Definition ∞ Entropy Generation Failure describes a defect in the process of creating unpredictable random numbers, which are critical for cryptographic security in digital systems. This failure results in predictable or repeatable outputs, severely compromising the strength of encryption keys and digital signatures. It exposes systems to various security breaches.
Context ∞ Entropy generation failure represents a fundamental security vulnerability in blockchain and cryptographic applications, potentially undermining the integrity of private keys and transaction security. Developers prioritize robust random number generation protocols, often leveraging hardware-based sources, to safeguard against this critical weakness.
