AES stands for Advanced Encryption Standard. It is a specification for the encryption of electronic data. It was first implied by US government. Today its is used to secure the top-secret government documents to online banking transactions. Recently cryptographers have discovered a way to break this encryption. The technique was revealed in Crypto 2011 cryptology conference in Santa Barbara, California.
The research is the combine work of Mr. Andrey Bogdanov of Katholieke Universiteit Leuven,Mr. Dmitry Khovratovich of Microsoft and Mr. Christian Rechberger of Ecole Normale Superieure
In this technique, the attacker is allowed to recover AES secret keys up to five times faster than previously possible. It introduces a tact known as biclique cryptanalysis to remove about two bits from 128-, 192-, and 256-bit keys. This research is groundbreaking as it is the first method of breaking single-key AES that is faster than brute force.

People still fall prey to cyber crime despite their knowledge of risks and repeated warnings from police, with 271 cases reported in the first six months of this year, Dubai Police has said. Complaints filed this year include 110 scams, 108 cases of stolen phone line and 70 cases of blackmail, threatening and libel. "Although we issue many warnings through various means to inform the public about lottery and free gift scams which are sent to their emails, some still fall for them," Major Rashid Lootah, Director of cyber evidence at Dubai Police's Forensic Evidence and Criminology Department.
When these people are contacted by scammers who inform them that they had won a prize and need to send their account numbers or transfer money as fees to be able to receive the award, many still comply.
"People respond to these scams and then report them after they lose their money and find that they have been tricked," Maj Lootah said.
He also urged BlackBerry users to be aware and not add strangers to BB Messenger, since police received many complaints from people who were blackmailed after someone they added managed to hack their phone and get hold of their personal information and pictures.
"Do not open links that appear when you browse through your BlackBerry, because most of them contain viruses that enable the other party to hack your phone and view all your files and pictures," he said.Cyber evidence specialists processed 261 cases in the first half of this year, including piracy, theft, dishonesty, harassment, intellectual copyright violations and others.
Other cases include forgery of credit cards and duplicating the websites of some major companies and service providers, which lure people into logging in and making a payment on these websites using their credit card information.

Honk Kong police have arrested a 29-year old man following a cyber attack on the city’s stock exchange website. The attack, the second in two days, halted the trading of shares in seven different companies. According to spokesperson for the police, five personal computers and two mobile phones were among the items seized when the man was arrested. “He is being investigated under the offence of access to a computer with criminal or dishonest intent,” the spokesman said, adding that the man was being held for questioning. The firms hit by the “malicious” attack, which caused them to stop trading for half a day, included banking giant HSBC and airline Cathay Pacific.
The website of the Hong Kong bourse, the world’s most valuable exchange operator, displays listed companies’ regulatory filings. The bourse said it had to suspend the trading to ensure investors had equal access to the filings. The exchange had said its other systems were not affected and trading in its securities and derivatives markets were operating normally.
