Loophole in Windows Random Number GeneratorSubmitted by veridicus on November 12, 2007 - 3:35pm.
Re:Hardware RNG Yeah because every time Windows is updated, it's a really high priority to write a new random number generator? XP is based off of 2000 even if Vista was meant to be a rewrite. "Hey guys, I dont think the random number generator is random enough today - it came up with 2 prime numbers in a row! Anyone feel like taking a few days to rewrite it, test it, introduce a few bugs, document it, seal off the documentation to make sure nobody finds it, and go take it up to Steve? I hear he's out of chairs right now so it should be okay". |
