So by now you've almost certainly read: http://www.networkworld.com/news/2007/062707-black-hat.html MY HYPOTHESIS on what has happened is that: 1) The technology is very flawed 2) The patch requires hardware to be re-issued, which causes all kinds of law-suits, broken contracts and SLAs, basically it's a legal nightmare. 3) The reason for the inexplicable pull out is a heavy legal threat aimed directly at the presenter/research/their company. 4) Other people have broken this and are already pwning crypto technology based on it But I have *no* evidence at all. Anyone got any more information so we can piece this together? bambam _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
