A zero-knowledge proof protocol is a way for a prover to convince a verifier that a statement containing classified information is true without revealing even a single bit of information (or a fraction thereof) about that knowledge. This is because the prover can prove the accuracy of the claim to the verifier without providing them with additional information. As a consequence, the verifier nor any passive eavesdropper gains any information from taking part in any number of executions of the protocol. To this end, a non-interactive zero-knowledge proof system contains only one message sent by the prover to the verifier.

Credential Stuffing is a technique that involves an automatic injection attack to access online services with stolen credentials. In an attack on the login data, fraudsters use it to access consumer accounts to make fraudulent purchases, carry out phishing attacks and steal information and money.
This attack method is facilitated by a range of off-the-shelf tools which are easily available, making it unsophisticated and relatively straightforward.
Commonly used tools include Sentry MBA, Account Hitman, Vertex, and Apex. To launch an attack, an attacker simply needs their tool of choice, a configuration file for the website to be attacked, and a…
As its name suggests, the embedded SIM card or eSIM is built into the phone’s board.
eSIM will help operators and their customers to develop new business models and open up new business opportunities.
Telecommunications group Verizon is considering using blockchain technology to bolster the dynamic creation of virtual SIM cards. Contrary to the headlines, Verizon is not the first provider to try to use blockchain technology for a SIM card.
A 5G blockchain eSIM technology jointly developed by China Unicom, Gotell, and Webank was officially approved by the GSMA organization and officially released on April 20, 2020.

The evolving challenges in identity management, in particular those related to identity theft, fraud, and other forms of identity abuse, have led to a new approach to identity management, now known as Federative Identity Management (FIM). Federated Identity Management is a relatively new concept that is part of an ongoing trend in identity management, an automated approach to managing identities such as passports, driving licenses, social security numbers, birth certificates, etc. …
Security researchers have discovered a new technique for stealing sensitive data on computers and will detail how cold-start attacks can use computer firmware to allow attackers to recover passwords, credit card numbers, and other sensitive information stored in them. As we have known since 2008, cold-start attacks on encryption keys or cold-start attacks can steal the encryption key of a computer from an attacker with physical access to a machine, which remains briefly in memory after a hard reboot. …
The machine learning module can detect malware by analyzing the aggregate power consumption of FPGA hardware. For example, it can detect 60 Hz network activity periods that can correspond to RAM scraping malware. The server can then perform an analysis of power consumption, memory consumption, and memory usage by the API calls.
The first step is to find the leading Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) that lead to the creation of the malware and its execution on the FPGA hardware.
Collecting more API calls that can provide more information about the malware, and finding complex relationships between API calls can improve…
The brain is thought to seek to minimize value differences, and artificial networks are capable of both driving connections and conveying predictive information.
Computer models of predictive coding neuroscience can offer predictive capabilities and be classified into hierarchical deep neural networks. I think there is a very important feature of machine learning, namely the prerogative of a predictive neural network. Because of this characteristic, these networks are unable to perform effective incremental learning and are therefore unable to convey real predictable trust in the signal. The model is used to generate predictions of sensory input that are compared to actual…
Cybercriminals use encrypted ransomware that has become the most common type because it is difficult to crack the encryption and remove the malware.
Ransomware virus encrypts the files as if they were actively encrypted, but actually, they are hidden in a separate file, which waits for a defined set of conditions to be unlocked before they are decrypted. In the case of ransomware, the viruses can encrypt files without the knowledge or consent of the user. …
GCI reveals a report by determining the legal regulations of the countries on cybersecurity, national strategies, determined standards, certifications, training, awareness, and coordination capabilities of cybersecurity teams. Within the formation, a fiction is formed by inviting the member states by the GCI in order to evaluate their national strategies and their situation regarding cybersecurity within the scope of the industry and private sector. The ultimate goal of this fiction is to create a global-scale cybersecurity culture and to act as an incentive for the integration of this culture into information and communication technologies. …
