The following Infocus technical article was published on SecurityFocus today: Malicious cryptography, part two By Frédéric Raynal 2006-05-16 This two-part article series looks at how cryptography is a double-edged sword: it is used to make us safer, but it is also being used for malicious purposes within sophisticated viruses. Part two continues the discussion of armored viruses and then looks at a Bradley worm - a worm that uses cryptography in such a way that it cannot be analyzed. Then it is shown how Skype can be used for malicious purposes, with a crypto-virus that is very difficult to detect. http://www.securityfocus.com/infocus/1866
