Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar has asked authorities to investigate a security certificate flaw reported in eMudhra's digital signing system.
Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar publicly urged a thorough investigation into a recently identified flaw in the security certificates issued by eMudhra, a leading Indian digital certificate authority.
The minister said the vulnerability could potentially compromise the integrity of electronic transactions that rely on eMudhra’s certificates, and stressed the need for swift action by relevant regulatory bodies.
eMudhra has not yet released a detailed statement, but industry observers note that any weakness in certificate issuance can affect a wide range of services, from banking to e‑governance. The call for a probe comes amid growing concerns over cyber‑security in the country.
The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology is expected to coordinate with the certifying authority and the Computer Emergency Response Team to assess the scope of the issue.
