Cryptography Research Leads Five Speaking Sessions at RSA(R) Conference 2007.SAN FRANCISCO San Francisco (săn frănsĭs`kō), city (1990 pop. 723,959), coextensive with San Francisco co., W Calif., on the tip of a peninsula between the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, which are connected by the strait known as the Golden -- Cryptography Research, Inc. (CRI CRI constant-rate infusion. ) today announced that company executives will lead five presentations throughout the week at the 16th Annual RSA Conference The RSA Conference is a Cryptography-related conference held annually in the San Francisco Bay Area. The RSA Conference started in 1991 as a forum for cryptographers to gather and share the latest knowledge and advancements in the area of Internet security. , February 5-9, at the Moscone Center The Moscone Center is San Francisco, California's largest convention and exhibition complex. The complex consists of two main underground halls underneath Yerba Buena Gardens, Moscone North and Moscone South, as well the three-level Moscone West exhibition hall across 4th Street. in San Francisco. CRI will lead a pre-conference one-day tutorial entitled "Securing Devices from Side-Channel Attacks: An Introduction to Timing Attacks, Simple Power Analysis (SPA) and Differential Power Analysis (DPA DPA - Data Protection Act )." This workshop will examine timing attacks, simple power analysis and differential power analysis as security threats to smart cards Example of widely used contactless smart cards are Hong Kong's Octopus card, Paris' Calypso/Navigo card and Lisbon' LisboaViva card, which predate the ISO/IEC 14443 standard. The following tables list smart cards used for public transportation and other electronic purse applications. and other tamper resistant devices. Details about this tutorial can be found in a separate press release issued by CRI today (see "Cryptography Research to Lead Workshop on Differential Power Analysis Attacks and Countermeasures at RSA Conference 2007"). Paul Kocher This article is about the cryptographer. For the author, see Paul H. Kocher. Paul Carl Kocher (born June 11, 1973) is an American cryptographer and cryptography consultant, currently the president of Cryptography Research, Inc. , president and chief-scientist at CRI will present "Failing Gracefully." In this session, Kocher will describe design and engineering strategies for security systems where adequate defensive mechanisms are impractical or cannot ensure the absence of weaknesses. In the talk, he will explore the use of multiple security perimeters inside products, secure update capabilities and internal consistency In statistics and research, internal consistency is a measure based on the correlations between different items on the same test (or the same subscale on a larger test). It measures whether several items that propose to measure the same general construct produce similar scores. checking methods to prevent operation in partially-exposed states. Vice President of Technology Benjamin Jun will hold a session on "Security Remodeling remodeling /re·mod·el·ing/ (re-mod´el-ing) reorganization or renovation of an old structure. bone remodeling : 10 Ways to Retrofit Transactional Systems." The session will outline ten cost-effective security improvements that can be made in conjunction with other operational changes. Jun will teach practical methods for auditing application designs, protecting databases and improving transaction management. Researcher Nate Lawson will discuss the quiet war that has raged between copy protection authors and crackers since the 1980s in his session entitled "The Copy Protection Wars: Analyzing Retro and Modern Schemes (C64 to Xbox)." Lawson will introduce the fundamental concept of asymmetry and show how schemes from Vorpal to SafeDisc achieve it and will also demonstrate attack strategies using an emulator and original Commodore drive. Security Engineer Trevor Perrin will serve as the moderator on the panel entitled "Wireless Security: Built to Last." This panel will discuss new threats to mobile security and examine wireless security strategies built to stand the test of time. CRI Presentations at RSA (1) (Rural Service Area) See MSA.
