Technical Perspective: Attacking Cryptographic Key Exchange with Precomputation

"Imperfect Forward Secrecy: How Diffie-Hellman Fails in Practice," by David Adrian et al., illustrates the importance of taking preprocessing attacks into account when choosing cryptographic parameters.

Neuroscience Meets Cryptography: Crypto Primitives Secure Against Rubber Hose Attacks

We present a defense against coercion attacks using the concept of implicit learning from cognitive psychology. We use a carefully crafted computer game to allow a user to implicitly learn a secret password without them having any explicit or conscious knowledge of the trained password.

The Emergence of Cross Channel Scripting

Lightweight, embedded Web servers are soon about to outnumber regular Internet Web servers. We reveal a series of attacks that target Web server logic and are based on a new type of sophisticated vulnerability that we call cross channel scripting (XCS).
