Growth strategies for Encryption Software Market for period of 2019 to 2026 explained in a new research - News Cast Report

Three years ago, Ars declared the SHA1 cryptographic hash algorithm officially dead after researchers performed the worlds first known instance of a fatal exploit known as a "collision" on it. On Tuesday, the dead SHA1 horse got clobbered again as a different team of researchers unveiled a new attack thats significantly more powerful.

The new collision gives attackers more options and flexibility than were available with the previous technique. It makes it practical to create PGP encryption keys that, when digitally signed using SHA1 algorithm, impersonate a chosen target. More generally, it produces the same hash for two or more attacker-chosen inputs by appending data to each of them. The attack unveiled on Tuesday also costs as little as $45,000 to carry out. The attack disclosed in 2017, by contrast, didnt allow forgeries on specific predetermined document prefixes and was evaluated to cost from $110,000 to $560,000 on Amazons Web Services platform, depending on how quickly adversaries wanted to carry it out.

The new attack is significant. While SHA1 has been slowly phased out over the past five years, it remains far from being fully deprecated. Its still the default hash function for certifying PGP keys in the legacy 1.4 version branch of GnuPG, the open-source successor to PGP application for encrypting email and files. Those SHA1-generated signatures were accepted by the modern GnuPG branch until recently, and were only rejected after the researchers behind the new collision privately reported their results.

Git, the world's most widely used system for managing software development among multiple people, still relies on SHA1 to ensure data integrity. And many non-Web applications that rely on HTTPS encryption still accept SHA1 certificates. SHA1 is also still allowed for in-protocol signatures in the Transport Layer Security and Secure Shell protocols.

In a paper presented at this weeks Real World Crypto Symposium in New York City, the researchers warned that even if SHA1 usage is low or used only for backward compatibility, it will leave users open to the threat of attacks that downgrade encrypted connections to the broken hash function. The researchers said their results underscore the importance of fully phasing out SHA1 across the board as soon as possible.

This work shows once and for all that SHA1 should not be used in any security protocol where some kind of collision resistance is to be expected from the hash function, the researchers wrote. Continued usage of SHA1 for certificates or for authentication of handshake messages in TLS or SSH is dangerous, and there is a concrete risk of abuse by a well-motivated adversary. SHA1 has been broken since 2004, but it is still used in many security systems; we strongly advise users to remove SHA1 support to avoid downgrade attacks.

To recap, a hash is a cryptographic fingerprint of a message, file, or other type of digital input that, like traditional fingerprints, looks unique. Also known as message digests, hashes play a vital role in ensuring that software updates, cryptographic keys, emails, and other types of messages are the authentic product of a specific person or entity, as opposed to a counterfeit input created by an adversary. These digital fingerprints come in the form of a fixed sequence of numbers and letters that are generated when the message is inputted into a hash algorithm or function.

The entire security of a hashing scheme rests on the infeasibility of finding two or more different inputs that produce the same fingerprints. A function with a bit length of n should require a brute force attacker to test 2n/2 inputs before finding a collision (a mathematical concept known as the birthday paradox significantly reduces the number of guesses required, accounting for the n/2 in the equation). Hash functions with sufficient bit lengths and collision resistance are secure because they require an attacker to devote an infeasible amount of time and computing resources to generate a collision. Hash functions are considered broken when collisions can be found using fewer than 2n/2 tries.

The 128-bit MD5 hash function was one of the earlier widely used entrants to fall to collision attacks. Although researchers warned as early as 1996 that flaws in MD5 made it prone to collisions, it remained a key part of software and Web authentication for more than two decades afterwards.

Then, in 2008, researchers used MD5 collisions to create an HTTPS certificate for any website of their choosing. The demonstration eventually convinced browser-trusted certificate authorities to drop MD5, but the function continued to be widely used for other purposes. The full deprecation of MD5 for authentication purposes didnt come until 2012, when the Flame espionage malware, which the US and Israel are reported to have used to spy on sensitive Iranian networks, wielded a collision attack to hijack Microsoft's Windows Update mechanism so Flame could spread from computer to computer inside an infected network.

The attackwhich cost as little as $110,000 to carry out on Amazon's cloud computing platformwas what cryptographers call a classical collision attack. Also known as an identical prefix collision, it results when two inputs have the same predetermined prefixor beginningand differing data that follows. Even though the two inputs are distinctly different, they can hash to the same value if additional data is appended to the files. Stated another way, for a hash function H, two distinct messages M1 and M2 will lead to the same hash output: H(M1) = H(M2).

Identical prefix collisions are powerful and a fatal blow against the security of a hash function, but their utility to attackers is also limited. A far more powerful form of collision is known as a chosen prefix attack, which is what allowed the MD5 attacks against the HTTPS certificate system in 2008 and against Microsofts update mechanism in 2012. While harder to carry out than identical prefix collisions, the chosen prefix cousins are generally much more useful.

Thats because chosen prefix attacks allow attackers to take two or more different prefixesas opposed to the same prefix in traditional collision attacksand append data to each so they hash to the same value. Given two message prefixes P1 and P2, an attacker can compute two messages M1 and M2 such that H(P1 || M1) = H(P2 || M2), where || denotes concatenation, or the act of linking the two. A more detailed explanation of chosen prefix collisions is available in this 2015 post from Nick Sullivan, head of research and cryptography at content delivery network Cloudflare.

The attack demonstrated Tuesday is the first known chosen prefix collision on SHA1. To demonstrate its potency, researchers Gatan Leurent and Thomas Peyrin of Inria France and the Nanyang Technological University in Singapore respectively, used the collision to perform a PGP/GnuPG impersonation attack. In their Real World Crypto paper the researchers explain:

The chosen prefixes correspond to headers of two PGP identity certificates with keys of different sizes, an RSA-8192 key and an RSA-6144 key. By exploiting properties of the OpenPGP and JPEG format, we can create two public keys: key A with the victim name, and key B with the attacker name and picture, such that the identity certificate containing the attacker key and picture has the same SHA-1 hash as the identity certificate containing the victim key and name. Therefore, the attacker can request a signature of his key and picture from a third party (from the Web of Trust or from a CA) and transfer the signature to key A. The signature will still be valid because of the collision, while the attacker controls key A with the name of the victim, and signed by the third party. Therefore, he can impersonate the victim and sign any document in her name.

In a post further demonstrating the attack, the researchers provided both messageA and messageB. Despite containing differing user ID prefixes, they both map to the same SHA1 hash value of 8ac60ba76f1999a1ab70223f225aefdc78d4ddc0.

The researchers results significantly improve the efficiency of SHA1 attacks, with a speedup factor of about 10. More precisely, the new attacks reduce the cost of an identical prefix collision attack from 264.7 to 261.2, and the cost of a chosen-prefix collision attack from 267.1 to 263.4 when performed on a GTX 970 graphics processor.

The researchers carried out the attack over a two-month period on a cluster of 900 Nvidia GTX 1060 GPUs they rented online. They said the rented cluster is a much more economical platform than Amazon Web Services and competing cloud services. The attack cost $74,000 when carried out a few months ago, but with an optimized implementation and computation costs that have continued to fall, the researchers say the same attack now costs $45,000. By 2025, the researchers estimate the attack will cost $10,000. The result: the same chosen prefix attacks that have been possible against MD5 since 2009 are now practical against SHA1 as well and will only become more affordable over time.

The researchers privately reported their results to developers of software that is most affected. They included developers for:

Given the number of applications and protocols that continue to rely on SHA1 for collision-resistant hashes, however, the researchers were unable to contact all affected developers. To prevent the attacks from being actively used in the wild, the researchers are withholding many of the collision details for the time being.

Matt Green, a John Hopkins University professor specializing in cryptography, said the results were impressive and underscored the oft-repeated observation that SHA1 can no longer be considered secure.

For a secure hash function, a [speedup] factor of 10 shouldnt make much of a difference, but when youre down to something thats pretty close to broken, those kinds of efficiencies really make a difference, especially when theres lots of mining hardware out there, he said in an interview. We knew that one shoe had dropped and this is the next shoe dropping.

FileVault is an extraordinary bit of macOS technology. Introduced years ago, it encrypts the entire contents of your startup volume so that when the data is at restwhen your Mac is powered downthe drive is effectively full of garbage nonsense to anyone who doesnt possess either the password to an account authorized to log in via FileVault or the special recovery key set when you turn FileVault on.

When you use the Security & Privacy preference panes FileVault tab to enable this encryption, macOS prompts you with two choices:

In both cases, a recovery key is set. However, if you use iCloud to store your key, you never see it, and Apple manages the recovery process. All you need is your iCloud password and, if you turned on two-factor authentication, a trusted device or access to a trusted phone number. But this introduces risk, as someone who obtained your computer and discovered your password could potentially unlock the drive, too.

I prefer the second choice, as it provides entirely local control. No secret is stored remotely. You only face a problem if you forget the passwords to all macOS accounts approved for FileVault-based cold start (from a shutdown state) loginsand you lose your recovery key. (I have heard of cases in which account information becomes corrupted, though, and the recovery key is the only way to start up a Mac.)

What happens if, while youre trying to write down the recovery key, it disappears from the screen? While this seems unlikely it happened to one reader, who doesnt believe they clicked a button or otherwise caused the key message to dismiss. They wrote in to ask how they could recover the recovery key?

Unfortunately, theres no method to retrieve the key once its been displayed and dismissed. The recovery key is generated and passed through a strong one-way encryption process; only the result is used to further protect the keys used in FileVault encryption. The recovery key is displayed once. When you dismiss the dialog, macOS tosses this original version of it forever. (Entering the precise original recovery key, which is fed through the same one-way process, unlocks the data that it protects.)

If you werent able to write the key down before it disappeared from view, you have to disable FileVault encryption and re-enable it to generate a new recovery key:

In the Security & Privacy system preference pane, click the FileVault tab.

Click the lock icon at the lower-left corner and enter an account name and password with administrative access.

Click the Turn Off FileVault button.

Confirm you want to disable FileVault by clicking Restart & Turn Off Encryption.

Your Mac now restarts. After you log back in using an account with FileVault permission, macOS begins decrypting the entire contents of the drive. This can take quite a while.

When decryption is complete, you can return to the FileVault tab and click Turn On FileVault.

At the Recovery Key prompt, choose the Create a recovery key option and write the key down. You might even quickly take a picture of it as a backup. (But be sure to delete that photo and then permanently delete it from the Recently Deleted album to avoid any chance of someone gaining access to it.)

Restart again and FileVault begins the slow process of encrypting the startup volume once more.

How to cope with a FileVault recovery key disappearing while you write it down - Macworld

Virtual private networks (VPNs) have become popular, particularly with businesses, because they provide advanced security without compromising convenience. They are easy to set up and use and are one of the most affordable cybersecurity options available today. A business VPN is part of almost every enterprises IT infrastructure. But how did their rise to prominence occur?

How did VPNs become popular?

In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the number of cyberattacks on companies. And the cybercrime business is only getting larger -- it's expected to cost the world $6 trillion by 2021, according to The Herjavic Group.

A recent Verizon report claimed that nearly 43% of small businesses were targeted through cyberattacks. The report was based on research conducted in over 86 countries worldwide, and its findings have led to a surge in demand for stronger security solutions like VPN services.

How does a VPN work?

The purpose of a business VPN is to provide end-to-end encryption for every device in your companys network, which means no snoops, hackers or even your internet service provider can see your location or data. This provides a private, secure connection to the internet no matter where you are.

Today, VPNs provide advanced security solutions to over 26% of internet users across the world, according to audience analytics firm GlobalWebIndex.

Why do businesses today use VPN services?

The way companies do business has changed considerably over the last 15 years. Desktop computers have given way to laptops, iPads and other mobile devices. There's more flexibility with remote working options and bring your own device (BYOD) policies -- all of which have resulted in the need for more digital security and, subsequently, the growth of the business VPN market.

The threat of cyberattacks alone has led many organizations to use secure and advanced solutions like VPNs to keep their data protected. VPNs help companies encrypt data and scan devices for malware to prevent hacking threats. Data shows the global VPN market was valued at $15 billion in 2016 and is projected to grow by 18% before 2022. Two of the most critical drivers of this growth are security and privacy.

Slow speeds have traditionally been a weakness for VPN services across the world, but advancements to VPN technology, such as layer 2 tunneling protocols (L2TP) and virtual private LAN service (VPLS), have helped overcome many restrictions, including internet speed. These new technologies use point-to-point topology and are building even more confidence in the VPN market by offering improved encryption and more security options.

Many tech giants have already started offering proprietary VPN services. McAfee recently acquired TunnelBear VPN, and Symantec started Norton Wi-Fi VPN. Facebook has also set its sights on reintroducing a VPN service, but the social media giant has been criticized for the way it handles data of the terminated Facebook Onavo VPN.

Are VPNs worth the money?

If you're looking to cut costs for your business, it may be tempting to avoid paying for a VPN. But if your security fails, you could end up paying a significantly higher price. Insurance carrier Hiscox says that businesses of all sizes lose up to $200,000 on average in the event of a data breach.

When it comes time to get a VPN, don't skimp out. Contrary to what you may think, VPNs are not expensive. In fact, they're some of the most cost-effective services around and don't require a big IT budget.

Protecting your data and keeping your servers safe is a huge priority and promotes confidence in your business. Plenty of cloud VPN providers are available without any major installations needed on your servers or from your team.

If you're ready to regain control of your online activities, it's important to find a business VPN that suits your needs. Now is not the time to claim ignorance; it's time to act. Secure your company for the future by protecting all of your crucial business data and servers with a strong business VPN service.

Why Have VPNs Become So Important To Corporations? - Forbes

German cycle-maker Canyon Bicycles GmbG has confirmed it was the victim of a security break-in over the holiday period that has all the hallmarks of a ransomware attack with parts of the infrastructure padlocked by the perpetrators.

The digital burglars gained access to IT systems shortly before the turn of the year, the bike maker said in a statement (PDF): Software and servers were encrypted and thus locked in places.

The website remained unaffected, meaning that online orders were placed as normal, it added, and that attack had been identified and stopped to the best of its current state of knowledge.

The attack shows massive criminal intent, said Canyon founder and CEO Roman Arnold. Due to the encryption of our IT infrastructure, work and business processes were temporarily massively affected.

The Koblenz HQ in west Germany and nearly all of the international operations were directly impacted, with the exception of the US subsidiary because it runs a separate IT system.

Arnold made no reference to ransomware, if a ransom has been demanded, the size of the ransom or if it had been paid. The Register called the UK operations to pose these questions but was told by the head of customer services that no further comment will be made.

It is a very sensitive business-related matter, the rep said.

We have also emailed a bunch of questions to the HQ in Germany as no telephone number is available.

The CEO did say that Canyon expects delays to customer orders and delivery in the next few weeks but it making every effort to lessen the impact on punters get back to normal operations as quickly as possible.

We regret this incident very much and apologise that Canyon us currently not able to offer its usual standard of service, Arnold added.

Since the incident occurred, Canyon said it has worked closely with local and state criminal investigators, and has informed the commissioner for the state of Rhineland-Palatinate. The company said: Criminal charges will be filed against the perpetrators.

Experts from the fields of IT, forensics and cyber security were able to quickly analyse and control the attack and have already initiated solutions and countermeasures, Canyon added.

Arnold and his brother Franc, who is no longer involved with the business, set up Radsport Arnold GmbH in 1985 as a supplier of bike components, and in 2001 it changed its moniker and became a finished cycle maker.

In 2016, the firm had to apologise for delayed orders and "missing information" for customers after it implemented a new ERP system and opened a new production site in late 2015.

Wheelie bad end to 2019 for Canyon Bicycles as hackers puncture IT systems - The Register

In todays digital age, privacy concerns are more important than they have ever been before. Just because you have a password for all of your most important sites, doesnt mean you should skimp out on the tools needed for internet browsing privacy. In this article, well go over how you can make sure your internet search is safe from foreign viruses and prying government eyes with the use of a top-quality VPN. Additionally, well learn more about some of the best VPNs you can use that can work all over the world.

A VPN or Virtual Privacy Network is a tool that allows you to connect to the internet via an encrypted network that has the ability to bypass many of the geographic-based restrictions for internet usage placed by the country you are currently in. Additionally, a VPN can hide your current IP address and display the IP address of a server that you are not connected to. But how does it work?

When you think about an internet connection, the first thing that likely comes to your mind is a connection to the WiFi via an ISP or Internet Service Provider. Typically this connection is completely unencrypted with data and information like your IP address open to the public. As a result, your ISP and anyone else with the means can monitor what you are doing online (even if you are on incognito mode).

When you use a VPN, you scramble or encrypt the data connection to the ISP while traveling along the same information highway an unencrypted data connection would go. As a result, you have access to the information or content that is blocked by a country that would have otherwise been able to recognize the IP address you were coming from and then block the website you were looking to access.

Depending on the country you are in, you will see a range of views regarding VPNs. While some countries in the west including the US, Canada, United Kingdom, and many countries in Europe are rather lax on the use of VPNs, other countries in Asia and the Middle East like North Korea, China, and Iraq are extremely strict and have limited the use of VPNs. Russia is extremely strict and has outright banned the use of these encryption tools for users to get to the sites that the state has explicitly blocked.

Before you decide to use a VPN in a foreign country, make sure to read the fine print and determine whether it is ok to use in that country. Chances are that it is but you might be in a country that has extremely strict laws regarding their use. If this is the case, then you will want to know your specific rights when it comes to protecting your privacy as you browse in a foreign country.

Additionally, youll want to keep on the lookout for companies that utilize suspicious and malicious business practices in order to get people to download their proxy tool. Sometimes these companies claim to have a free VPN but once you download it, they can take all of your information and sell it to a third party. Sometimes a third party could be a government entity. You wont want that 3 am knock on your hotel room door when you are trying to get some sleep before visiting Bosnias city-scapes the next morning.

If you want to download a VPN, then it is best to be informed of the different kinds of VPNs that are actually out there. The last thing you want is for your own ignorance to lead you down the road towards downloading a VPN that delivers a virus or tags your device for prying government eyes.

Allows for remote access to files that might be located in a blocked site within the geographic region.

This is used in mainly corporate settings and allows companies with sites in different locations to communicate through the geographic limitations that have been set up.

Also known as Internet Protocol Security, IPSec offers a transport or tunneling mode to protect the data that is transferred between two different networks.

Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol creates a tunnel between two connection access points. Combined with the IPSec, it is a very secure VPN because the IPSec encrypts the data while the L2TP creates the tunneling mechanism.

PPTP or Point to Point Tunneling Protocol encrypts the data between the network connections. It encapsulates the data within an encryption packet before sending it down the information network.

Secure Socket Layer and Transport Layer Security together create a connection that allows the user to browse the website when access is limited within the geographic location.

One of the most common VPNs in use today, OpenVPN uses an open-source method for creating VPN connections. This means that anyone with knowledge of VPN coding can edit the internal structure to make updates to the Point to Point and Site to Site connections.

Also known as Secure Shell, SSH has an encrypted tunnel through which data transfer can occur. An SSH client creates this tunnel where data is transferred from a local port onto a remote server. It is how you are able to access a Netflix show only available in one region when you are located in another that would not have access to the show.

If you are traveling to a foreign country and need to use the internet for business or personal reasons, it might be time to look into downloading a VPN that can protect you as you browse freely. However, it is important to know what kind of VPN you are looking to download and what the legality is from country to country. Armed with this knowledge, you will be able to surf the internet as if you are surfing it from home.

We are excited to lead the airline industry in providing this important security solution to our clients, said Jan Blanchard, Chief Commercial Officer, Retail inMotion.

ATLANTA and DUBLIN (PRWEB) January 07, 2020

Bluefin, the leading provider of payment security technologies and PCI-validated point-to-point encryption (P2PE) solutions for retail, hospitality, healthcare, and higher education today announced its partnership with Irish-based Retail inMotion, the LSG Groups onboard retail expert brand. Through this partnership, users of the Retail inMotion onboard retail management platform will benefit from Bluefins PCI-validated P2PE solution.

Retail inMotion specializes in the development and procurement of onboard retail products, complete management of buy-on-board programs, and end-to-end IT support of these programs through proprietary software solutions. The company serves major brands in the airline industry, including Cathay Pacific and more than 40 others worldwide.

Bluefins PCI-validated P2PE technology secures credit and debit card transactions by encrypting all data within a PCI-approved point of entry device. This prevents clear-text cardholder data from being available within the device, or in the merchants system where exposure to malware is possible. Data decryption always occurs offsite in a Bluefin hardware security module (HSM), ensuring the highest level of security.

Retail inMotion is a best in class provider to some of the largest airlines in the world, who will benefit from the security, PCI scope reduction and brand protection of PCI-validated P2PE, said Greg Cornwell, head of global sales for Bluefin. As we have seen from breaches this year, the travel and hospitality industries are a major target for hackers, and we are very pleased to partner with Retail inMotion to secure payments for their travel industry clients.

Bluefin enables PCI-validated P2PE on partner platforms using their Decryptx Decryption as a Service (DaaS) product. More than 125 connected partners including gateways, ISVs, and processors interact directly with Bluefin for the P2PE service.

This is a great partnership for Retail inMotion and Bluefin," said Jan Blanchard, Chief Commercial Officer, Retail inMotion. We are excited to lead the airline industry in providing this important security solution to our clients.

The benefits of the Bluefin and Retail inMotion P2PE solution include reducing PCI scope from 329 to 33 questions on the P2PE self-assessment questionnaire (SAQ), which in turn provides significant cost and efficiency savings; online management of the P2PE device process with Bluefins P2PE Manager; and seamless integration with Retail inMotions platforms.
