[Herts] Cracking OpenSSL keys

[Steve Clark]

Here's a write-up on how the Debian/Ubuntu issue produced vulnerable keys

http://metasploit.com/users/hdm/tools/debian-openssl/

Scary stuff. Luckily I was not using any on my system. I hope everyone 
affected is updating their systems.

On the topic of encryption, would anyone be interested in a keysigning event 
at a future meeting? We have done some a while back, but perhaps some of the 
newer members would like to exchange keys? If there is interest I will set 
something up.
