Post-Quantum Cryptography Set to Replace RSA, ECC
Within a decade, the growth of powerful quantum computers will lead to a new era in security, in which once-impenetrable public-key techniques like RSA and ECC will fall to higher levels of brute force. Such techniques need to be replaced by post-quantum cryptography that can stand up to the new challenges.
Algorithmic approaches to post-quantum cryptography include lattice-based, hash-based, isogeny-based, multivariate, and code-based systems.
Microsoft is enabling Kubernetes for Windows edge-computing devices via 'Project Haven'
Microsoft is working on enabling Kubernetes for lightweight Windows edge-computing devices via an effort codenamed Project Haven. Officials are on tap to provide information about Haven at the company's virtual Build 2022 developer conference, which kicks off on May 24.
Public blockchain KuCoin Community Chain aims to solve high gas fees on Ethereum
Ethereum’s high gas fees have made it impossible for the network to demonstrate its full utility.
A combined effort between KuCoin and the community built around KCS, their native token, addresses these efforts by creating a high-performance blockchain, KCC. The white paper outlines how high gas fees on Ethereum can be addressed through a larger ecosystem. In this ecosystem, several different projects and platforms, including DeFi, NFTs, games, and Web3-related application projects, will be aggregated to increase the number of scenarios for KCS, the native token of KuCoin.
Unpatched DNS bug affects millions of routers and IoT devices
A vulnerability in the domain name system (DNS) component of a popular C standard library uClibc, that is present in a wide range of IoT products may put millions of devices at DNS poisoning attack risk.
A threat actor can use DNS poisoning or DNS spoofing to redirect the victim to a malicious website hosted at an IP address on a server controlled by the attacker instead of the legitimate location.
The DNS implementation in that library provides a mechanism for performing DNS-related requests like lookups, translating domain names to IP addresses, etc. After investigating the analysts discovered that the DNS lookup request's transaction ID was predictable. Because of this, DNS poisoning might be possible under certain circumstances.
The Cloud Block Storage Market in 2022
Cloud block storage is a data storage technology that’s used for files in storage area networks (SANs). Also known as block-level storage, it enables fast access to data for processing and transportation.
In cloud-based block storage, data is broken into fixed-size blocks, where every individual piece operates as an individual storage hard drive. This type of cloud storage is most commonly used by developers and software engineers for its speed and reliability.
The cloud block storage market segment alone is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 23.5% during the forecasting period from 2021 to 2027.
