NSA cracking of SSL/TLS

Post by Bobby1 » Fri Sep 06, 2013 5:17 pm

The revelation that the American and British governments have cracked SSL/TLS leaves a lot of questions for the future of OpenVPN. The project cannot continue forward built on top of an insecure protocol. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out in the future. Clearly this newest revelation means there can be no confidence in the ability of OpenVPN to maintain private and secure communications for users. Any ideas out there on how to fix this?

My understanding of current RSA cracking is attacking the trust model.
For OpenVPN I run my own CA which does not live online, so I only trust me.

If you know more I would like to see some links
