eMudhra Certificates Found Using Tiny Numbers as Private Keys
Original: eMudhra Certificates Used Tiny Numbers Like 4 as Private Keys
Security researchers report that certificates issued by Indian certificate authority eMudhra were generated with extremely small private keys, in some cases numbers as small as 4, making them trivially easy to crack. The flaw has drawn attention from the cryptography community, with experts questioning how such weak key generation passed validation checks and urging affected users to check their certificates.
Why now: The discovery of absurdly weak cryptographic keys in a trusted certificate authority's output is a serious and surprising security failure.
