Karsten Nohl - who along with fellow researcher Henryk Plotz - hit the headlines two years ago when he publicly revealed how the MiFare encryption system worked. Nohl announced his findings at the ...

Did you know that the vast majority of calls carried out on the 3.5 billion GSM connections in the world today are protected by a 21-year old 64-bit encryption algorithm? You should now, given that ...

GSM is the most popular protocol for cellphone telephony on the planet, with billions of users worldwide. But the standard encryption procedure used by most GSM carriers is only 64-bit, and academic ...

It took four years, 331,000 participants and a difficult legal case, but the relentless efforts of Distributed.net and its supporters have finally broken a 64-bit encryption key developed by RSA Data ...

Encryption is a cat-and-mouse game, and Johns Hopkins University researchers have found a great way to prove it. In a new research that they shared with the Washington Post, the research team has ...

I dunno if this a stupid question, but I'm running the Microsoft Wirless notbook kit and using their base station as my router. Under settings, it has an option for encryption, but I need a key of ...

Spotted an interesting report recently stating that 768-bit RSA encryption has been broken. Specifically, what researchers have done is factorised a 768=bit 232-digit number using a number field sieve ...

Currently, there are three data encryption standards approved for use in the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS). This application note discusses the implementation of two of these for ...
