Abstract: RC4 is the most widely used stream cipher around. A lot of modifications of RC4 cipher can be seen in open literature. Most of them enhance the secrecy of the cipher and the security levels ...

Microsoft is continuing its push to modernize Windows security, and this time the focus is on strengthening Kerberos authentication across the platform. The company is preparing a major Kerberos ...

To tackle that, Microsoft has started rolling out protections designed to prevent information disclosure attacks that could expose Kerberos service tickets using weak or legacy encryption, including ...

Microsoft is officially moving to shut the door on RC4 - a legacy cryptographic cipher that has quietly persisted inside Windows authentication environments for decades - and forcing organizations to ...

Microsoft is officially moving to shut the door on RC4 - a legacy cryptographic cipher that has quietly persisted inside Windows authentication environments for decades - and forcing organizations to ...

About time: Microsoft introduced support for the RC4 stream cipher in Windows 2000 as the default authentication algorithm for the Active Directory services. The system has been insecure for even ...

Microsoft is killing off an obsolete and vulnerable encryption cipher that Windows has supported by default for 26 years following more than a decade of devastating hacks that exploited it and ...

Cryptography secures communication in banking, messaging, and blockchain. Good algorithms (AES, RSA, ECC, SHA-2/3, ChaCha20) are secure, efficient, and widely trusted. Bad algorithms (DES, MD5, SHA-1, ...
