I understand that in a Hard Disk Drive (HDD) there is EEPROM which stores calibration data. This is not directly accessible by any ring-3 (usermode) or ring-0 (kernel mode) programs.
I was curious as to whether changes to the HDD, such as … Continue reading EEPROM with HDD calibration data
A new paper presents a polynomial-time quantum algorithm for solving certain hard lattice problems. This could be a big deal for post-quantum cryptographic algorithms, since many of them base their security on hard lattice problems.
A few things to note. One, this paper has not yet been peer reviewed. As this comment points out: “We had already some cases where efficient quantum algorithms for lattice problems were discovered, but they turned out not being correct or only worked for simple special cases.”
Two, this is a quantum algorithm, which means that it has not been tested. There is a wide gulf between quantum algorithms in theory and in practice. And until we can actually code and test these algorithms, we should be suspicious of their speed and complexity claims…
Last week, I posted a short memorial of Ross Anderson. The Communications of the ACM asked me to expand it. Here’s the longer version.
EDITED TO ADD (4/11): Two weeks before he passed away, Ross gave an 80-minute interview where he told his life … Continue reading In Memoriam: Ross Anderson, 1956–2024
So I was reading through an article about how passwords are salted and hashed through a cryptographic function here, and found out that hashed passwords, along with the plaintext salt values are stored in the database.
Now, I was wondering… Continue reading Question about storing salt values and hashed passwords in the database [duplicate]
I am using TPM to to encrypt and sign my data. But since I am not security expert, I need to come to you guys 😀
I am developing this app to verify file content. I already has this part sorted out with TPM. But now comes the tricky part. I… Continue reading How to securely store signature file
Ross Anderson unexpectedly passed away Thursday night in, I believe, his home in Cambridge.
I can’t remember when I first met Ross. Of course it was before 2008, when we created the Security and Human Behavior workshop. It was well before 2001, when we created the Workshop on Economics and Information Security. (Okay, he created both—I helped.) It was before 1998, when we wrote about the problems with key escrow systems. I was one of the people he brought to the Newton Institute, at Cambridge University, for the six-month cryptography residency program he ran (I mistakenly didn’t stay the whole time)—that was in 1996…

I just saw this article and many like them before where they use a video of some random movement and a hashing function to make a cryptographic random number generator
but I’m always curious why this is as "unpredictable" as they… Continue reading Random based on video input, why isn’t there some predictability [migrated]
