries in a JKS file

The Java Key Store JKS is the Java way of storing one or several cryptographic private and public keys for asymmetric cryptography in a file. While there are various key store formats, Java and Android still default to the JKS file format. JKS is one of the file formats for Java key stores, but J...
