Random number generators in code can always have a back door for hackers.
It’s near impossible to create a back door for secp256k1 which is elliptic cryptography for #Bitcoin ’s public keys.
If a back door could be created, would the #BTC network be compromised?
I stand to be corrected but you can access a public key from a private key but not private key from a public key.
I hope I don’t sound like a idiot.
Any insight would be highly appreciated.
