Google updates Google Security Operations and more with Gemini AI. Google is combining the security capabilities of information security company Mandiant and malware scanner VirusTotal with Gemini AI and Google's own user and device footprint in a new offering called Google Threat Intelligence. Available May 6 wherever Google Cloud Security is distributed, Google Threat Intelligence uses Gemini AI to get a top-down look at security data, competing with Microsoft's Copilot for Security.

History of RSA Conference. Bruce Schneier. The First ‘Exhibitor’ in 1994.
2024-04-11 05:52

Bruce Schneier was at the first ever RSA Conference in 1991, and he was the first 'exhibitor' in 1994 when he asked Jim Bidzos, Creator of the RSA Conference, if he could sell copies of his book "Applied Cryptography." Bidzos set Schneier up in the hotel lobby where the conference was being held-and the rest is history. Listen to some great RSA Conference memories on this episode of the History of RSA Conference.

Microsoft announces deprecation of 1024-bit RSA keys in Windows
2024-03-18 19:51

Microsoft has announced that RSA keys shorter than 2048 bits will soon be deprecated in Windows Transport Layer Security to provide increased security. 1024-bit RSA keys have approximately 80 bits of strength, while the 2048-bit key has approximately 112 bits, making the latter four billion times longer to factor.

Researchers extract RSA keys from SSH server signing errors
2023-11-19 15:01

A team of academic researchers from universities in California and Massachusetts demonstrated that it's possible under certain conditions for passive network attackers to retrieve secret RSA keys from naturally occurring errors leading to failed SSH connection attempts. A paper published by university researchers Keegan Ryan, Kaiwen He, Nadia Heninger, and George Arnold Sullivan, shows that it's possible for a passive network attacker to obtain a private RSA key from SSH servers experiencing faults during signature computation.
