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 ...

A team of eight researchers from various universities has found a bug in the Libcrypto library that allows an attacker with local access to extract the RSA-1024 private key that was used to encrypt ...

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 ...

Infineon TPM chipsets that come with many modern-day motherboards generate insecure RSA encryption keys that put devices at risk of attack. TPM stands for Trusted Platform Module (TPM), which is an ...

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 ...
