Author and blogger Bruce Schneier said if someone knows that secret set of numbers, he or she would be able to predict the random-number generator's outcomes and break any code encrypted by the generator. The National Security Agency pushed for Dual EC-DRBG to be included in the government's random-number generator standards, and someone from the NSA or an associated agency could know its secret numbers,
