1024-bit RSA encryption cracked by carefully starving CPU of electricity

Since 1977, RSA public-key encryption has protected privacy and verified authenticity when using computers, gadgets and web browsers around the globe, with only the most brutish of brute force efforts (and 1,500 years of processing time) felling its 768-bit variety earlier this year. Now, three eggheads (or Wolverines, as it were) at the University of Michigan claim they can break it simply by tweaking a device’s power supply. By fluctuating the voltage to the CPU such that it generated a single hardware error per clock cycle, they found that they could cause the server to flip single bits of the private key at a time, allowing them to slowly piece together the password. With a small cluster of 81 Pentium 4 chips and 104 hours of processing time, they were able to successfully hack 1024-bit encryption in OpenSSL on a SPARC-based system, without damaging the computer, leaving a single trace or ending human life as we know it. That’s why they’re presenting a paper at the Design, Automation and Test conference this week in Europe, and that’s why — until RSA hopefully fixes the flaw — you should keep a close eye on your server room’s power supply.

Iran busts US-linked internet spy gang

March 2010

Iran claimed to have busted a spy racket allegedly linked with the US intelligence agency CIA and arrested 30 people for operating an internet network to gather secret data related to Iran’s nuclear scientists.

The Judiciary said Saturday it has dismantled a US-backed cyber network, which was set up to gather information on Iran’s nuclear scientists and spread unrest after the presidential election.

The nexus was formed by anti-Iran groups, including the terrorist Mojahedin Khalq Organisation (MKO), the Judiciary said in a statement, adding that 30 suspects have been arrested.

According to Iranian authority, during former US President George W Bush’s regime, a new campaign in the intelligence front – the “cyber war” – was set up to engage Iran, with the help of the MKO, pro-monarchy groups and other anti-Iran cells.

“Iran proxy”, which was one of the main projects of the campaign, received $50 million from the CIA and the US State Department, the statement said.
