Is this not just related to the Dual_EC_DRBG and other tainted RNG issues we've known about, and mitigated, for years?

You can see discussion on this going on as far back as 2015, explicitly in regards to what "SIGINT enabled" means and Cavium: https://www.metzdowd.com/pipermail/cryptography/2015-Decembe...

Am I missing something here? People are talking as if there is some new backdoor that's somehow avoided detection. Did everyone just miss this discussion in 2015?

Discussion of the "Sigint Enabling Project" goes as far back as 2013 on HN itself.
