Reino: Security Features

La seguridad de un software no es un software de seguridad. Nos preocupamos de cuestiones como la autenticación, el control de acceso, la confidencialidad, la criptografía y la gestión de privilegios.

Key Management: Empty Encryption Key

Abstract
Las claves de cifrado vacías pueden poner en riesgo la seguridad de una forma que no es fácil de resolver.
Explanation
El uso de una clave de cifrado vacía nunca es una buena idea porque reduce considerablemente la protección que proporciona un buen algoritmo de cifrado y también dificulta en gran manera la solución del problema. Una vez que el código dañino está en ejecución, la clave de cifrado vacía no se puede cambiar sin aplicar revisiones al software. Si la cuenta protegida por la clave de cifrado vacía se ve comprometida, los propietarios del sistema deberán elegir entre la seguridad y la disponibilidad.

Ejemplo 1: el código siguiente utiliza una clave de cifrado vacía:


...
encryptionKey = "".
...


No solo permitirá a cualquiera con acceso al código determinar que se está usando una clave de cifrado vacía, sino que cualquier usuario malintencionado podrá descifrar datos cifrados con gran facilidad. Una vez que la aplicación se haya distribuido, se requiere una revisión del software para cambiar la clave de cifrado vacía. Un empleado con acceso a esta información podría utilizarla para irrumpir en el sistema. Si los usuarios malintencionados tienen acceso al ejecutable de la aplicación, podrían saber que se está usando una clave de cifrado vacía.

	<cfset encryptionKey = "" />
	<cfset encryptedMsg = encrypt(msg, encryptionKey, 'AES', 'Hex') />
	...


No solo permitirá a cualquiera con acceso al código determinar que se está usando una clave de cifrado vacía, sino que cualquier usuario malintencionado podrá descifrar datos cifrados con gran facilidad. Una vez que la aplicación se haya distribuido, se requiere una revisión del software para cambiar la clave de cifrado vacía. Un empleado con acceso a esta información podría utilizarla para irrumpir en el sistema. Si los usuarios malintencionados tienen acceso al ejecutable de la aplicación, podrían saber que se está usando una clave de cifrado vacía.

Abstract
Las claves de cifrado vacías pueden poner en riesgo la seguridad de una forma que no es fácil de resolver.
Explanation
El uso de una clave de cifrado vacía nunca es una idea acertada porque reduce considerablemente la protección que proporciona un buen algoritmo de cifrado y también dificulta en gran manera la solución del problema. Una vez que el código dañino se encuentra en producción, se requiere una revisión de software para cambiar la clave de cifrado vacía. Si una cuenta protegida por la clave de cifrado vacía se ve comprometida, los propietarios del sistema deben elegir entre la seguridad y la disponibilidad.

Ejemplo 1: El código siguiente realiza el cifrado AES con una clave de cifrado vacía:


...
key := []byte("");
block, err := aes.NewCipher(key)
...


No solo permitirá a cualquiera con acceso al código determinar que se está usando una clave de cifrado vacía, sino que cualquier usuario malintencionado podrá descifrar datos cifrados con gran facilidad. Una vez distribuida la aplicación, se requiere una revisión de software para cambiar la clave de cifrado vacía. Un usuario puede obtener indicios del uso de una clave de cifrado vacía.

Abstract
Las claves de cifrado vacías pueden poner en riesgo la seguridad de una forma que no es fácil de resolver.
Explanation
Nunca es una buena idea utilizar una clave de cifrado vacía. El uso de una clave de cifrado vacía no solo reduce considerablemente la protección que proporciona un buen algoritmo de cifrado, sino que además dificulta enormemente la solución del problema. Una vez que el código dañino está en ejecución, la clave de cifrado vacía no se puede cambiar sin aplicar revisiones al software. Si la cuenta protegida por la clave de cifrado vacía se ve comprometida, los propietarios del sistema deberán elegir entre la seguridad y la disponibilidad.

Ejemplo 1: el código siguiente realiza el cifrado AES con una clave de cifrado vacía:


...
CCCrypt(kCCEncrypt,
      kCCAlgorithmAES,
      kCCOptionPKCS7Padding,
      "",
      0,
      iv,
      plaintext,
      sizeof(plaintext),
      ciphertext,
      sizeof(ciphertext),
      &numBytesEncrypted);
...


No solo permitirá a cualquiera con acceso al código determinar que se está usando una clave de cifrado vacía, sino que cualquier usuario malintencionado podrá descifrar datos cifrados con gran facilidad. Una vez que la aplicación se haya distribuido, se requiere una revisión del software para cambiar la clave de cifrado vacía. Un empleado con acceso a esta información podría utilizarla para irrumpir en el sistema. Si los usuarios malintencionados tienen acceso al ejecutable de la aplicación, podrían saber que se está usando una clave de cifrado vacía.

Abstract
Las claves de cifrado vacías pueden poner en riesgo la seguridad de una forma que no es fácil de resolver.
Explanation
Nunca es una buena idea utilizar una clave de cifrado vacía. El uso de una clave de cifrado vacía no solo reduce considerablemente la protección que proporciona un buen algoritmo de cifrado, sino que además dificulta enormemente la solución del problema. Una vez que el código dañino está en ejecución, la clave de cifrado vacía no se puede cambiar sin aplicar revisiones al software. Si la cuenta protegida por la clave de cifrado vacía se ve comprometida, los propietarios del sistema deberán elegir entre la seguridad y la disponibilidad.

Ejemplo 1: El siguiente código inicia una variable de clave de cifrado como una cadena vacía.

...
from Crypto.Ciphers import AES
cipher = AES.new("", AES.MODE_CFB, iv)
msg = iv + cipher.encrypt(b'Attack at dawn')
...


No solo permitirá a cualquiera con acceso al código determinar que se está usando una clave de cifrado vacía, sino que cualquier usuario malintencionado podrá descifrar datos cifrados con gran facilidad. Una vez que se haya distribuido el programa, se requiere una revisión del software para cambiar la clave de cifrado vacía. Un empleado con acceso a esta información podría utilizarla para irrumpir en el sistema. Si los usuarios malintencionados tienen acceso al ejecutable de la aplicación, podrían saber que se está usando una clave de cifrado vacía.

Si la cuenta protegida por la clave de cifrado vacía se ve comprometida, los propietarios del sistema deberán elegir entre la seguridad y la disponibilidad.

Ejemplo 1: El código siguiente utiliza una función de derivación de claves basadas en contraseñas con una longitud de clave de cero, lo que produce una clave de cifrado vacía:


require 'openssl'
...
dk = OpenSSL::PKCS5::pbkdf2_hmac_sha1(password, salt, 100000, 0) # returns an empty string
...


No solo permitirá a cualquiera con acceso al código determinar que se está usando una clave de cifrado vacía, sino que cualquier usuario malintencionado podrá descifrar datos cifrados con gran facilidad.

Abstract
Las claves de cifrado vacías pueden poner en riesgo la seguridad de una forma que no es fácil de resolver.
Explanation
El uso de una clave de cifrado vacía nunca es una buena idea porque reduce considerablemente la protección que proporciona un buen algoritmo de cifrado y también dificulta en gran manera la solución del problema. Una vez que el código dañino está en ejecución, la clave de cifrado vacía no se puede cambiar sin aplicar revisiones al software. Si la cuenta protegida por la clave de cifrado vacía se ve comprometida, los propietarios del sistema deberán elegir entre la seguridad y la disponibilidad.

Ejemplo 1: el código siguiente realiza el cifrado AES con una clave de cifrado vacía:


...
Dim encryptionKey As String
Set encryptionKey = ""
Dim AES As New System.Security.Cryptography.RijndaelManaged
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
  AES.Key = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(encryptionKey)
  ...
Exit Sub
...


No solo permitirá a cualquiera con acceso al código determinar que se está usando una clave de cifrado vacía, sino que cualquier usuario malintencionado podrá descifrar datos cifrados con gran facilidad. Una vez que la aplicación se haya distribuido, se requiere una revisión del software para cambiar la clave de cifrado vacía. Un empleado con acceso a esta información podría utilizarla para irrumpir en el sistema. Si los usuarios malintencionados tienen acceso al ejecutable de la aplicación, podrían saber que se está usando una clave de cifrado vacía.
