eMudhra Appoints KPMG for Independent Review After Digital Certificate Security Incident
eMudhra, a Bengaluru-based digital trust company, appointed KPMG to conduct an independent review following a security incident involving eight intermediate TLS certificates with weak private keys. The flaw, caused by a script error during a key generation ceremony in April 2025, allowed keys to be mathematically recovered, raising concerns about potential misuse. Major browsers like Google, Microsoft, and Mozilla distrusted the affected certificates. eMudhra has exited its global SSL TLS business and aims to strengthen governance based on the review findings.
