Crypto experts issue a call to arms to avert the cryptopocalypse

http://j.mp/16d8XHD (ars technica)

   "At the Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas, a quartet of
    researchers, Alex Stamos, Tom Ritter, Thomas Ptacek, and Javed Samuel,
    implored everyone involved in cryptography, from software developers
    to certificate authorities to companies buying SSL certificates, to
    switch to newer algorithms and protocols, lest they wake up one day to
    find that all of their crypto infrastructure is rendered useless and
    insecure by mathematical advances."
