>    A crippling flaw affecting millions--and possibly hundreds of
>    millions--of encryption keys used in some of the
>    highest-stakes security settings is considerably easier to
>    exploit than originally reported, cryptographers declared over
>    the weekend. The assessment came as Estonia abruptly suspended
>    760,000 national ID cards used for voting, filing taxes, and
>    encrypting sensitive documents.
