Original: Eight Bits of Trust: eMudhra's CA keys cracked in milliseconds
Security researcher Scott Helme reports that eMudhra, an Indian certificate authority, used cryptographic keys with only eight bits of effective entropy, allowing them to be factored and cracked in milliseconds. The finding raises questions about how such weak keys passed audits and whether certificates issued under them can be trusted, prompting discussion among security professionals about oversight of root programs.
Why now: A newly disclosed weakness in a trusted certificate authority undermines confidence in HTTPS trust infrastructure.
