Bleichenbacher ’06 RSA Signature Forgery: What they assume you know

Landon | Dec 17, 2021

In 2006, Daniel Bleichenbacher shared a discovery in an evening session at a cryptography conference: Several implementations of RSA-based PKCS 1 v 1.5 cryptographic signature verification were fatally flawed and susceptible to signature forgery. It is as bad as it sounds. The sad part: The flaw in the signature verification algorithm is that the signature […]
