MIT: Encryption is less secure than we thought
http://j.mp/16lP0Co (MIT)
"Unfortunately, as a group of researchers at MIT and the National
University of Ireland (NUI) at Maynooth, demonstrated in a paper
presented at the recent International Symposium on Information Theory
(view PDF), that assumption is false. In a follow-up paper being
presented this fall at the Asilomar Conference on Signals and Systems,
the same team shows that, as a consequence, the wireless card readers
used in many keyless-entry systems may not be as secure as previously
thought."
