This year’s Real World Cryptography Conference recently took place in Toronto, Canada. As usual, this conference organized by the IACR showcased recent academic results and industry perspectives on current cryptography topics over three days of presentations. A number of co-located events also took place before and after the conference, including the FHE.org Conference, the Real […]
In April 2024, Distrust engaged NCC Group’s Cryptography Services team to perform a cryptographic security assessment of keyfork, described as “an opinionated and modular toolchain for generating and managing a wide range of cryptographic keys offline and on smartcards from a shared mnemonic phrase”. The tool is intended to be run on an air-gapped system […]
Let’s kick this off with some examples. Here’s a seamless loop illustrating CBC-mode encryption: Here’s a clip showing a code block being rewritten to avoid leaking padding information in error messages: Here’s an illustration of a block cipher operating in CTS mode: You may be surprised to learn that each of these illustrations was generated […]
