Computational Errors in SSH Connections Expose Private Keys
⋅
As one of the most widely deployed protocols for remote access and secure administration, SSH needs little introduction. For the first time, researchers demonstrated that a large portion of cryptographic keys used to protect data in computer-to-server SSH traffic is vulnerable and were able to calculate the private portion of almost 200 unique SSH keys…

Privacy-Invasive Inference Capabilities of Large Language Models Uncovered
⋅
LLMs (Large Language Models), like ChatGPT, are like word association champs, using massive data to guess what words come next. Interestingly, according to a recent study, they can also make a decent guess about a wide range of personal attributes from anonymous text, such as race, gender, occupation, and location [1]. The article gives an example where…
