&gt; Why is Juniper using Dual_EC DRBG anyways?<p>As a follow-on question: was NetScreen using Dual_EC_DRBG before Juniper bought them (and with it ScreenOS?) If so, it might be good to scrutinize the original NetScreen owners and where they are now (hint: They now run Fortinet and Palo Alto Networks. Are they at risk of interesting, compromised security choices, now, too?)<p>And you&#x27;re right. Juniper could still have their own e, which renders the security pointless.
