Like deprecating insecure and outdated TLS? Doesn’t seem like a good example.
It’s really not the same level of vulnerability. A crypto failure that allows for reading or altering of communications in-flight as it’s used in TLS now has a significantly different impact than if someone is able to alter the source of truth.
- dotnet00 5y agoI assumed you were referring to the crypto within the blockchain's design itself becoming vulnerable. But if you're referring to more general vulnerabilities like with TLS, I'm not really sure how that's any different from the same being present on a traditional bank's site?
