!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] ([Dual_EC_DRBG]) is a [Pseudorandom number generator] standardized by the [National Institute of Standards and Technology] ([NIST]) and promoted by the [NSA].
[{$pagename}] generates random-looking numbers using the mathematics of [Elliptic Curves]. There have been reports that it could have been designed with a [backdoor], meaning that the sequence of numbers returned could be fully predicted by someone with the right secret number.
[{$pagename}] usage i [NOT RECOMMENDED]
There has been progress in developing curves with efficient arithmetic outside of [NIST], including [Curve25519] created by Daniel Bernstein (djb) and more recently computed curves by Paulo Baretto and collaborators.
