GPS As a Key Distribution Platform

This is interesting: The U.S. military has likely been quietly broadcasting codes for its global encryption network using public GPS for nearly 20 years, turning each satellite into a hidden "numbers station," according to Steven Murdoch… That means every device that uses GPS has been receiving...

Windows Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC) Remote Code Execution

Integer overflow or wraparound in Windows Kerberos allows an authorized attacker to execute code over an adjacent network...

Quantum Resonance Encryption for Secure Data Storage and Communication with Quantum Kicked Top

In a shared quantum computer, how to ensure data privacy and protection from access by unauthorized parties? We propose a genuine quantum protocol for protecting user's data which is not accessible even to the service provider. The protocol is based on quantum kicked top -- the dynamics of a spin...

RLSA-2023:6699 Moderate: krb5 security and bug fix update

Kerberos is a network authentication system, which can improve the security of your network by eliminating the insecure practice of sending passwords over the network in unencrypted form. It allows clients and servers to authenticate to each other with the help of a trusted third party, the...

Practical Countermeasure against Attacks Exploiting Detection Efficiency Mismatch in Quantum Key Distribution

We demonstrate a practical countermeasure against a well-known class of attacks on quantum key distribution QKD systems that exploit detection efficiency mismatch, where the receiver's detectors do not exhibit identical responses to incoming photons across all degrees of freedom. This class of...

Astra Linux - уязвимость в heimdal, samba

Before version 7.7.1, Heimdal allowed remote attackers to execute arbitrary code due to an invalid free operation in the ASN.1 codec used by the Key Distribution Center KDC...

Numerical Security Analysis for Practical Quantum Key Distribution

Quantum key distribution QKD promises information-theoretic security based on quantum mechanics and idealized device models. Practical implementations, however, deviate from these models due to unavoidable device imperfections, and existing security proofs fall short of capturing the complexity o...

Security of Decoy-State Quantum Key Distribution with Correlated Bit-And-Basis Encoders

Practical quantum key distribution QKD modulators inevitably introduce correlations, causing the state emitted in a given round to depend on the setting choices made in previous rounds. These correlations break the round-by-round independence structure on which many widely used security proof...

Rigorous Security Proofs for Practical Quantum Key Distribution

This thesis is concerned with rigorous security analyses of practical Quantum Key Distribution QKD protocols, using a variety of modern proof techniques. The main results are as follows. First, we establish a security proof for variable-length QKD protocols against IID collective attacks, and...

To ensure interoperability and efficient practical deployment,...

How to Configure krb5.conf for Cross-Domain Hyper-V Cluster Management

Purpose This article documents how to configure the /etc/krb5.conf file on the Veeam Software Appliance VSA to enable Kerberos authentication when managing a Microsoft Hyper-V cluster whose nodes belong to a different Active Directory domain than the backup server. As noted in the VBR 13 User Gui...

The Manipulate-And-Observe Attack on Quantum Key Distribution

Quantum key distribution is often regarded as an unconditionally secure method to exchange a secret key by harnessing fundamental aspects of quantum mechanics. Despite the robustness of key exchange, classical post-processing reveals vulnerabilities that an eavesdropper could target. In particula...
