- phalethit's too bad that one can just reconstruct/regenerate the private key https://mcpherrin.ca/2026/09/07/rsa.html
- nevetI’ve factored the RSA keys of a Certificate Authority…
- bluehalol
- bluephaleth: so this guy found out RSA relies on factoring large primes?
- bluethe thing everyone has known for the last 30 years?
- blueis this guy columbus?
- phalethI think what he says is RSA 1024 keys are almost broken at this point in time
- blueyes, this has been known for a looooooooooong while
- blueI just don't know what these clowns are trying to say with those posts. rsa factorisation problem is common knowledge, and key sizes have increased in response to cracking speed rise
- blueI was at uni in 2015, they already warned us about key sizes with RSA
- bluethis has been a cat&mouse situation ever since we have RSA
- phalethgood uni, I guess that post is mostly trying to educate, it's too bad that the old traffic might just be decrypted someday
- bluetrue
- bluewe all need to move to 6-say validity certs pahelth
- bluephaleth*
- bluete shorter the time, the better reaction we have
- blueI call this, "security by breakage"
- phalethI think there are still better cyphers, such as X448, which for example haproxy supports, but the CAB forum is a bunch of morons
- phalethlowering down the lifetime of certs means depending more on CAs
- bluetrue
