- from the page: "Random numbers are critical for cryptography: for encryption keys, random authentication challenges, initialization vectors, nonces, key-agreement schemes, generating prime numbers and so on. Break the random-number generator, and most of the time you break the entire security system. Which is why you should worry about a new random-number standard that includes an algorithm that is slow, badly designed and just might contain a backdoor for the National Security Agency."
very troubling... especially since i'm suddenly working with crypto. have to make sure i avoid Dual_EC_DRBG like the proverbial plague.
