ROCA site and Key testing

by Tim Keller

Eric Martin forwarded me some info about the ROCA stuff from last night. It was pretty cool to see Nick do his thing on the whiteboard... I'd like to claim I followed it all, but that would be a lie! Here's the link to the ROCA stuff: https://dan.enigmabridge.com/roca-critical-vulnerability-in-infineon-securi… The other conversation that happened last night surrounded very weak public keys. https://keytester.cryptosense.com Lets you test your keys to see if they're easily factored. Enjoy! Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Hey Gang, We've got a meeting tomorrow! My good friend Nick is going to deep dive on encryption! Location: Fuller Labs Rm 311 Time: 7pm The speaker for this meeting is my good friend Dr. Nick Howgrave-Graham. He's a cryptographer who has experience in both the making and breaking of encryption systems. This will be a general talk about some commonly used encryption systems, the math around them and how some of these systems have been broken through poor design. If there are some specific encryption algorithm / system that you'd like to deep dive, email the list, I'll let Nick know and possibly he can focus on that. As usual snacks and refreshments will be provided and afterwards we'll head off for a bite to eat. Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

I know that there was talk of possibly changing the WLUG meeting date from Thursday February 8th to Tuesday February 20th, but I did not hear if this change is confirmed or not. Feb 8th is still listed on the google calendar/WLUG site. So wondering which day will the new meeting be? -Ron
