- Chip bugs can lead to major security disasters
- Chip bugs can lead to major security disastersChip bugsShamir suggests that it's impractical to test all cases of 64*64-bit multiplication. But given the lifespan of a chip design, and given that the test only needs to be run once, wouldn't it be practical to design a "grid" or "distributed" test,...

- Chip bugs can lead to major security disasters
- Adi Shamir, professor at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel and "S" in RSA, sent out a warning about a hypothetical scenario in which bugs in widely used processors could be exploited undetected by "sophisticated" intelligence agencies and lead to major security disasters. These bugs chips,...

- Spotlight on 'seam carving'
- At the 6sight conference in Monterey Calif., Ariel Shamir, a visiting scientist with Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories, discusses "seam carving" technology, which lets an image be expanded or shrunk without distorting the important parts.

- GPS accuracy for a robotic neurosurgeon
- The MiniAture Robot for Surgical Applications MARS is already FDA-approved for orthopedic and spinal surgery. Now, Israeli scientists have given it GPS accuracy for keyhole neurosurgery. This is a minimally invasive procedure used for tumor biopsies or deep brain stimulation, but you need to know exactly where you operate. So...

- RSA 2007 keynotes: Notable quotes
- The morning RSA keynotes were mostly warmed over common wisdom--layer approachs, risk management, intelligence sharing, managing user identities, governance, focusing on users, etc.--about information security, with the exception of the cryptographer panel, which had some good moments. I pulled out some quotes from the presentations to give a flavor of...

- A Key Recovery Attack on the 802.11b Wired Equivalent Privacy Protocol (WEP)
- This paper presents a practical key recovery attack on WEP, the link-layer security protocol for 802.11b wireless networks. The attack is based on a partial key exposure vulnerability in the RC4 stream cipher discovered by Fluhrer, Mantin, and Shamir. This paper describes how to apply this aw to breaking WEP,...
