Dual EC DRBG - нашумевшая схема генератора псевдослучайных чисел, который был стандартизован, несмотря на потенциальный бэкдор. Математическая часть данного бэкдора интересна и сама по себе, но особенно - как важная веха в истории современной криптографии. Статья посвящена математической части бэкдора и в деталях объясняет то, почему он работает. Для понимания потребуется хотя бы минимальное знакомство с основными понятиями алгебры и криптографии.

"NVIDIA Security Engine contains a vulnerability in the Deterministic Random Bit Generator (DRBG) where the DRBG does not properly initialize and store or transmits sensitive data using a weakened encryption scheme that is unable to protect sensitive data which may lead to information disclosure.This issue is rated as moderate."
A vulnerability in the Deterministic Random Bit Generator (DRBG), also known as Pseudorandom Number Generator (PRNG), used in Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software and Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a cryptographic collision, enabling the attacker to discover the private key of an affected device. The vulnerability is due to insufficient entropy in the DRBG when generating cryptographic keys. An attacker could exploit this…
A vulnerability in the deterministic random bit generator (DRBG), also known as pseudorandom number generator (PRNG), in Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software and Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software for Cisco ASA 5506-X, ASA 5508-X, and ASA 5516-X Firewalls could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a cryptographic collision, enabling the attacker to discover the private key of an affected device. This vulnerability is due to insufficient entropy in the DRBG for the…
