One crime ring scammed 2,000 elderly people of more than $27 million between 2021 and 2023 using tech support/bank impersonation/refund scams.

Мы привыкли, что повтор r в ECDSA — это случайный сбой: плохой генератор, ошибка реализации, повтор nonce. Но что, если за одним repeated-r скрывается целое семейство дефектов (defect-family), которое можно не только обнаружить, но и перенести на другие закрытые ключи?Представляем закрытую исследовательскую систему — стратификационный анализ ECDSA-подписей на secp256k1. Вместо точечных аномалий мы смотрим на фазовые корпуса подписей, используем торическую геометрию, kNN и перестановочные тесты. Результат:·. Read more ›

But "it's still far from certain what this defeat will change," argues The Verge's senior tech and policy editor, "and what the collateral damage could be."
