Experts Uncover Passive Method to Extract Private RSA Keys from SSH Connections

November 27, 2023 at 08:30AM Passive network attackers can obtain private RSA host keys from a vulnerable SSH server by observing computational faults during connection establishment, according to a new study. These attackers can then intercept sensitive data and conduct adversary-in-the-middle attacks. The research highlights the importance of encrypting protocol handshakes, binding authentication to sessions, … Read more
