RSA encryption cracked by carefully starving CPU of electricity
- DarkShikari 16y agountil RSA hopefully fixes the flaw I cannot comprehend the confusion of ideas necessary to generate this phrase.
- mquander 16y agoCan't you find a real link next time, instead of this content-free blogspam? Here, I did it for you: http://www.eecs.umich.edu/~valeria/research/publications/DATE10RSA.pdf http://www.eecs.umich.edu/~valeria/research/publications/DAT... By the way, this is from a year ago.
- jsdalton 16y agoA link to a PDF of a research document with an obtuse abstract, versus a quick, readable summary published on one of the industry's leading tech publications? I'll take the latter, thank you.
- Xk 16y ago> industry's leading tech publications I hope you're joking. Sometimes, sure, they're good. But that article is ... I'll hold my tongue. They're making it out to be some amazing feat. While I don't want to take away from the authors who I'm sure are great researchers, this is nothing new. And then there's the part where they suggest RSA fix it, and that's just something else.
- jsdalton 16y agoIt is one of the industry's leading tech publications: http://www.techmeme.com/lb http://www.techmeme.com/lb ... though I do agree, this article is pretty crappy, as some others have pointed out. I mostly just disagree with the parent's assertion that a short summary of a research paper posted on a major publication qualifies as "blog spam" or that the original poster had some kind of obligation to track down the source paper. Sometimes a tl;dr version is just what the doctor ordered.
- mquander 16y agoWell, suit yourself. I'll take the former. Hopefully RSA will publish their own summary of this attack ;)

- devicenull 16y agoIf you have physical access to the server, it's already screwed. This is hardly "cracking" RSA encryption.
