Cybersecurity and random number generators
summary
The talk explains how many popular programming languages use cryptographically weak random-number generators that let attackers predict future RNG outputs. It examines the security impact on secret-generation systems—using the real-world example of a widely used vulnerable password manager—and presents the practical cryptography and randomness considerations every developer should know.
