What proof is it that it is really the origin of the curves? That looks credible like most hallucinated output of LLM but it might easily be a coincidence similar to a collision attack, no?
Especially finding the solution that is based on using a random number generator.
It's like people seeing proof that the future was written in Harry Potter books by reading the first letter of the top of the page of a weird set of pages.
So I have this straight, you're concerned that the raw output of lrand48 seeded by a timestamp taken at the time the curves were known to be generated might happen to collide with a hash function output, or, better yet, the precise value needed to trip an unknown elliptic curve vulnerability?
I have that right?
