A few days ago we learned that the Android implementation of the Java SecureRandom class contains multiple severe vulnerabilities. As a result all private keys generated on Android phones/tablets are weak and some signatures have been observed to have colliding R values, allowing the private key to be solved and money to be stolen. The public security alert is here: http://bitcoin.org/en/alert/2013-08-11-android I will shortly post in the bitcointalk forums as well. An update for the Bitcoin Wallet app has been prepared that bypasses the system SecureRandom implementation and reads directly from /dev/urandom instead, which is believed to be functioning correctly. All unspent outputs in the wallet are then respent to this new key. The process is automatic and does not involve user intervention. Andreas can control the process via a percentage throttle, which we will use to slow things down if the memory pool load gets too high. A fixed APK is available here: https://code.google.com/p/bitcoin-wallet/downloads/detail?name=bitcoin-wallet-3.15-beta.apk&can=2&q= Andreas plans to release this to beta either today or tomorrow. Once some reasonable population of users has completed testing the automated re-keying process, it will be released via the Play Store. All users will get a notification informing them of the new version and some will be upgraded automatically. Other wallet maintainers have also been notified and are working on similar updates. thanks - -mike -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.20 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBCgAGBQJSB7udAAoJEPLkhhyZiIFvv7QIAJQf5AqpNdo0hWSubvcXu6H9 QoYJllZRb3KhjDEaFU5xinvrN3co6mqRqctbhP2JplrwebEczd8GN4jJZyn90oES 7oydQsnYGyO1+W64dnMjOXSCsvIerAv1TuYDIeRmVFlWzXEAbEK3QTB7G/qciF5x YNh5M94HYFTCTzDwc3oCHJQUzbl/X/BwPS8TITmEZ3gfYDi+hoyUmHlZukjtFZf+ /ukDqzWPswscUseuXlUqfu7EMbV0cFO2niCwuTsmkvxkjsz35bPD1LxMYmm1qEjw FeKINcws74okK7pnAqsHYIiP0d64zOwfQFJqfFyek18f0LSqYf32h3h1F8GbmJU= =bZtl -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
