Jednou z novinek v nejnovějším Linuxu 4.17 je bloková šifra Speck. Šifra je ale poněkud kontroverzní. Stojí za ní NSA a nebyla doporučena Mezinárodní organizací pro normalizaci (ISO) pro použití v IoT.

The NSA people fought tooth and nail for a year and a half simultaneously arguing two almost mutually-exclusive points: (i) they employ the most talented cryptographers and hence, we should trust them when they say that an algorithm is secure; and (ii) they are average cryptographers and hence they would not be able to insert a backdoor into the algorithm.
Israeli delegate Orr Dunkelman told Reuters he did not trust the U.S. designers following the September meetings.NSA nedodala publikaci o sifre.
According to WikiTribune’s source, experts in the delegations have clashed over recent weeks and the NSA has not provided the technical detail on the algorithms that is usual for these processes. The U.S. delegation’s refusal to provide a “convincing design rationale is a main concern for many countries,” the source said.
What is unusual about Simon and Speck is that the NSA had a four-year delay in publishing the ciphers with a security analysis and a description of the design decisions, which are considered mandatory best practices.Jednoduse receno, nikdo se na to ani nepodival, protoze nebylo na co se posivat. Je to skoda, pokud je ten algoritmus designovany na IoT (zohlednena casova a prostorova slozitost) a byl by zkontrolovany jako bezpecny mohl mit uspech, ale takhle je k nicemu :/
