nsa attack

[Project971 0]

Hi,

 

after the usual worrisome news,  - 

 

http://thehackernews.com/2015/10/nsa-crack-encryption.html

 

I have one question among others:

 

They state 'Around 92% of the top 1 Million Alexa HTTPS domains make use of the same two primes for Diffie-Hellman, possibly enabling the agency to pre-compute a crack on those two prime numbers and read nearly all Internet traffic through those servers.'   So how do the renaming 8% update them?

 

Also hos vpn providers can protect to some extent against this ?

 

cheers

The attack is against 1024bit keys AirVPN uses 4096bit;

AirVPN use unique primes on every server.
