avxo writes: According to an article on the New Zealand Herald, Kim Dotcom claims that his team has evidence showing that the Department of Homeland Security served a search warrant on Megaupload in 2010, forcing it to preserve pirated movies. According to Mr. Dotcom those preserved movies are the center of the latest legal battle. He added: “[t]he FBI used the fact the files were still in the account of the ... user to get the warrant to seize our own domains. This is outrageous.”

Submission + - New AES attack documented

avxo writes: Bruce Schneier covers a new cryptanalytic related-key attack on AES that is better than brute force with a complexity of 2^119. According to an e-mail by the authors: 'We also expect that a careful analysis may reduce the complexities. As a preliminary result, we think that the complexity of the attack on AES-256 can be lowered from 2^119 to about 2^110.5 data and time. We believe that these results may shed a new light on the design of the key-schedules of block ciphers, but they pose no immediate threat for the real world applications that use AES.'
