2020.05.23
Risk: Medium
Local: No
Remote: Yes
CVE: N/A
CWE: N/A

IAIK JCE is a provider for the Java Cryptography Extension that, according to the vendor, "supplements the security functionality of the default JDK". It is a commercial product developed by Stiftung Secure Information and Communication Technologies: https://jce.iaik.tugraz.at/about-us/ The way that some of the computations involved in the signature generation are carried out introduces a side channel that leaks timing information about the ephemeral number k.
