Christian Weisgerber: > Misstrauen gegen NIST-Kurven "Claude reveals ECDSA curve origins" https://www.anthropic.com/research/ecdsa-curve-origins | This is not a cryptographic break, new attack, or weakness in the | ECDSA curves. In fact, this makes us more confident the curves | were chosen without any backdoors or intentional weaknesses. For | many years, people have been suspicious of the origins of the | NIST curve parameters. They were presented to NIST without any | mention of how they were chosen, leaving people wondering if they | may have been chosen to have deliberate backdoors in them. These | findings make that much less plausible. The seeds were generated | in a very simple way: a common pseudorandom number generator | initialized from the clock, which anyone can now reproduce. That | leaves much less room for subversion and that we can be confident | the parameters are secure. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@xxxxxxxxxxxx -- Unix User Group Rhein-Neckar e.V.: https://www.uugrn.org Archiv und An-/Abmeldung: https://mail2.uugrn.org Social Media: https://social.uugrn.org
