Subject: capacity for supporting future crypto methods?
IANACryptanalyst... and I've not had time to read the report yet, but it appears that there may be a new attack on AES 256. We already know that MD5 and SHA are on the short list for replacement due to weaknesses (hence the Hash Workshop). The below news made me wonder: is KMIP well-positioned to handle future ciphers as well as greatly expanding key sizes? I'm assuming it is, but imo it's probably worth a quick analysis, just to be sure. http://www.threatpost.com/blogs/new-attack-against-aes-256-huge-result -ben -- Benjamin Tomhave, MS, CISSP falcon@secureconsulting.net Blog: http://www.secureconsulting.net/ Twitter: http://twitter.com/falconsview Photos: http://photos.secureconsulting.net/ Web: http://falcon.secureconsulting.net/ LI: http://www.linkedin.com/in/btomhave [ Random Quote: ] "We would accomplish many more things if we did not think of them as impossible."
