There is *one* random number algorithm (Dual_EC_DRBG) associated with ECC that is believed to have been compromised. That it appeared vulnerable has long been known; Bruce Schneier wrote about it in 2007. It also happens to be inefficient and so is not widely used (but a few commercial products use it). http://www.wired.com/politics/security/commentary/securitymatters/2007/11/securitymatters_1115 I was unable to find an associated vulnerability in Linux. I trust the OpenSSL folks would be on top of this faster than you can blink an eye if it were a current issue. They have not, from what I've seen, reacted to the revelations. http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/12/20/us-usa-security-rsa-idUSBRE9BJ1C220131220 - -- David Benfell see https://parts-unknown.org/node/2 if you don't understand the attachment -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.1.0-ecc (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJSxgzmAAoJEKrN0Ha7pkCOG1UP/2Tpcnv7JXSombnxZ6Jb511m xkUqLpj4XUiZ+ENIHtzbZSJ9lasAuXBiwfkqr+6Au/8e0Ogbx9KxlofaK6wEU2CI ay2Mpx204CIokZguLxH5ZsltDRcV+AgcCU3queHe//4Y4VxeQoHpfrJh+CdHKrG7 nOIq5ZqC2X58mwJFXtjdTR0J+VjstPFQfP5qtLQeOXI7/rra+oHis+dcBYW3L+T9 Li9eUqY2Qb++W+5PwA8YHqqHPCxOcmbk/kY1/BC46mItEyJEjpOEh+iR2INt21i+ F9FnNHQDrOkbfqQBQaX7wWWXVCjEoi6Z4USIUZLDsPIgwX8Uf2h2D3a4q+WBHDtI d6Vvr02+hyH0XupZP8EkhFr01CtReqPFJv1j+zzQB0+yu8QW0AOf/RTCxqHMESPG 1DZBL0rbsqY+FvdyKGVUiGZMttOGsHAfwIKMbz3XzbEyCdIzWytf50dt9y6tM1wy 6NBY3fNZ6nlPozjeXaZsT5Q5pEjut04Djhql1PpckOlddgsYV78tdOXl0nJRGB2R ZvHkFTOTj430eQa9iZ68Ud6yirI/Cnv3au4tye5uwM0QEhck6RLAAtloCDrU7ZJA tWOqtRLtiysLARjBDvE61BjC4btsaeahuxxspWZ97A9ZSxh2iiKHmnzZoEMlXL0I ABJTAq0gI+QuKXaj7Ehc =//KB -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
