As with all "classic algorithms," its output was deterministic: it produced the same result for the same input every time. It would always finish, and it always produced the optimal, correct result.

It omits an algorithm known as Dual_EC_DRBG, or Dual Elliptic Curve Deterministic Random Bit Generator. NIST recommends that current users of Dual_EC_DRBG transition to one of the three remaining ...

Back in September, approximately 70 government vendors were still using it, even though questions about the algorithm’s integrity dated as far back as 2007. NIST published the standards in 2006.

Former NSA contractor Edward Snowden leaked documents in 2013 that suggested the NSA wrote the dual elliptic curve deterministic random bit generator (Dual_EC_DRBG) algorithm which became part of ...
