Hello,

 

I have read the advisory an I am a bit puzzled regarding the there are CAs using exponent 3 in wide use comment, I have tried to check and could not found any CA using this exponent, all the CA’s I have seen are using 0x10001 (CA’s I have generate by OpenSSL using default values, world wide trusted CA’s such as VeriSign and Thawte etc..), I understand that specifying CA’s using exponent 3 will give specific targets to malicious people and that is defiantly not a good idea, how ever I would like to try and better understand the range of the problem,  are only old CA’s using exponent 3 ?

 

Could anyone elaborate some on this?

 

Regards,

Hagai,
