| | | | | You cannot have good encryption without random numbers, but few people realize the Raspberry Pi (all versions) have a random number generator right on their silicon. Unfortunately, the Raspberry Pi OS's do not utilize it without a set of tools not installed by default. As a result, you end up with a much smaller pool [...] | |

| | | | | Introduction: Cryptography, the art of secure communication, relies on robust and trustworthy encryption algorithms to safeguard sensitive information. However, concerns about a potential backdoor in the NIST-approved Dual_EC_DRBG random number generator have plagued the encryption community for years. This article examines the history, suspicions, and implications surrounding the controversial algorithm. Background: Dual_EC_DRBG, based on elliptic curve cryptography, was included in NIST's SP 800-90A publication as one of the recommended random number generators for use in cryptography. However, from the beginning, doubts were raised about the algorithm's security and potential weaknesses. Later, it was publicly revealed that the United States National Secu... | |

| | | | | In today's news of the weird, RSA (a division of EMC) hasrecommendedthat developers desist fromusingthe (allegedly) 'backdoored' Dual_EC_DRBG random number generator -- which happens to be thedefault in RSA's BSafe cryptographic toolkit. Youch. In case you're missing the story here, Dual_EC_DRBG (which I wrote about yesterday) is the random number generator voted most likely to... | |
