LogJam - a new flaw in an encryption algorithm

Researchers working at Microsoft and other institutions have detected a new SSL flaw. The flaw itself is called LogJam and its detection suggests that 8% of top million websites using HTTPS (protocol for secure communication) are vulnerable and it does not matter that users see a padlock icon in the address bar. Researchers claim that email services that use the TLS protocol might also be at risk. Luckily, companies are creating updates in order to fix this flaw; however, there is a possibility that a number (around 20 000) of websites will be blocked after the release of updates. It is likely that only those websites that are older and whose code has not been updated for a long time will be affected. Read more »
