Comment on NIST removes Dual_EC_DRBG

Comments

So now we wait for the reaction from ISO and ANSI.

I have yet to see any reaction from either organisations regarding the standards ANSI X9.82, Part 3 and ISO/IEC 18031:2005 both of which includes Dual_EC_DRBG.

NIST rightfully gets a lot of blame and shame for not reacting to Dual_EC_DRBG in a timely manner. But ANSI and ISO standardized Dual_EC_DRBG before NIST and AFAIK has been very numb (and deaf and blind) the whole time. Would love to be proven wrong.
