RSA Warns Developers Not To Use RSA Products

Posted by timothy on from the surely-they-have-some-alternatives-to-suggest dept.

rroman writes "RSA has recommended developers not to use Dual_EC_DRBG random number generator (RNG), which has been known to be weak and slow since 2006. The funny thing is, that even though this has been known for so long, it is the default RNG in BSafe cryptographic toolkit, which is product of RSA."
