Whoops, @Yubico just scored 31% on the Sony PS3 Epic Fail scale. Collect three signatures from a FIPS Yubikey and you can calculate the private key.https://www.yubico.com/support/security-advisories/ysa-2019-02/ …

Do I understand correctly that if deterministic signature algorithm was chosen, this problem wouldn't be that huge?

To be fair, Yubico doesn't get to pick what curves they need to implement for a given standard.

Deterministic nonce generation is possible for all curves, isn't it? Besides, mandating possibly flawed curves is quite bad idea but maybe it's due to back compat.

It is, but it isn't the standard for most curves, and *especially* for a FIPS device I doubt they could get away with doing that. Most standards are still using horrid NSA curves, even U2F. Only very recently is ed25519 expanding beyond the space of open source software.

I doesn't really matter. It might be less likely to be backdoored by the NSA, but that's about it.
