Estonian teenager rewarded $1000 for finding UI spoofing vulnerability in Chrome

Leave a reply

Jasper Rebane, a 16-year-old Estonian computer enthusiast, found vulnerability in the Chrome browser. Google has now fixed the security bug and has rewarded him with $1000.

A security vulnerability found by Rebane was corrected in Chrome version 67.0.3396.62 where the changelog just states that he found an error CVE-2018-6135: UI spoofing in Blink. However, Rebane still can not share more precise details about the security error. In his response to Geenius, he said that in the interests of security, it is not allowed to disclose this information so that malicious people could not attack Chrome’s non-upgraded versions.

Currently, the 16-year-old Rebane is haunting plans for the future. In the near future, he plans to participate in the KüberNaaskli competition, where the best will be sent to the European Cyber Security Challenge to represent Estonia. “There is also a plan to learn about things and improve skills, and to take part in the team at many of the CTF’s (Capture the Flag) competitions,” he added. There is also a plan to move on to the YouTube platform where Rebane wants to create educational cyber-security videos.

ID card “The Lessons We Learned” conference

Leave a reply

Estonian Information System Authority (RIA) is organising an international conference on 9th of May in 2018 in Tallinn (Tallinn Creative Hub – Kultuurikatel) to discuss the impact and consequences of the security risk found in the Infineon chips in autumn 2017 by the researchers at Masaryk University in the Czech Republic.

The aim of this conference is to bring together parties affected by the security risk to discuss our lessons, experiences and responsibility, because the security flaw affected many companies and countries in Europe as well as elsewhere in the world. If possible, we aim to agree on a joint plan of follow-up activities or a memorandum to provide input to different authorities who establish regulative rules. Researchers from Masaryk University have announced their participation in the conference – they will make an opening presentation about their research.

The conference is aimed at policymakers as well as specialists in the eID field, opinion leaders, representatives of authorities and companies that are dependent on the functioning of Estonian ID-cards and e-services, developers of e-government and IT systems, and other parties related to the issue from both Estonia and Europe.

Agenda:

Study on the lifecycle of cryptographic algorithms 2017

Leave a reply

This year we have ordered and will publish cryptographic algorithms life cycle report in parts. The first part is now available.

The first and the most important chapter gives overview of the current state of algorithms.

The second chapter writes about the cryptographic side of the last fall ID card crisis. The report describes what happened, what was done and how on the cryptographic side the new solution (elliptic curves) for ID cards works.

The third chapter gives overview of block-chain technologies and in addition provides Estonian-language terminology for block-chain related English terms.

The report has been ordered by RIA and written by Cybernetica researchers Ahto Buldas, Jan Willemson and Arne Ansper.
