Security firm RSA "categorically denies" accepting money from NSA to use flawed crypto code By Shawn Knight December 23, 2013, 17:00 Serving tech enthusiasts for over 25 years.

RSA's defense seems to be that officials didn't know the NSA-influenced deterministic random bit generator had weaknesses that could be exploited to crack adversaries' cryptographic keys. If so ...

In fact, RSA reminds, back when the contentious code – known as Dual EC DRBG – was first implemented as the default in its BSAFE toolkit, in 2004, the NSA's role in the security sector was ...

Security provider RSA endowed its BSAFE cryptography toolkit with a second NSA-influenced random number generator (RNG) that's so weak it makes it easier for eavesdroppers to decrypt protected ...
