The eight NIST P-384 elliptic curve keys generated by the Indian CA eMudra during its key signing ceremony all had private keys of 47 bytes of zeros (i.e., a near-zero tiny value, jokingly called '4').

A NIST P-384 private key should theoretically be a 384-bit random integer between 1 and 2^384-1; if the random number generator fails or the entropy source is insufficient, a predictable private key may be produced.
