Cryptosystems Showing Signs of 'Wear and Tear'

SAN FRANCISCO– It’s been an interesting year in the cryptography world, with new attacks on several algorithms, continued problems with hash functions and the recent research on weak RSA keys. With all of that as a backdrop, some of the brightest minds in the field, gathered here for the RSA...

RSA: Chaos In the Security World, And the Situation Is Perfect

Right on cue this week, the anarchic hacking collective Anonymous stepped up and grabbed the story line away from the lions of the IT security industry. With the annual RSA Conference set to begin, the whistle blowing site Wikileaks released the first of some five million e-mail messages stolen...

Researchers to Detail WebKit Zero-Day on Android Phones at RSA Conference

Security researchers will be demonstrating an end-to-end phishing attack on Google Android phones that utilizes a zero-day vulnerability in Apple’s WebKit technology at the upcoming RSA Conference. The presentation, slated for Feb. 29, will be a coming-out party of sorts for new security firm...

What You Need to Know About the RSA Key Research

It’s always slightly disorienting and confusing when a story about something as esoteric as weak encryption keys produced by poor random number generators makes its way into the real world and begins scaring the citizens. This can lead to confusion and worry about whether everyone’s online bankin...

Weak RSA Keys Plague Embedded Devices, But Experts Caution Against Panic

If all of the noise about weak RSA keys and compromised cryptosystems in the last few days has done anything, it’s to confirm what many in the cryptography community have known for quite a long time: When it comes to implementing cryptosystems, there are a whole lot of people doing it wrong...

Poison Ivy Variant Changes Benign Code to Malicious After Download

Trojan downloaders are the cannon fodder of the malware world: expendable, commoditized foot soldiers with a single function. Once their job is complete–downloading the executable or other malicious component–the downloaders are no longer useful. However, researchers have found that there are now...

Small SSH RSA Key

The remote SSH daemon has a small key size, which is insecure. Given current technology, it should be 1024 bits at a minimum. TRUSTED...

Offensive Research Continuing to Advance

MIAMI BEACH–It’s the accepted wisdom these days that many of the traditional security defenses organizations depend on just aren’t effective at deterring attackers. But this glosses over the fact that the last few years have included some major advances in defensive technologies, including the...

2011: Wait, What?

The security industry can be a giant repetitive, follow-the-loser echo chamber of unoriginal thoughts, familiar flaws and copycat theories. But if ever there was a year in which folks could stand back and look at what’s gone on and say, what in the hell just happened, 2011 was it. So rather than...
