IS AES OVER?
This is big -- AES is used in EVERYTHING. If someone can factor the key faster than these guys, nothing online is safe. If there is a method, expect major lawsuits and information wars beyond belief. If you can factor and crack in real time, expect MAJOR market problems. Teams will crash the planet (no joke) using cloud/decentralized computing.
Also, if cracked, look for companies w/ the next best algo. Money to be made.

Researchers identify first flaws in the Advanced Encryption Standard
Posted on 17 August 2011.
Bookmark and Share
Researchers have found a weakness in the AES algorithm. They managed to come up with a clever new attack that can recover the secret key four times easier than anticipated by experts.
In the last decade, many researchers have tested the security of the AES algorithm, but no flaws were found so far.
In 2009, some weaknesses were identified when AES was used to encrypt data under four keys that are related in a way controlled by an attacker; while this attack was interesting from a mathematical point of view, the attack is not relevant in any application scenario.
The new attack applies to all versions of AES even if it used with a single key. The attack shows that finding the key of AES is four times easier than previously believed; in other words, AES-128 is more like AES-126.
Even with the new attack, the effort to recover a key is still huge: the number of steps to find the key for AES-128 is an 8 followed by 37 zeroes.
To put this into perspective: on a trillion machines, that each could test a billion keys per second, it would take more than two billion years to recover an AES-128 key.
Note that large corporations are believed to have millions of machines, and current machines can only test 10 million keys per second.
Because of these huge complexities, the attack has no practical implications on the security of user data; however, it is the first significant flaw that has been found in the widely used AES algorithm and was confirmed by the designers.
The AES algorithm is used by hundreds of millions of users worldwide to protect internet banking, wireless communications, and the data on their hard disks. In 2000, the Rijndael algorithm, designed by the Belgian cryptographers Dr. Joan Daemen (STMicroelectronics) and Prof. Vincent Rijmen (K.U.Leuven), was selected as the winner of an open competition organized by the US NIST (National Institute for Standards and Technology).
Today AES is used in more than 1700 NIST-validated products and thousands of others; it has been standardized by NIST, ISO, and IEEE and it has been approved by the NSA for protecting secret and even top secret information.
The attack is a result of a long-term cryptanalysis project carried out by Andrey Bogdanov (K.U.Leuven, visiting Microsoft Research at the time of obtaining the results), Dmitry Khovratovich (Microsoft Research), and Christian Rechberger (ENS Paris, visiting Microsoft Research).
Eh, just fun. Wondering if there's an MM dumb enough to sell me any. lol.
Hanged the 10... nice.

Republican senator alleges SEC destroyed documents
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - A Senate Republican on Wednesday asked the Securities
and Exchange Commission to respond to allegations that the agency may have
destroyed documents and compromised enforcement cases involving activity at big
banks and hedge funds. "From what I've seen, it looks as if the SEC might have
sanctioned some level of case-related document destruction," said Sen. Chuck
Grassley, Republican of Iowa, in a letter to the agency. Grassley said he
recently received a letter arguing that the agency staff "destroyed over 9,000
files related to matters under investigation." The letter claims that the SEC
allegedly destroyed files related to matters under investigation in important
cases such as Bernard Madoff and a $50 billion Ponzi scheme he operated as well
as an investigation involving Goldman Sachs trading in credit default swaps in
2009. An SEC spokesman did not return a request for comment. The allegations that
the SEC destroyed documents were first reported by the Rolling Stone magazine in
a report Wednesday.
