Coming soon to OpenSSL: a simple, safe and performant API for primality testing. With @Massicrypt, and with thanks to Kurt Roeckx from OpenSSL and @LindellYehuda who posed the question. #AppliedCryptoFTW

Theory: eprint.iacr.org/2019/032 - malicious DH parameters for OpenSSL. ---> Practice: github.com/openssl/openssl/p… - increases rounds of Miller-Rabin testing in DH parameter validation. Nice work @Massicrypt!

Phew, CVE-2018-4398 is finally out - flaws in Apple's primality testing code in their CoreCrypto library, affecting multiple products and OSes. See Sections 1.3 and 4.8 of our updated paper at: eprint.iacr.org/2018/749, cc @Massicrypt @martinralbrecht @jurajsomorovsky

Super cool paper. We at @Cloudflare are happy that we were able to donate some of our spare cycles to help with this research.
Our new paper on how to fool primality tests in widely-deployed crypto libraries, accepted to CCS with @Massicrypt @martinralbrecht and @jurajsomorovsky
