Want better apps? You need a (agile security) hero!

If weve learned anything from the rise of Marvel Cinematic Universe, its that good things tend to happen when heroes intervene. For securing new applications, this metaphor is a useful one because security isnt always top-of-mind for scrum teams, nor is it always conducive to meeting aggressive...

CVE-2018-1466

IBM SAN Volume Controller, IBM Storwize, IBM Spectrum Virtualize and IBM FlashSystem products 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, 7.6, 7.6.1, 7.7, 7.7.1, 7.8, 7.8.1, 8.1, and 8.1.1 use weaker than expected cryptographic algorithms that could allow an attacker to decrypt highly sensitive...

OpenJDK: insufficient strength of key agreement (JCE, 8185292)

It was discovered that the key agreement implementations in the JCE component of OpenJDK did not guarantee sufficient strength of used keys to adequately protect generated shared secret. This could make it easier to break data encryption by attacking key agreement rather than the encryption using...

Intel Integrated Performance Primitives Cryptography Library Information Disclosure Vulnerability

Intel Integrated Performance Primitives Cryptography Library is a multi-threaded library for multimedia and data processing applications from Intel Corporation. A security vulnerability exists in Intel Integrated Performance Primitives Cryptography Library versions prior to 2018 U2.1, which stems...

CenoCipher - Easy-To-Use, End-To-End Crypto-Communication Tool

CenoCipher is a free, open-source, easy-to-use tool for exchanging secure encrypted communications over the internet. It uses strong cryptography to convert messages and files into encrypted cipher-data, which can then be sent to the recipient via regular email or any other channel available, suc...

CVE-2017-12129

CVE-2017-12129 affects Moxa EDR-810 Web Server. Cisco Talos reports a weakness in cryptography for passwords: after login, each authenticated request sends a MD5-hashed password (not salted), enabling cracking of the password and potential compromise of the device. Affected product/version: Moxa ...

GandCrab Ransomware Found Hiding on Legitimate Websites

The GandCrab ransomware continues to virulently spread and adapt to shifting cyber-conditions, most recently crawling back into relevance on the back of several large-scale spam campaigns. What’s interesting is that GandCrab payload was found hiding on legitimate but compromised websites. These,...

Intel® SGX SDK and Intel® SGX Platform Software Updates

Summary: Intel® Software Guard Extensions Software Development Kit SDK and Platform Software PSW utilize the Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives Cryptography Library. Vulnerabilities in this cryptography library have been reported that may enable a local attacker running malware utilizing...

Ray Ozzie's Encryption Backdoor

Last month, Wired published a long article about Ray Ozzie and his supposed new scheme for adding a backdoor in encrypted devices. It's a weird article. It paints Ozzie's proposal as something that "attains the impossible" and "satisfies both law enforcement and privacy purists," when 1 it's bare...

NIST Issues Call for "Lightweight Cryptography" Algorithms

This is interesting: Creating these defenses is the goal of NIST's lightweight cryptography initiative, which aims to develop cryptographic algorithm standards that can work within the confines of a simple electronic device. Many of the sensors, actuators and other micromachines that will functio...

Microsoft Windows 10: Deny log on as a service

This policy setting determines which users are prevented from logging on to the service applications on a device. A service is an application type that runs in the system background without a user interface. It provides core operating system features, such as web serving, event logging, file...
