[Cryptography] SSH uses secp256/384r1 which has the same parameters as what's in SEC2 which are the same the parameters as specified in SP800-90 for Dual EC DRBG!

Hey, I had a look at SEC2 and the TLS/SSH RFCs. SSH uses secp256/384r1
which has the same parameters as what's in SEC2 which are the same the
parameters as specified in SP800-90 for Dual EC DRBG!
TLS specifies you can use those two curves as well...
 Surely that's not coincidence..
