| Is SSL Dead and gone? |
| Today we live in a world of 24 hour surveillance. Web browsers that refuse to connect to websites without SSL – GCHQ the NSA and of course Mossad receive trillions ot terabytes of data on a daily bases – and we think we are secure. And those in the hosting business think that they have their services so secure – but this in fact is not the case.
There is sufficient evidence to indicate that GCHQ and the NSA have cracked SSL traffic – they are not very unlikely to boast their success. There’s a general consensus is that 2048 encrypted traffic has been cracked as are public PGP keys – GNUPG seems to have been not cracked – no “backdoors” to the intelligence services. If your going to create keys 4096 is best. I will write a bit more later. |
