How to Recover Private Keys for Microsoft Internet Explorer, Internet Information Server, Outlook Express, and many Others
Overview Once an attacker has obtained a users private key in this manner, they have effectively stolen their (digitial) identity, and can use it to digitally sign contracts and agreements, to recover every encryption session key it's ever protected in the past and will ever protect in the future, to access private and confidential email, and so on and so on. The ease with which this attack can be carried out represents a critical weakness which compromises all other encryption components on web servers and browsers - once the private key is compromised, all security services which depend on it are also compromised.
