Hi all,
We (Marc Stevens, Arjen Lenstra and me) have used a Sony PlayStation 3=20
to correctly predict the outcome of the 2008 US presidential elections.
See http://www.win.tue.nl/hashclash/Nostradamus if you want to know
the details of what this has to do with cryptography.
We also announce two different Win32 executables that have identical=20
MD5 hash values. This can be made to happen for any two executable
files.
This implies a vulnerability in software integrity protection and=20
code signing schemes that still use MD5.
See http://www.win.tue.nl/hashclash/SoftIntCodeSign for details.
Grtz,
Benne de Weger
