  > This was written in 1996. The language used feels already much different from today's publications. God I feel old. That depends on which publications you're looking at, just as it did in 1996. An article from LWN [1] today, for example, reads in a fairly similar style. Maybe slightly less stuffy, because it's targeted at a slightly more general audience.

    Interesting link - thanks. Was it the same issue though -- the Netscape SSL issue is from year 1996. The linked NYT article is about vulnerability with public key encryption dated 2012 by different authors.
