An Implementation of Cryptoviral Extortion Using Microsoft¡¯s Crypto API - book excerpt
This chapter presents an experimental implementation of cryptovi- ral extortion, an attack that we devised and presented at the 1996 IEEE Symposium on Security & Privacy and that was recently covered in Malicious Cryptography. The design is based on Mi- crosofts Cryptographic API and the salient aspects of the implemen- tation were presented at ISC ¡¯05 and were later refined in the International Journal of Information Security.
