I would think that having 2 PRNGs and then switching between them would ruin this strategy.
Obviously this would cost money for retrofitting, but all new slots could employ a new design, getting rid of this problem over a few years.
Not a perfect solution, but at least it's a medium to long-term fix.
- DashRattlesnake 10y agoThey already have a fix (better PRNGs), they just don't want to pay to implement it. "Use 2 PRNGs and switch between them somehow" sounds kinda like "roll your own encryption." This stuff is hard to get right, and iterating on quick-fixes without a deep understanding of the problem seems unlikely to do anything except introduce minor roadblocks for the attackers.
