The shoemaker’s children have new friends The International Association for Cryptologic Research will run a second election for new board members and other officers, after it was unable to complete its first poll due to a lost encryption key.…
Encryption protects content, not context Mischief-makers can guess the subjects being discussed with LLMs using a side-channel attack, according to Microsoft researchers. They told The Register that models from some providers, including Anthropic, AWS, DeepSeek, and Google, haven't been fixed, putting both personal users and enterprise communications at risk.…
Sites at yourcountry.gov may also not bother with HTTPs Internet traffic to government domains often flows across borders, relies on a worryingly small number of network connections, or does not require encryption, according to new research.…
Update before that proof-of-concept comes to bite Security researchers are sounding the alarm over a fresh flaw in the JavaScript implementation of OpenPGP (OpenPGP.js) that allows both signed and encrypted messages to be spoofed.…
Boffins devise BadRAM attack to pilfer secrets from SEV-SNP encrypted memory Researchers have found that the security mechanism AMD uses to protect virtual machine memory can be bypassed with $10 of hardware – and perhaps not even that.…
With an off-the-shelf D-Wave machine Chinese researchers claim they have found a way to use D-Wave's quantum annealing systems to develop a promising attack on classical encryption.…
Experts' job made 'straightforward' by crooks failing to update encryption schema after three years Security researchers have put out an updated decryptor for the Babuk ransomware family, providing a free solution for victims of the Tortilla variant.…
Exploits come with caveats, but Google says no fixes as user security should do the heavy lifting here Novel weaknesses in Google Workspace have been exposed by researchers, with exploits potentially leading to ransomware attacks, data exfiltration, and password decryption.…
Emergency comms standard had five nasty flaws but will be opened to academic research A set of encryption algorithms used to secure emergency radio communications will enter the public domain after an about-face by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).…
That's what we call a static shock Even ransomware operators make mistakes, and in the case of ransomware gang the Key Group, a cryptographic error allowed a team of security researchers to develop and release a decryption tool to restore scrambled files.…
Heavily hyped tech bound for big time by decade end Research conducted by Fujitsu suggests there is no need to panic about quantum computers being able to decode encrypted data – this is unlikely to happen in the near future, it claims.…
Near-term vulnerability of RSA-2048 keys not so near, says quantum boffin Scott Aaronson Briefly this week, it appeared that quantum computers might finally be ready to break 2048-bit RSA encryption, but that moment has passed.…
You take the green pill, and you'll spend six hours in a 'don't roll your own crypto' debate Four security researchers have identified five cryptographic vulnerabilities in code libraries that can be exploited to undermine the Matrix federated communication protocol and its client software. This includes impersonating users and sending messages as them.…
It's all fun and games until somebody gets their files encrypted Miscreants making use of typosquatting are being spotted by researchers at Sonatype, emphasizing the need to check that the package is really the one you meant to download.…
NIST's nifty new algorithm looks like it's in trouble One of the four encryption algorithms the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recommended as likely to resist decryption by quantum computers has has holes kicked in it by researchers using a single core of an Intel Xeon CPU, released in 2013.…
POS and online ordering vendor StoreHub offered free Asian info takeaways Researchers at security product recommendation service Safety Detectives claim they’ve found almost a million customer records wide open on an Elasticsearch server run by Malaysian point-of-sale software vendor StoreHub.…
