A Cryptologic Mystery

 


Did a broken random number generator in Cuba help expose a Russian espionage network?

I picked up the new book Compromised last week and was intrigued to discover that it may have shed some light on a small (and rather esoteric) cryptologic and espionage mystery that I've been puzzling over for about 15 years. Compromised is primarily a memoir of former FBI counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok's investigation into Russian operations in the lead up to the 2016 presidential election, but this post  is not a review of the book or concerned with that aspect of it.
