In a first, cryptographic keys protecting SSH connections stolen in new attack | Ars Technica
An error as small as a single flipped memory bit is all it takes to expose a private key. The vulnerability occurs when there are errors during the signature generation that takes place when a client and server are establishing a connection. It affects only keys using the RSA cryptographic algorithm, which the researchers found in roughly a third of the SSH signatures they examined. That translates to roughly 1 billion signatures out of the 3.2 billion signatures examined. Of the roughly 1 billion RSA signatures, about one in a million exposed the private key of the host.
Chinese researchers claim to have broken RSA with a quantum computer. Experts aren’t so sure.
Researchers in China claim to have reached a breakthrough in quantum computing, figuring out how they can break the RSA public-key encryption system using a quantum computer of around the power that will soon be publicly available. Breaking 2048-bit RSA — in other words finding a method to consistently and quickly discover the secret prime numbers underpinning the algorithm — would be extremely significant. Although the RSA algorithm itself has largely been replaced in consumer-facing protocols, such as Transport Layer Security, it is still widely used in older enterprise and operational technology software and in many code-signing certificates.
A group of Chinese researchers have just published a paper claiming that they can—although they have not yet done so—break 2048-bit RSA. This is something to take seriously. It might not be correct, but it’s not obviously wrong.
Google And Cloudflare Are Changing The Trust Infrastructure of the Internet: A Long Goodbye to RSA and a Hello to ECC and ECDSA
The RSA method was created by Rivest, Shamir and Adleman in 1978, and it is still used to encrypt and sign for data. The core of trust on the Internet is the usage of PKI, and where Web sites have a…
Heap memory corruption with RSA private key operation (CVE-2022-2274)
Severity: High The OpenSSL 3.0.4 release introduced a serious bug in the RSA implementation for X86_64 CPUs supporting the AVX512IFMA instructions. This issue makes the RSA implementation with 2048 bit private keys incorrect on such machines and memory corruption will happen during the computation. As a consequence of the memory corruption an attacker may be able to trigger a remote code execution on the machine performing the computation.
