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 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 ...

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 ...

RSA is an encryption technique developed in the late 1970s that involves generating public and private keys; the former is used for encryption and the latter decryption. Current standards call for ...

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 ...

A recent, yet to be proven paper claiming to have found a way to "destroy the RSA cryptosystem" has cryptographers asking what might replace it. What if a big crack appeared overnight in the ...
