Signal decouples its secure messaging service from your phone number – a bit. Continue reading Signal secure messaging can now identify you without a phone number
Intel has quickly released a fix for the new and already infamous Plundervolt vulnerability found in Intel 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th generation processors, alongside Xeon Processor E3 v5 and v6, and Xeon Processor E-2100 and E-2200. Security researc… Continue reading Intel Fixes Dangerous Plundervolt Vulnerability
Processor protects malware from attempts to inspect and analyze it. Continue reading Researchers use Intel SGX to put malware beyond the reach of antivirus software
Of the six advisories Intel released last week, the most interesting is a flaw discovered in the company’s Software Guard Extensions (SGX). Continue reading Intel patches another security flaw in SGX technology
The greatest hardware hacks of all time were simply the result of finding software keys in memory. The AACS encryption debacle — the 09 F9 key that allowed us to decrypt HD DVDs — was the result of encryption keys just sitting in main memory, where it could be read by any other program. DeCSS, the hack that gave us all access to DVDs was again the result of encryption keys sitting out in the open.
Because encryption doesn’t work if your keys are just sitting out in the open, system designers have come up with ingenious solutions to prevent …read more
