Original: Eight Bits of Trust: eMudhra's CA keys cracked in milliseconds

Security researchers report that certificate authority keys issued by Indian digital trust firm eMudhra could be cracked in milliseconds, with the flaw likened to just eight bits of effective security. The finding raises questions about how widely eMudhra certificates are trusted and has prompted discussion among security engineers about key generation practices and the audit standards governing certificate authorities.

Why now: A trusted certificate authority's keys being breakable almost instantly is a serious security failure with potentially broad implications for web trust.
