Mitigation
Phase: Architecture and Design
Description:
- Do not reuse PRNG seeds. Consider a PRNG that periodically re-seeds itself as needed from a high quality pseudo-random output, such as hardware devices.
Mitigation ID: MIT-2
Phases: Architecture and Design, Requirements
Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks
Description:
- Use products or modules that conform to FIPS 140-2 [REF-267] to avoid obvious entropy problems, or use the more recent FIPS 140-3 [REF-1192] if possible.
