cryptography Vulnerable to a Subgroup Attack Due to Missing Subgroup Validation for SECT Curves

Vulnerability Summary The publickeyfromnumbers or EllipticCurvePublicNumbers.publickey, EllipticCurvePublicNumbers.publickey, loadderpublickey and loadpempublickey functions do not verify that the point belongs to the expected prime-order subgroup of the curve. This missing validation allows an...

CVE-2024-1544

Generating the ECDSA nonce k samples a random number r and then truncates this randomness with a modular reduction mod n where n is the order of the elliptic curve. Meaning k = r mod n. The division used during the reduction estimates a factor qe by dividing the upper two digits a digit having e....

Explained: Steganography

Steganography is the prime example of effectively hiding something in plain sight. The word steganography comes from the Greek words "stegos" meaning "cover" and "grafia" meaning "writing." Steganography, then, is defined as "covered writing." In essence, we use the name steganography for every...

Matroschka - Python Steganography Tool To Hide Images Or Text In Images

Матрёшка mɐˈtrʲɵʂkə is a command-line steganography tool written in pure Python. You can use it to hide and encrypt images or text in the least significant bits of pixels in an image. Encryption The encryption uses HMAC-SHA256 to authenticate the hidden data. Therefore the supplied MAC password i...

SSL/TLS: "Invariance Weakness" vulnerability in RC4 stream cipher

The RC4 algorithm, as used in the TLS protocol and SSL protocol, does not properly combine state data with key data during the initialization phase, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct plaintext-recovery attacks against the initial bytes of a stream by sniffing network traffic...
