SSL
• A communication protocol that can use several encryption methods to secure the integrity of data between sender and receiver.
• Used to provide a record of identity that is validated by a third party to secure the authenticity of the data.
“The new Snowden revelations are explosive. Basically, the NSA is able to decrypt most of the
Internet.”
“They're doing it primarily by cheating, not by mathematics”
Bruce Schneier
Is SSL broken?
• SSL is 20 years old and has several known security issues
• TLS is used instead of SSL in the majority of cases
But we keep the door open
• Servers are often configured with a weak configuration by default
• No clear view on compatibility, especially for mobile and embedded devices
TLS support by major browsers
Cipher security – known feasible attacks
“The math is good, but math has no agency. Code has agency, and the code has been
subverted.”
Bruce Schneier
Potential backdoors?
• Dual Elliptic Curve Deterministic Random Bit Generator
• Documents "appear to confirm" that the backdoor was real, and had been deliberately inserted by the National Security Agency (New York Times)
• Would allow NSA to decrypt SSL/TLS encryption
