Taking a page from L0pht Heavy Industries, Alexander Sotirov, Jacob Appelbaum, and a team of researchers whose identities have to remain secret for now are making the theoretical possible this Tuesday at the 25th Chaos Communication Congress in Berlin. The details of their presentation have been heavily censored leading up the event, with only a handful of security researchers, journalists, and collaborators given early access to the materials. Fortunately, I was one of them, and I wanted to take the opportunity to talk about their research, why it is important, and why the pre-conference secrecy is justified.
