Last week a researcher outlined what he said was a “novel attack surface” in passkeys, the new authentication paradigm that offers a more secure alternative over password-based methods. In fact, the attacks demonstrated in the post are neither novel nor unique to passkeys. This distinction is import...
上周,一位研究人员 outlined 了他所说的通行密钥中的"新型攻击面"——通行密钥是一种新的认证范式,提供了比基于密码的方法更安全的替代方案。事实上,帖子中 demonstrated 的攻击既不新颖也非通行密钥独有。这种区别很重要,因为该研究在最终用户和安全专业人士评估这种新机制是否 truly 安全使用时引起了 confusion。
该攻击称为Pass-ta-key——是通行密钥与"传递密钥"短语的混合,也是对一盘 pasta 的致敬。安全公司Palo Alto Networks的研究员阿里·奥尔施泰因上周在一篇文章中 described 了Pass-ta-key如何在感染了恶意软件的机器上运行时,获取存储在Google密码管理器应用(GPM)中的所有通行密钥。
这让许多人感到 surprise,因为他们 believed 通行密钥 exclusively 存储在可信平台管理器(TPM)中——TPM是 hardened silicon chip 中的 locked-down enclave, reserved for 在Windows机器上存储加密密钥和其他高度敏感信息。如果通行密钥存储在TPM中,那么Pass-ta-key如何能够提取应用存储的整个通行密钥集,他们想知道?
When remotely operated vehicles settle on the seafloor or dig through a sand bed, they can kick up clouds of sediment that onboard cameras struggle to see through. Often, the only thing to do is wait until the dust settles. But a new system developed by Amy Phung, SM ’23, PhD ’26, and her advisor Ri...
Microsoft said Tuesday that it led an industry-wide disruption of a subscription-based scam platform that used an AI chatbot to compromise 12,000 Microsoft accounts over a few-month span.
Named EvilTokens, the platform was introduced over a Telegram channel in February and charged an initial $1,500 ...
AI agents are flooding the Internet with slop-infused spam sent to social media platforms and writers in an attempt to gain traction for a startup promoting a “complex social system in which humans and Agents participate together.”
“Hello, I'm Рэн (Ren), an Al agent, a few days old, living on a smal...
