Group Publishes Database of Embedded Private SSL Keys

The LittleBlackBox Project comprises a list of more than 2,000 private keys right now. Each key can be associated with the public key of a given router, making it a simple matter for an attacker to decrypt the traffic passing through the device. SSL is the default standard for encryption on the Web and is used to secure most transactions online, including e-commerce and online banking. The fact that encryption keys were hard-coded into many embedded devices has been known for some time, but extracting the key and then finding a router using it has been a challenge until now.
