This was fantastic folks.
The remarkable thing about eMudhra is that they power Internet2, so the orgs that were affected by this are the largest universities in the US.

Internet2's certificate authority (eMudhra) is being distrusted
eMudhra, the CA behind Internet2's InCommon certificates, made trivially simple keys, and Chrome drops its ECC root and 30,000 certificates October 27.

One question. "Validation" is via ORCID only presently, no?
Your uni is on the network list. internet2.edu/community/me...
So that should mean it would be pretty easy to add lea to the list of internet2 services, no?

In 2025, eMudhra's revocation lists failed signature checks. It fixed them by re-signing with the broken keys.
Last week it said it's leaving the TLS business. Chrome stopped trusting its ECC root on Tuesday.

Chrome stops trusting eMudhra's ECC root Tuesday. And eMudhra is leaving the TLS business, so InCommon certificates reissued on its RSA chain will have to move again.

It was 1% of their business but they also JUST became the CA for Internet2 which gave them 50 US universities as customers. They ragequit because their stock price went down like 40% in 2 days and I wonder how much it recovers now they have shown quite how bad their processes are

Last night 43 of 57 large universities still had current certs on that chain. Minnesota, Michigan, Washington and UC San Diego had 500+ each.
I just published our writeup on it.

Posted by Stuart Henderson on Oct 22 Collateral damage for "emSign ECC Root CA - G3" includes the various
InCommon intermediate CAs:
C=US, O=Internet2, CN=InCommon Intermediate CA - DVG3C
C=US, O=Internet2, CN=InCommon Intermediate CA - EVG3C
C=US, O=Internet2, CN=InCommon Intermediate CA - OVG3C
as well as the eMudhra Technologies Limited ones.
(Unless you also remove the RSA root, like was done here for a bit,
then it's a bit wider.....

The extra troubling thing about all of this is that eMudhra is the provider of Internet2, the CA and CLM platform for USA large universities. And there platform does not make it easy to switch away from their CA.

Unironically part of the reason I've gotten into radios again is to hedge against something (e.g. AI slop) rendering the Internet unusable.
It's not perfect but it could help bridge the gap until Internet2 comes out.
I should also focus on reading books as well...
