The OWASP Top 10 (2021): Cryptographic Failures

by

Cryptographic failures occur when sensitive data is not adequately protected during storage, transit, or processing. These failures can arise from the use of outdated encryption algorithms, insecure storage of cryptographic keys, or improper implementation of encryption protocols. The vulnerabilities often stem from either a lack of awareness or neglect of best practices, leaving data exposed to unauthorised access. In the digital age, protecting sensitive data is not optional—it is a business imperative. Cryptographic failures are not merely technical flaws; they carry significant financial, legal, and reputational risks. By adhering to best practices, leveraging modern tools, and staying informed about evolving threats, software developers can safeguard data against adversaries and ensure compliance with stringent regulatory standards.

Key Recovery Attacks: Safeguarding Encryption Keys in the Digital Age

by

Key recovery attacks refer to attempts by malicious actors to retrieve encryption keys used to secure data within an organisation. By obtaining these keys, attackers can decrypt sensitive information, impersonate legitimate users, or perform unauthorised operations, leading to potential data breaches and other cyber risks. These attacks typically target encryption keys stored insecurely, in compromised systems, or within weakly protected environments.
