Dual EC DRBG.
- Karunamon 10y agoThe RNG that was only ever used in one (RSA) company's product and then swiftly deprecated once the news dropped? That's a far cry from "Practically every major piece of software and hardware that's not open source has a backdoor embedded."
- nitrogen 10y agoIt's a bit disingenuous to call the RSA lib "one company's product" when it was used by many, many other products.
- Karunamon 10y agoIs it one company's product or is it not?! The pedantry around here can be infuriating sometimes. You take issue with my strictly true comment, and ignore Analemma_'s comment upthread (every product) which is strictly false.
- igravious 10y agoThe clue is in the name. It's a library, it is both the work of one company and used in many products, which is why it is suspected that it was targeted. You're both right. GP is not being pedantic.
