New Data Shows Bleichenbacher Variant Breaches TLS1.3

August 6, 2019 / GuidesFor Team

To the uninitiated, TLS 1.3 is the latest version of SSL. It is more of its successor, but for discussion sake, let’s just consider TLS 1.3 a “modernized and more secure version” of SSL. Since both SSL and TLS use the RSA as its base algorithm, it is more or less the truth. TLS 1.3, released mid-2018 is considered efficient and secure. It was assumed to be working as intended as described by this article by Embedded Computing.  That is until now, cybersecurity professionals identified a variant of the Bleichenbacher attack (designed to break RSA) to breach TLS 1.3, read more to learn about the story.
