NOT JUST ONE! RSA adopted Two NSA Backdoored Encryption Tools
Mar 31, 2014
The respected encryption and network security company RSA Security (now a division of EMC), whose respect was already on stack after revelation by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden revealed that the NSA created a flawed random number generation system ( Dual_EC_DRBG ), Dual Elliptic Curve, which the most trusted security provider company RSA used in its Bsafe security tool. Until then RSA wasn't able to come up from this aspersion, a new document by Snowden revealed that RSA received $10 million from NSA for keeping Encryption Weak. Researchers from Johns Hopkins , the University of Wisconsin , the University of Illinois have claimed that the RSA adopted one more NSA recommended tool called Extended Random extension for secure websites, which actually helps NSA to crack a version of the Dual Elliptic Curve software tens of thousands of times faster, Reuters reported. Dual Elliptic Curve Deterministic Random Bit Generator ( Dual EC_DRBG ) is a cryptograph
