For several years, CryptoHack has been a free platform for learning modern cryptography through fun and challenging programming puzzles. From toy ciphers to post-quantum cryptography, CryptoHack has a wide-ranging and ever increasing library of puzzles for both the aspiring and a ...  Show more

On April 19th 2022, Neil Madden disclosed a vulnerability in many popular Java runtimes and development kits. The vulnerability, dubbed "Psychic Signatures", lies in the cryptography for ECDSA signatures and allows an attacker to bypass signature checks entirely for these signatu ...  Show more

In this Special Edition podcast, N2K's Executive Editor Brandon Karpf speaks with Dustin Moody, mathematician at NIST, about their first 3 recently finalized post-quantum encryption standards. NIST finalized a key set of encryption algorithms designed to protect against future cy ...  Show more

Transport Layer Security (TLS) is today’s topic with guest Ed Harmoush. TLS plays a critical role in Internet security, and we dive into the differences between versions 1.2 and 1.3 In addition, Ed shares his journey into TLS, explains its components, and addresses common misconc ...  Show more

The classical encryption algorithms that currently undergird our IT infrastructure will be broken once there’s a powerful and stable enough quantum computer to do the job. Quantum-resistant algorithms are being developed by NIST, but implementation and deployment of these algorit ...  Show more

Before you listen! Helpful Acronyms to deal with the jargon: - PQC = Post Quantum Cryptography, area within quantum computing & cryptography where researchers are developing quantum-safe protocols resilient against quantum cryptography attacks. - LDPC Codes = Low Density Parity C ...  Show more
