This technology helps in identifying and decrypting keys used by ransomware, allowing for data recovery without paying ransom, thus preventing data loss.
2. What are the potential commercial applications of this technology?
This technology can be applied by cybersecurity firms, IT departments, and organizations to enhance their defenses against ransomware attacks and protect sensitive data.
Original Abstract Submitted
one example method includes taking snapshots of a ransomware process, obtaining, from the snapshots, a key sequence that comprises a subset of keys used by the ransomware process to encrypt data, hashing one of the keys of the subset of keys to generate a hash, and when the hash matches one of the keys in the subset of keys, using the hash to deduce other keys used by the ransomware process and not already included in the subset of keys.
