Indian certificate authority eMudhra allegedly used weak keys, enabling forged certificates

AIDeedy says Indian certificate authority eMudhra generated 384-bit private keys using only eight small numbers, which he claims would let attackers issue certificates for any website. He also criticizes the company as a family business whose leaders lack technical backgrounds and whose tech team he describes as junior and underpaid, and warns that AI could make such flaws easier to exploit.

Gross incompetency from Indian certificate authority eMudhra.

You had one job: generate a 384 bit private keys and instead you used: 4, 56, 66, 115, 155, 156, 230, and 237.

This allows attackers to issue certificates for any websites.

Embarrassing that it’s a family business run by largely computer illiterate people. Only 1 of the 3 have a remotely computer-related background and even they never actually worked a technical job in their life. If you look at the LinkedIn, their tech team is young, from tier 3 education and paid sort of bottom barrel.

Imagine how many attacks you can design with AI given the existence of this genre of gross negligence.
