Improving Enterprise Cybersecurity With XDREnterprises are looking at eXtended Detection and Response technologies to improve their abilities to detect, and respond to, threats. While endpoint detection and response is not new to enterprise security, organizations have to improve network visibility, expand data collection and expand threat hunting capabilites if they want their XDR deployments to succeed. This issue of Tech Insights also includes: a market overview for XDR from Omdia, questions to ask before deploying XDR, and an XDR primer.

In the text and linked BlackHat synopsis, the author describes how multiple messages under an AEAD scheme like AES-GCM can be decrypted successfully by multiple keys. I'd say it is unsurprising they decrypt (any key will decrypt the message, just most of the messages would be garbage), but for the security properties of any AEAD construction to hold, the authentication tag should be invalid for the message afterwards. The text reads like the author may have found a way where in specific constructions this is not the case, so I am very excited to read more details about the attack.
The number one reason why I love applied cryptography. You never stop learning :-)
