Comment on 512-bit RSA key in home energy system gives control of “virtual power plant”

Security audits should be preventative. Have them before any significant change in infrastructure is released, and have them periodically as a backup.

At least engrave the concept of “don’t do it ever” won’t hurt, and won’t get outdated anytime soon.
However, this approach will hunt security in the long term as this brings to burden to the lib dev to maintain a foolproof design, which they can burnout, quit, and leave a big vulnerbility in the future as most dev won’t touch the code again if it’s still “working.”
Cybersecurity is very important in today’s digital landscape, and cryptography is one of the pillers.
