The random number generator in signal is fully predictable. There is no need for a back door -- when the front door has no lock. :sigh:

- SahAssar 2y agoDo you have a source for that?
- longitudinal93 2y agoOf course he doesn't have a source for that
- roastedpeacock 2y agoThat is a pretty damming accusation. Can you provide more details? This should be the sort of thing you should be hearing from a disclosure or ideally a vendor advisory - not an HN comment thread on a vaguely related article. Failures of randomness are almost always fatal to a cryptosystem.

- not_me_ever 2y agoSource: Read and understood the original whitepaper. Plus verified it in the (probably fake) source code. You can do it too. Might take a decade or two depending on your mathematical background.
- geor9e 2y agoWhy would I need to spend two decades? You already did it. Congratulations on probably one of the biggest exposés of this decade. Ignore the haters with their "delusions of grandeur" insults. You will soon have global fame. So, when are you publishing your bombastic exposé? Or do you plan to sell it for it's minimum $1 billion value? Either way, great job!
