But internal memos leaked by a former N.S.A. contractor, Edward Snowden,
> suggest that the N.S.A. generated one of the random number generators used
> in a 2006 N.I.S.T. standard — called the Dual EC DRBG standard<http://web.archive.org/web/20060930163233/http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/nistpubs/800-90/SP800-90_DRBG-June2006-final.pdf>— which contains a back door for the N.S.A. In publishing the standard,
> N.I.S.T. acknowledged “contributions” from N.S.A., but not primary
> authorship.
