MIT: Encryption is less secure than we thought

http://j.mp/16lP0Co  (MIT)

   "Unfortunately, as a group of researchers at MIT and the National
    University of Ireland (NUI) at Maynooth, demonstrated in a paper
    presented at the recent International Symposium on Information Theory
    (view PDF), that assumption is false. In a follow-up paper being
    presented this fall at the Asilomar Conference on Signals and Systems,
    the same team shows that, as a consequence, the wireless card readers
    used in many keyless-entry systems may not be as secure as previously
    thought."
