A potential backdoor in Dual_EC_DRBG – Elliptic Curves
8.4.4 A potential backdoor in Dual_EC_DRBG Dual_EC_DRBG is a pseudorandom number generator based on elliptic curve cryptography. From 2006 to 2014, it was among the algorithms officially recommended by NIST in their Special Publication 800-90A Random Number Generation Using Deterministic Random Bit Generators. In 2014, NIST withdraw the algorithm based on substantial suspicion in the…
