Cryptography is the go-to defense for cybersecurity, it’s essentially the strongbox of the computing era—and just like a strongbox it’s not designed to keep the contents perfectly safe from all ...

In the previous blog post, “Embedded Security Using Cryptography”, we looked at how cryptography can be used for securing assets in embedded systems and ensure confidentiality, integrity and ...

Just a few weeks after the leak of the HDCP master keys was confirmed, a software implementation of the encryption scheme has been developed. The software implementation should be able to decrypt a ...

Researchers at the Netherland’s Radboud University have uncovered serious security issues with several solid-state drives that use hardware-based encryption—vulnerabilities that would allow an ...

Research Triangle Software is making it easier to decrypt and view files that were encrypted through its CryptoStick USB device. The One-Click Decoder software is designed to decrypt files separate ...

A vulnerability in iOS encryption could allow skilled attackers to intercept iMessages and decrypt iCloud photos. Researchers told The Washington Post the flaw could be exploited “to decrypt photos ...

Security researchers have successfully broken one of the most secure encryption algorithms, 4096-bit RSA, by listening -- yes, with a microphone-- to a computer as it decrypts some encrypted data. The ...

After the leak of the HDCP master keys earlier in the month, a couple of developers have constructed a software HDCP decryption program. The usefulness isn't immediately clear, however: practical HDCP ...
