Dear moderators: Can you adjust the title? I misunderstood it, as I think many others will, as defeating all RSA-1024 by all GPG users done on any computer. It's actually about people who share a computer with someone doing a GPG decryption.
The paper's title is: "Sliding right into disaster: Left-to-right sliding windows leak". Standard HN practice is to use the page's title as the post title.
Alternative options that seem clear to me:
- "Local-machine side channel attack defeats RSA-1024 decryption using GPG (CVE-2017-7526)"
- "Complete break of RSA-1024 in GPG (CVE-2017-7526) for local attackers"
- "Sliding right into disaster: Left-to-right sliding window attack against local-machine RSA-1024 in GPG (CVE-2017-7526)"
Thanks!
- sctb 9y agoThanks, we've changed the title from “Complete Break of RSA-1024 in GPG (CVE-2017-7526)” to that of the paper.
- jenrzzz 9y agoI was an expecting an article about waterproofing differences between windows that open to the left and those that open to the right. Forgot this was HN.
- code_duck 9y agoMy first thought was window managers... like, a flaw was found in some code that does window sliding somehow.
- gonmf 9y agoI thought this too!
- kalms 9y agoHaving just installed massive sliding doors in my home, this was also my first thought. I was actually disappointed!
- dfc 9y agoHow big are the doors?
