San Jose, Calif. – Altera Corp. has developed what it calls a way to lower the cost of RSA decryption. By porting a reusable RSA intellectual-property core to its Cyclone series of FPGAs, Altera said ...

Scientists have proved that they can extract a 4096-bit RSA key from a laptop using an acoustic side-channel attack that enables them to record the noise coming from the laptop during decryption, ...

It sounds too preposterous for even James Bond: by placing a mobile phone next to a PC, researchers can “listen” to the faintest sound a CPU makes as it churns away on RSA-encoded content and extract ...

One of the principal challenges of resource sharing on data communication network is its security. This is premised on the fact that once there is connectivity between computers sharing some resources ...

Not that long ago, grabbing information from air-gapped computers required sophisticated equipment. In my TechRepublic column Air-gapped computers are no longer secure, researchers at Georgia ...

Computer scientists have devised an attack that reliably extracts secret cryptographic keys by capturing the high-pitched sounds coming from a computer while it displays an encrypted message. "We ...

China joins Google in claiming quantum supremacy with new technology, ratcheting up RSA decryption concerns. China’s top quantum-computer researchers have reported that they have achieved quantum ...

A team of academics has revealed a new cryptographic attack this week that can break encrypted TLS traffic, allowing attackers to intercept and steal data previously considered safe & secure. This new ...
