Scientists Crack Largest Encryption Key After 35 Million Hrs Of Computing

French scientists have set a world record by cracking the most complex cryptography algorithm to date. The encryption key, in this case, was 240 characters long making it 8 characters longer than the previous record. RSA-240, the encryption key cracked to achieve this feat is 795 bits in size and has 240 decimal digits. To […]

ROBOT Attack: 19-Year-Old Bug Returns With More Power To Target Facebook & Paypal

A team of security researchers has developed a modified version of the decryption attack first revealed in 1998 by cryptographer Daniel Bleichenbacher. The attack can compromise a website’s RSA encryption by decrypting the data using the private key of the TLS server. It was possible because of the vulnerability present in the RSA algorithm used […]
