A world of hurt after GoDaddy, Apple, and Google misissue 1M certificates
This article really annoys me.<p>It's "Rage Culture" or maybe just front-page seeking by the author. The problem with that is that it makes people desensitized because if everyone is screaming all the time, one should just shut their ears. We have real issues to discuss and this isn't one of them by a long shot.<p>Reducing the search space from 64bits to 63bits is of no consequence because if an attack on 63bits was feasible, it would mean the <i>same attack</i> would work 50% of the time on 64bit (or take twice as long for 100%). That wouldn't be acceptable at all.<p>Sure, 64>63, but at the very least it's not "A world of hurt"
