Cryptography compared with Matthew Green

Cigital » The Silver Bullet Security Podcast with Gary McGraw

On the 90th episode of the Silver Bullet Security Podcast, Gary talks with Matthew Green, Assistant Research Professor at the Johns Hopkins Information Security Institute. Gary and Matt discuss the difference between theoretical cryptography and applied cryptography, the “On the NSA” blog post takedown scare, and the allegedly ‘backdoored’ Dual_EC_DRBG RSA/EMC random number generator. Gary ends by asking Matthew the same question he asked Avi Rubin back on the first episode.
