Next week at ESORICS, I am going to present our newest research paper on attacking elliptic curve implementations (it is a joint work with Tibor Jager and Jörg Schwenk). It might be of interest especially for people who like practical crypto attacks...or for anybody who hates Java, since the attacks were applicable to two out of eight analyzed libraries: Bouncy Castle and Java Crypto Extension (JCE). The result is quite interesting since the attacks allow an attacker to recover private EC keys from different applications, for example, TLS servers.
Recent research on web security and related topics. Provided and maintained by members and friends of the Chair for Network and Data Security at the Ruhr University Bochum, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, Horst Görtz Institute for IT-Security.
