Failures of Secret Key Cryptography

Explore the challenges and vulnerabilities in secret key cryptography through an invited talk by Daniel Bernstein at FSE 2013. Delve into topics such as the feasibility of cryptography, real-world attacks, cryptographic agility, and the shortcomings of RC4 in SSL. Examine issues related to timing attacks, network packet vulnerabilities, and browser security. Gain insights into hardware and software optimization, misuse resistance, and integrated authentication. Analyze the competition landscape in cryptography and understand the importance of addressing failures in secret key systems to enhance overall security.
