Researcher, Hanno Böck, has found very weak cryptographic keys in use that have been generated by SafeZone Crypto Libraries, once owned by Inside Secure and now owned by Rambus. These keys are so weak that consumer grade hardware running old algorithms.

Samsung smartphones with leaky security – Smart Thinking Solutions
How many other weak keys are still in use?
You had better check your website, smartphone, server, web apps etc. If you do not know how to proceed with such a project – then contact us.
