Correct. Every time I've seen P-521 in a professional setting, it is the very first thing I check for.

- astrange 3y agoHow often do people get it wrong? It doesn't seem particularly difficult to generate 521 random bits.
- some_furry 3y agoThis is the first time it's ever actually happened. I'm just painfully aware of missing developer ergonomics and ways to shoot oneself in the foot.
- tptacek 3y agoIt was found a bunch a decade or so ago. PuTTY is just a more obscure codebase.
- some_furry 3y agoSorry, I should've been clearer: all the times I've checked for this specific bug, I did not find it in the code I was looking at. All the times I looked for it was the series of events I was reflecting on. That's what I meant by "the first time it's happened". I shouldn't write comments before my first cup of coffee.
