        Systems that send seemingly random information in the clear
        are easier to subvert. One of the most effective ways of
        subverting a system is by leaking key information--recall the
        LEAF--and modifying random nonces or header information is the
        easiest way to do that.

        ...

        All random number generators should conform to published and
        accepted standards. Breaking the random number generator is
        the easiest difficult-to-detect method of subverting an
        encryption system. A corollary: We need better published and
        accepted RNG standards.
