Black Hat: SSL is fragile
Researchers at the Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas have proved that the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol is fragile and could be broken at any time. This puts all smartcard-based systems at risk as well as so-called secure websites because SSL is the web's most widely used authentication system. However, Verisign, which manages SSL security for the .com domain, and internet browser makers were cooperating with each other and the researchers to fix the flaws. New, more robust software and processes would be available by the end of the year, they said.
