eMudhra says weak keys were created but never used commercially
Why it matters for readers: It matters because weak TLS/SSL keys could let attackers impersonate websites, but here they were not put into use.
- Eight of eMudhra's 40 issuing certifying authorities were created with weaker-than-intended keys.1
- The weak keys were not put into commercial use, so eMudhra says there has been no cybersecurity incident affecting subscribers.1
- eMudhra is investigating what led to the error in key generation and is notifying customers that no impacted certificates were issued.1
- Company co‑founder Kaushik Srinivasan said the issue does not affect their India digital signature or enterprise solutions businesses.1
