Security Strength Measurement for Dongle-Protected Software

2008-01-07 09:15:52 by Editor in IEEE Security and Privacy
 
Many people consider dongles to be among the strongest forms of copy protection, but how much security do they actually offer? The model presented here aims to monetize the security strength of dongle-protected software by forecasting the amount of time a hypothetical attacker would take to break it

What Does SHA1 is Broken Mean?

2007-12-12 07:35:00 by Eric Marvets in The Security Samurai
 
...Strength of SHA1 When we hash data, the range of values for x is infinite. The hash on the other hand is a fixed size. Therefore, for each value in the range of our hash, there are an infinite number of possible values for x This range of possible values determines the odds of guessing a value x to match a known value f(x). If the size of...
