An exploit revealed in a paper [PDF] at the CRYPTO 2012 conference shows a flaw in some of RSA’s products that can allow the rapid extraction of secret symmetric secret keys. According to researchers, ...

Piercing a key defense found in cloud environments such as Amazon’s EC2 service, scientists have devised a virtual machine that can extract private cryptographic keys stored on a separate virtual ...

A side-channel timing attack dubbed "Hertzbleed" by researchers could allow remote attackers to sniff out cryptographic keys for servers. It affects most Intel processors, as well as some chipsets ...

When designing cryptographic protocols and systems, many guiding principles ought to be respected. Often, these guiding principles are lessons learned from years of attacks and vulnerabilities against ...

NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-133 offers guidance on generating the cryptographic keys that are needed to employ algorithms that provide confidentiality and integrity protection for data. Even if ...

Encryption is one of the pillars of modern-day communications. You have devices that use encryption all the time, even if you are not aware of it. There are so many applications and systems using it ...

A way to provide strong encryption in an SSL connection with older Web browsers that support keys only up to 64 bits in length. If the server supports server-gated cryptography (SGC), it returns an ...

Enterprise companies are struggling to contain the security and control implications of using multiple cryptographic keys and digital certificates, new research suggests. On Tuesday, Keyfactor and the ...

An encryption method for transmitting data that uses key pairs, comprising one private and one public key. Public key cryptography is called "asymmetric encryption" because both keys are not equal. A ...
