The goal is to addresses weaknesses discussed in the paper "Mining your Ps and Qs: Detection of Widespread Weak Keys in Network Devices", by Nadia Heninger, Zakir Durumeric, Eric Wustrow, J. Alex Halderman, which will be published in the Proceedings of the 21st Usenix Security Symposium, August 2012.
