Friday Squid Blogging: Squid Cubes June 24, 2022
Researchers thaw squid frozen into a cube and often make interesting discoveries. (Okay, this is a weird story.) As usual, you can also use this squid post to talk about the security stories in the news that I haven’t covered. Read my blog posting guidelines here.

On the Dangers of Cryptocurrencies and the Uselessness of Blockchain June 24, 2022
Earlier this month, I and others wrote a letter to Congress, basically saying that cryptocurrencies are an complete and total disaster, and urging them to regulate the space. Nothing in that letter is out of the ordinary, and is in line with what I wrote about blockchain in 2019. In response, Matthew Green has written—not […]

On the Subversion of NIST by the NSA June 23, 2022
Nadiya Kostyuk and Susan Landau wrote an interesting paper: “Dueling Over DUAL_EC_DRBG: The Consequences of Corrupting a Cryptographic Standardization Process“: Abstract: In recent decades, the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), which develops cryptographic standards for non-national security agencies of the U.S. government, has emerged as the de facto international source for cryptographic […]

Symbiote Backdoor in Linux June 22, 2022
Interesting: What makes Symbiote different from other Linux malware that we usually come across, is that it needs to infect other running processes to inflict damage on infected machines. Instead of being a standalone executable file that is run to infect a machine, it is a shared object (SO) library that is loaded into all […]

Hidden Anti-Cryptography Provisions in Internet Anti-Trust Bills June 21, 2022
Two bills attempting to reduce the power of Internet monopolies are currently being debated in Congress: S. 2992, the American Innovation and Choice Online Act; and S. 2710, the Open App Markets Act. Reducing the power to tech monopolies would do more to “fix” the Internet than any other single action, and I am generally […]

Hertzbleed: A New Side-Channel Attack June 20, 2022
Hertzbleed is a new side-channel attack that works against a variety of microprocressors. Deducing cryptographic keys by analyzing power consumption has long been an attack, but it’s not generally viable because measuring power consumption is often hard. This new attack measures power consumption by measuring time, making it easier to exploit. The team discovered that […]

Friday Squid Blogging: Signature Steamed Giant Squid with Thai Lime Sauce June 17, 2022
From a restaurant in Singapore. It’s not actually giant squid. As usual, you can also use this squid post to talk about the security stories in the news that I haven’t covered. Read my blog posting guidelines here.

Tracking People via Bluetooth on Their Phones June 17, 2022
We’ve always known that phones—and the people carrying them—can be uniquely identified from their Bluetooth signatures, and that we need security techniques to prevent that. This new research shows that that’s not enough. Computer scientists at the University of California San Diego proved in a study published May 24 that minute imperfections in phones caused […]

Attacking the Performance of Machine Learning Systems June 16, 2022
Interesting research: “Sponge Examples: Energy-Latency Attacks on Neural Networks“: Abstract: The high energy costs of neural network training and inference led to the use of acceleration hardware such as GPUs and TPUs. While such devices enable us to train large-scale neural networks in datacenters and deploy them on edge devices, their designers’ focus so far […]
