Schneier et al Report PGP Vulnerability

Posted by timothy on from the speak-plainly dept.

SpaceTaxi writes: "Researchers reported that they were able to intercept and modify a PGP encrypted message so that, IF it is sent back to the attacker, the original message could be read by the attacker." The paper comes from Kahil Jallad, Jonathan Katz, and Bruce Schneier. Here is the Yahoo! article.

    I know it's off topic, but since everyone seems to have pop-ups here with such a passion, why doesn't Slashdot adopt a policy to not link to stories (like this) at Yahoo!, who has pop-ups, and instead only link to sites that are pop-up free? I'm sure this story is going to be picked up by many other sites, but Yahoo! will get all that traffic, and keep serving up the pop-up ads, as we all go there.
