AttackVector

The past week has seen a plethora of articles in the press about the
Princeton Coldboot Attack Vector and how it might wreak havoc on FDE
Encryption products. 

 

I have been watching this list with increasing interest for some time, if
not only due to my involvement with SECUDE and Full Disk Encryption but I
have also found it quite interesting and in many cases informational as well
as educational.

 

With the release of the Princeton attack, we asked some of our Senior
Cryptographic Engineers to take a closer look at this and come up with a
realistic assessment of this newly discovered attack vector.

 

We will be publishing the paper shortly, but I felt the members of this list
might appreciate having a first look...here is the link:

As individuals obviously deeply interested in encryption technology, your
comments would be most welcome and appreciated.

 

Kind Regards,

Larry

|However, hardware based encrypted drives like Seagate FDE would easily
