I was thinking what RSA was saying right off the bat. It sounds to me like 0.2% of x.509 certificates used for HTTPS are either generated improperly or generated using poor implementations of RSA.
If I used a five-character alphabetic password on a AES-256-bit-full-disk-encrypted drive, that would not represent a flaw in AES; it would represent a flaw in my implementation.
