Speakers: Karsten Nohl, starbug Cryptographic algorithms are often kept secret in the false belief that this provides security. Getting access to and examining firmware is easier than you think and it gives some really good insight into how things work. Ken Shirriff has seen the insides of more integrated circuits than most people have seen bellybuttons.
