  • The researchers fixed the vulnerability by editing the code in a way that the attacker cannot learn the secret key of the victim. Different levels of cache include smaller and faster memories. Security in the Internet is provided by underlying cryptographic protocols. Two of the prominent ones are the Transparent Layer Security (TLS) providing security to network communications and the more specialized Secure Shell (SSH) providing secure login to remote hosts. 'Web banks use the TLS...

  • The website http://www.icicse.iisrcrcc.com/icicse/ presents a likely fraud attack. The website http://www.icicse.iisrcrcc.com/icicse/ claims that the Aalto University Department of Computer Science is organising a meeting called the "International Conference on Innovation on Computer Science and Engineering (ICICSE 2016)" in September 2016. The department is not aware of any such conference, is not involved in any related arrangements, and...
