- schoen 10y agoI don't think that can be the same attack: Matthew Green was one of the discoverers of this attack, which was just disclosed in a USENIX Security paper and was not public until then. The post you linked to is from March.
- tptacek 10y agoNo, I believe it's the same attack.
- ianmiers 10y agoCertainly looks like the same attack. The talk was given at Usenix on Thursday, which I assume is why it's coming back up.
- schoen 10y agoOops, I wrongly thought that the Usenix paper was embargoed so it must have been different. I agree that it's the same attack; thanks for the corrections.
- tedunangst 10y agoThe blog post links to a copy of the paper.
