Zero-Day Flaw Found in Web Encryption

Well this can't be good. According to the report, the flaw in the Transport Layer Security authentication process allows anyone to "hijack a legitimate user's browser session and successfully impersonate the user."


Security researchers Marsh Ray and Steve Dispensa unveiled the TLS (Transport Layer Security) flaw on Wednesday, following the disclosure of separate, but similar, security findings. TLS and its predecessor, SSL (Secure Sockets Layer), are typically used by online retailers and banks to provide security for web transactions.
