Malicious cryptography, part two
By Frederic Raynal

This two-part article series looks at how cryptography is a double-edged 
sword: it is used to make us safer, but it is also being used for 
malicious purposes within sophisticated viruses. Part two continues the 
discussion of armored viruses and then looks at a Bradley worm - a worm 
that uses cryptography in such a way that it cannot be analyzed. Then it 
is shown how Skype can be used for malicious purposes, with a 
crypto-virus that is very difficult to detect.
