Announcing the $12k NIST Elliptic Curves Seeds Bounty

The NIST elliptic curves that power much of modern cryptography were generated in the late '90s by hashing seeds provided by the NSA. How were the seeds generated? Rumor has it that they are in turn hashes of English sentences, but the person who picked them, Dr. Jerry Solinas, passed away in ear...

K15427: OpenSSL vulnerability CVE-2011-4354

Security Advisory Description crypto/bn/bnnist.c in OpenSSL before 0.9.8h on 32-bit platforms, as used in stunnel and other products, in certain circumstances involving ECDH or ECDHE cipher suites, uses an incorrect modular reduction algorithm in its implementation of the P-256 and P-384 NIST...

CVE-2022-23002

When compressing or decompressing a point on the NIST P-256 elliptic curve with an X coordinate of zero, the resulting output is not properly reduced modulo the P-256 field prime and is invalid. The resulting output will cause an error when used in other operations. This may be leveraged by an...
