Odaily reports: Blockchain security firm CertiK stated that although Google, Apple, and Microsoft have blocked 8 affected certificates issued by Indian digital certificate authority eMudhra, crypto trading bots and exchange applications may still be exposed to related vulnerability risks, as browser remediation measures may not cover software that uses independent security systems.Peiyu Wang, Senior Director of Digital Asset Security at CertiK, noted that attackers could exploit compromised certificates to impersonate exchanges, wallet interfaces, and APIs, replace deposit addresses, or trick users into approving malicious transactions. However, such attacks would also require intercepting or redirecting network traffic, and the compromised certificate authority keys alone cannot expose wallet private keys. Crypto service operators should update their software and certificate trust stores, and confirm that their applications reject the affected certificates. (Cointelegraph)
Odaily reports: Multiple tech companies have urgently blocked 8 intermediate certificates with security vulnerabilities issued by Indian digital certificate authority eMudhra Limited. Due to flaws in the private key generation process of the affected certificates, attackers could exploit forged certificates to impersonate legitimate websites and intercept, read, or tamper with user communications.Mozilla cryptography engineer Dennis Jackson stated in an incident report that after receiving the vulnerability report on October 17, Mozilla independently recovered the relevant private keys, confirming that the generation mechanism has serious flaws and is highly exploitable.Mozilla subsequently blocked the affected certificates in Firefox through OneCRL and released browser updates for desktop and Android on October 20. Cloudflare also updated protections for services including Cloudflare One, WARP client, and Cloudflare Tunnel on Tuesday. According to Mozilla's disclosure, Chrome blocked the relevant certificates on Saturday, Apple devices completed blocking on Monday, and Microsoft platforms took corresponding measures on Tuesday.

Odaily News: LayerZero Labs, in collaboration with the a16z Crypto research team, Carnegie Mellon University, and Imperial College London, has released new research findings on Aerie, aimed at improving the aggregation efficiency of post-quantum cryptographic signatures.According to the introduction, Aerie is built upon the previously launched lattice-based polynomial commitment scheme Akita. On a MacBook Pro equipped with an Apple M4 Max chip, using 16 CPU cores without GPU acceleration, it can aggregate 32,768 Falcon-512 signatures in 0.65 seconds, with peak memory usage of approximately 2.1 GiB.LayerZero stated that compared to the previous Orthus scheme, Aerie achieves approximately 1.5x faster proof generation, 38x faster verification, and approximately 1.7x smaller proof size. Additionally, Aerie supports aggregation of ML-DSA signatures standardized by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), with specific performance data to be released later.This research aims to provide a technical pathway for blockchain to achieve low-latency, post-quantum secure consensus without requiring specialized hardware.
