Flawed chipsets used by PCs to generate RSA encryption keys have a vulnerability that has weakened the security of stored passwords, encrypted disks, documents, and more. This week, researchers from ...

Hardware faults are leaking hundreds of supposedly unbreakable encryption keys on to the internet, researchers have found – and spy agencies may be exploiting the loophole to read secret messages. RSA ...

A flawed Infineon Technology chipset left HP, Lenovo and Microsoft devices open to what is called a ‘practical factorization attack,’ in which an attacker computes the private part of an RSA key. A ...

RSA is an encryption technique developed in the late 1970s that involves generating public and private keys; the former is used for encryption and the latter decryption. Current standards call for ...

The bolding is mine, because if in fact the agency did crack the encryption schemes used for bank transactions (the Times is somewhat unclear on that point), then in doing so it may have solved a math ...

GitHub, a Microsoft subsidiary has replaced its SSH keys after someone inadvertently published its private RSA SSH host key part of the encryption scheme in an open GitHub repository. While some may ...

Researchers launched a Proof-of-Concept attack on two Android mobile phones and an embedded system board. Researchers have developed a proof-of-concept side-channel attack that allows them to pull ...

In the last several days, headlines have been plastered all over the internet regarding Chinese researchers using D-Wave quantum computers to hack RSA, AES, and "military-grade encryption." This is ...

Nathan Eddy works as an independent filmmaker and journalist based in Berlin, specializing in architecture, business technology and healthcare IT. He is a graduate of Northwestern University’s Medill ...
