Analysis Reveals Weak Key Generation in SSL Protocols Identified

Analysis Cryptography researchers have discovered flaws in the key generation that underpins the security of important cryptography protocols, including SSL.. Two teams of researchers working on the problem have identified the same weak key-generation problems. However, the two teams differ in their assessment of how widespread the problem is The link for this article located at The Register UK is no longer available. . Numerous groups of scientists discovered a vulnerability in the random number generation techniques used in various encryption systems.. Cryptography Flaws, Key Security, Weak Key Generation. .

PS3 Master Key Breach by fail0verflow: Install Linux After Hacking

At this week's Chaos Communication Conference, a group of hackers known as fail0verflow appeared to crack the PS3's randomized key cryptography and access the system's master code. The team demoed the alleged security flaw by creating a hack and installing Linux on the system.. It should be noted that Linux was originally advertised as a selling point for the PS3, until the option was unceremoniously removed via a firmware update. Unsurprisingly, when the newer PS3 Slim was introduced, Linux wasn't included because Sony claimed the OS made the system more "vulnerable" to key cryptography hacks. Interestingly enough, what team fail0verflow presented on Tuesday illustrated the system's poor use of public key cryptography and how it was in fact easy to hack even if Linux wasn't present. So, to hack the system and install Linux, the team first bypassed basic PS3 security measures like the chain of trust, a hypervisor, and signed executables. The link for this article located at TG Daily is no longer available. . It should be noted that Linux was originally advertised as a selling point for the PS3, until the op. week's, chaos, communication, conference, group, hackers, known, fail0verflow, appeared. .
