Operational technology systems are not ready for the recent NIST cybersecurity standards. Given the constraints, ...

Abstract: Extensive research has been done on the security of symmetric encryption algorithms in the black-box attack contexts, where the execution platforms are supposed to be secure. Recent studies ...

About time: Microsoft introduced support for the RC4 stream cipher in Windows 2000 as the default authentication algorithm for the Active Directory services. The system has been insecure for even ...

Tor has announced improved encryption and security for the circuit traffic by replacing the old tor1 relay encryption algorithm with a new design called Counter Galois Onion (CGO). One reason behind ...

Two years ago, researchers in the Netherlands discovered an intentional backdoor in an encryption algorithm baked into radios used by critical infrastructure–as well as police, intelligence agencies, ...

Kerberoasting is a common attack targeting Microsoft Active Directory, enabling attackers to compromise service accounts with low risk of detection. Because it manipulates legitimate accounts, it can ...

A new research paper by Google Quantum AI researcher Craig Gidney shows that breaking widely used RSA encryption may require 20 times fewer quantum resources than previously believed. The finding did ...

Quantum computers could crack a common data encryption technique once they have a million qubits, or quantum bits. While this is still well beyond the capabilities of existing quantum computers, this ...

Microsoft is updating Windows 11 with a set of new encryption algorithms that can withstand future attacks from quantum computers in a move aimed at jump-starting what’s likely to be the most ...
