Unjam the logjam

Security Unjam the logjam Share June 9th, 2015 When a browser and website communicate over a secure connection, they encrypt and decrypt the data using a shared symmetric encryption key; the same key is used for encryption and decryption. In order for the browser and server to make sure they use...

So, you wanna crypto (in AEM)

So another year passed by and I will talk again , ... at the Connect WE conference. This year with Damien Antipa we will have a speech entitled So, you wanna crypto in AEM . Now, is true that even symmetric encryption isn't a “solved problem” but hey we still need to protect information et al : N...

New Logjam Attack on Diffie-Hellman Threatens Security of Browsers, VPNs

Researchers have uncovered a flaw in the way that some servers handle the Diffie-Hellman key exchange, a bug that’s somewhat similar to the FREAK attack and threatens the security of many Web and mail servers. The bug affects all of the major browsers and any server that supports export-grade...

Researchers, IEEE Release Medical Device Security Guidelines

A collection of research scientists, with help from the IEEE Cybersecurity Initiative, have released a new set of guidelines for developers to take into account to ensure security figures into how medical devices are coded. The paper, “Building Code for Medical Device Software Security,” .PDF was...

Custom-SSH-Backdoor - SSH Backdoor using Paramiko

Custom ssh backdoor, coded in python using Paramiko. Paramiko is a Python 2.6+, 3.3+ implementation of the SSHv2 protocol, providing both client and server functionality. While it leverages a Python C extension for low level cryptography PyCrypto, Paramiko itself is a pure Python interface around...

Open Smart Grid Protocol Alliance Plan to Fix its Weak Crypto

The Open Smart Grid Protocol Alliance, which recently came under fire for a weak crypto implementation in its protocol, will upgrade existing devices, likely starting in September. Harry Crijns, secretary of the OSGP Alliance in The Netherlands, said fixes have been developed and are “under a...

Open Smart Grid Protocol Homegrown Crypto Weaknesses

In the three years since its inception, the Open Smart Grid Protocol has found its way into more than four million smart meters and similar devices worldwide. And like its SCADA, industrial control system, and embedded system brethren, it’s rife with security issues. Two researchers, Phillip...

OpenSSL Past, Present and Future

Rarely does anything have a defined turning point in its history, a single day where people can point and say that was the day everything changed. For OpenSSL, that day was April 7, 2014, the day that Heartbleed became part of the security lexicon. Heartbleed was a critical vulnerability in the...

'Fully Secure Systems Don't Exist'

SAN FRANCISCO–The more things change, the more they stay the same. Thirty years ago, Adi Shamir, one of the inventors of the RSA algorithm, was asked to do a keynote speech at a conference and spoke about his laws of computer security. They were a set of principles that he developed over the year...

USN-2574-1 openjdk-7 vulnerabilities

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in the OpenJDK JRE related to information disclosure, data integrity and availability. An attacker could exploit these to cause a denial of service or expose sensitive data over the network. CVE-2015-0460, CVE-2015-0469 Alexander Cherepanov discovered that...
