The case against regulating encryption technology: one of the pioneers of computer security says the U.S. government should keep its hand off cryptography

Article Abstract:

Regulating encryption technology over national security issues is a weak argument for its widespread use to protect data transmission. The strong growth of strong encryption technology would soon be a force enough for its adoption in business and industry that regulation would be hard to justify.

Bad timing: a loophole is found in a popular encryption scheme

Article Abstract:

Cryptography consultant Paul C. Kocher has discovered that public-key encryption can be solved by timing how long a computer takes to decipher messages. Timing allows a hacker to identify the public key used to encrypt messages.
