A new and innovative technique has been developed by the security researchers, with which they can copy house keys just by using its picture as reference.

This technique has been developed by computer scientists at UC San Diego, and it needs no physical access to keys and only a fairly low resolution picture for the software to work. The scientist say that this technique has been developed by team with the aim to reveal to everyone that keys are not as secure as they are thought to be.

Washington, November 1 : Dutch researchers have shown that the so-called McEliece encryption system, a candidate for the security of Internet traffic in the age of the quantum computer in future, is not devoid of vulnerabilities.

Computer scientists at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) in The Netherlands said that they had managed to crack the system.

Tanja Lange, a professor at the university, revealed that the attack succeeded this month by means of a large number of linked computers throughout the world.

Prior to this work, she and her PhD student Christiane Peters had announced the discovery of a way to speed up attacks against the 30-year-old McEliece cryptosystem earlier this year.
