Dual Elliptic Curve Deterministic Random Bit Generation Algorithm Flaw in RSA Security Products
CVE-2007-6755
Currently unrated
What is CVE-2007-6755?
The Dual Elliptic Curve Deterministic Random Bit Generation (Dual_EC_DRBG) algorithm provided by RSA Security has a known issue with its default point Q constants. These constants may be correlated with 'skeleton key' values, allowing attackers who exploit this relationship to undermine cryptographic protections. This flaw poses serious risks, as it can enable context-dependent attacks that potentially compromise sensitive data and systems relying on this random number generation process.
