Memory leaks in code encrypting and verifying RSA payloads

Using crafted public RSA keys which are not compliant with SP 800-56B can cause a small memory leak when encrypting and verifying payloads. An attacker can leverage this flaw to gradually erode available memory to the point where the host crashes for lack of resources. Upon restart the attacker...

NIST Calls for Submissions to Secure Data Against Quantum Computing

For a layman, it may be difficult to fathom how a standards body could be playing catch-up to a threat that could be at least a decade away. But that’s the position NIST finds itself in with the risk that quantum computers pose to existing cryptographic algorithms. Working, practical quantum...
