eMudhra Flagged Over Weak Certificate Keys
Original: eMudhra Certificate Keys Compromised with Tiny Numbers Like 4
Security researchers report that certificates issued by Indian certificate authority eMudhra include some private keys generated with unusually small parameters, in extreme cases values as tiny as 4, making them trivially factorable. The flaw raises concerns about the strength of digital signatures and encrypted connections relying on those certificates. Commenters are questioning how such weak keys passed validation and whether affected certificates will be revoked.
Why now: Fresh disclosure of critically weak cryptographic keys from a major certificate authority has sparked concern over internet security.
