LUKS Encryption Compromised on Linux ICS Devices via TPM Bus Sniffing Exploit
Security researchers Per Idenfeldt Okuyama and Sam Eizad have uncovered a critical physical attack vulnerability in the Moxa UC-1222A Secure Edition industrial computer, demonstrating that its LUKS full-disk encryption can be fully defeated by passively sniffing the SPI bus between the processor and the discrete TPM 2.0 chip during system boot. The flaw, tracked as…
