A security engineer is attempting to increase the randomness of numbers used in key generation in a system. The goal of the effort is to strengthen the keys against predictive analysis attacks. Which of the following is the BEST solution?
A) Use an entropy-as-a-service vendor to leverage larger entropy pools.
B) Loop multiple pseudo-random number generators in a series to produce larger numbers.
C) Increase key length by two orders of magnitude to detect brute forcing.
D) Shift key generation algorithms to ECC algorithms.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Using an entropy-as-a-service vendor can provide access to larger and more unpredictable entropy pools, which enhances the randomness of numbers used in key generation, making them more resistant to predictive analysis attacks.
