"The KeyUpdate handshake message is used to indicate that the sender is updating its sending cryptographic keys."
"If the request_update field is set to "update_requested", then the receiver MUST send a KeyUpdate o…
The ssh-keygen command to generate the pair of keys files can use the -t option. According to Ubuntu Noble’s man ssh-keygen for the mentioned option, it indicates:
-t dsa | ecdsa | ecdsa-sk | ed25519 | ed25519-sk | rsa

I created a private key using Analog device’s signtool. It can be found part of "CrossCore Embedded Studio for Blackfin, SHARC and SHARC+ – Release (Rev. 2.12.0)". Link: https://www.analog.com/en/resources/evaluation-hardware-and…
I am attempting to perform real time decryption of TLS 1.3 packets (TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384). I have retrieved the mastersecrets for the specific flow by using uprobes on OpenSSL, and matched the mastersecrets to the flow using ClientRandom…

I’ve used OpenSSL to encrypt some socket communications.
I am however using some functionality from the windows API that prevents me from using OpenSSL’s opaque builtin sockets, so I am buffering through their BIO_s_mem interfaces …
For key1.pem, I am using WSL and OpenSSL. First I generate the an RSA private key used for signing with this exact command:
openssl genrsa -aes256 -out private.key 1024
Then I create a certificate and private key using this command:
opens…
I have a textbook that contains the following problem:
In practice, one master key, KM, is exchanged in a secure way (e.g. Diffie-Hellman key exchange) between the involved parties. Afterwards, session keys, kx, are regularly updated by u…
In a recent ssh -vv output, I saw OpenSSH mentioning a private key file id_xmss.
XMSS is defined in RFC 8391, "XMSS: eXtended Merkle Signature Scheme", May 2018.
OpenSSH has experimental support for XMSS since version 7.7 (2018-0…
Recently, GitLab[1] and GitKraken[2] notified users about a vulnerability in GitKraken version v in range 7.6.0<=v<=8.0.0. Those versions are affected by CVE-2021-41117[3] and therefore, generate weak SSH keys. Now, as an administrat…
OpenVPN recommends using a 2048 RSA key size for greater security, however, the hardware I’m using is somewhat weak and defaults to using a 1024 RSA key size. I’m trying to determine if it’s worth the hassle of manually changing things to…
