Can anyone reference me to an article that explores a technical analysis of how their random number generator was exploited? Did it not have full coverage (read: RANDU style error) or otherwise?

- mydpy 13y agoActually, I found it here. Pretty interesting issue, I recommend the read. I'll summarize the paper here: Java implementations primarily used on lightweight mobile platforms have a method called SecureRandom which generates pseudo random numbers for cryptographic operations. The integrated seed generator on some platforms provides a systematic means of determining the seed value and predicting seemingly secure outputs. http://www.scribd.com/doc/131955288/Randomly-Failed-The-State-of-Randomness-in-Current-Java-Implementations http://www.scribd.com/doc/131955288/Randomly-Failed-The-Stat...
- glurgh 13y agoYes but that's not the problem being reported.
