An academic paper published last month has shed new light on a new user tracking technique that takes advantage of a legitimate mechanism associated with the TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocol ...

There is a feature supported by the SSL/TLS encryption standard and used by most of the major browsers that leaks enough information about encrypted sessions to enable attackers decrypt users’ ...

The ‘CRIME’ attack announced last week exploits the data compression scheme used by the TLS (Transport Layer Security) and SPDY protocols to decrypt user authentication cookies from HTTPS (HTTP Secure ...

Researchers have identified a security weakness that allows them to hijack web browser sessions even when they’re protected by the HTTPS encryption that banks and e-commerce sites use to prevent ...

In Part 1 of my series on Transport Layer Security (TLS) decryption, I went over a few basics of encryption, discussed TLS 1.2, and concluded by outlining the improvements TLS 1.3 provided. In this ...

SSL/TLS encryption once again is being haunted by an outdated and weak feature long past its prime: a newly discovered attack exploits a weakness in the older, less secure RC4 encryption algorithm ...

Post-quantum security revolves around staying in the race because when quantum arrives, it won’t send a warning. Those who ...
