eMudhra certificate authority keys cracked in milliseconds

Security researcher Scott Helme reports that eMudhra, an Indian certificate authority, issued TLS certificates protected by cryptographic keys so weak they could be cracked in milliseconds, in a piece titled 'Eight Bits of Trust'. The finding raises questions about how such certificates passed CA validation checks and renews concern over oversight in the public key infrastructure ecosystem.

Why now: Weak CA keys undermine trust in TLS certificates, a core internet security mechanism, and the researcher's detailed write-up is circulating in the security community.
