Consider a hypothetical scenario of a large high performance multi-user database. All connections are via TLS. A lot of other cryptographic operations are done, some involving random numbers. This is an example where the dual ec attack could have been partially mitigated with per TLS DRBGs.

No mention of whether or not this will apply to EVERYTHING in a program, or will it be left to administrative guidance. Your thoughts, for example, on a “FIPS mode” flag for SSL or SSL_CTX? At a minimum, that needs to be listed as a stakeholder requirement (from Akamai). From: "t...@openssl.

It is good that Tim hit the break and requested a discussion. That was overdue and it is unfortunate that we did not start it much earlier. I think Tim brought up to important points: 1. We need to to pause for a discussion to determine the direction to go. Otherwise the DRBG implementation will b
