This year, we decided to continue our tradition of small-scale experiments with security of connected devices but focused on the automotive-related topic. We randomly took several different automotive connected devices (a couple of auto scanners, a dashboard camera, a GPS tracker, a smart alarm system, a pressure and temperature monitoring system) and reviewed their security setup.
In March 2015, Slack announced that it had been hacked the previous month, and that a central user database holding “usernames, email addresses, and one-way encrypted (‘hashed’) passwords” had been accessed. In some instances, phone numbers and Skype IDs were also exposed. Slack said that it had “no indication that the hackers were able to decrypt stored passwords”. At the time I questioned whether Slack had really announced the breach…
The Bank of England has announced that Alan Turing’s face will grace the new £50 note.

Google has released an open-source cryptographic tool: Private Join and Compute. From a Wired article: Private Join and Compute uses a 1970s methodology known as "commutative encryption" to allow data in the data sets to be encrypted with multiple keys, without it mattering which order the keys are used in. This is helpful for multiparty computation, where you need to…
