The new LogJam Bug

The Wall Street Journal reported that computer-security researchers are disclosing a new flaw, called LogJam, in technology behind prominent security tools, including the green padlock on secure websites. The flaw could allow an attacker to read or alter communications, including e-mail or traffic to websites that claim to be secure.
Jeremy Clark, assistant professor in Concordia’s Institute for Information Systems Engineering (CIISE), can elaborate why the LogJam might be more dangerous than the Heartbleed bug.
