I have a probably stupid question for you regarding ECC: in general, is ECC cryptography safe from attacks such as "Dual_EC_DRBG",where the curve itself was (potentially) constructed specifically to be breakable? I.e. if I use one of the publicly recommended curves, am I safe or could the curve also be broken by its author?
