A New /dev/random Is Still Being Worked On

if this happens, quote the yellow post to get the text back.

Then, create a one sentence post and post, edit the post and past your post to bypass the moderation approval.

If your post is totally gone it could be a DNS issue, switch to Google DNS instead of default ISP DNS.

vbulletin is trash. Its the DMV of forum software imo.

No replies on the kernel mailing list. Interesting. Frankly I always love people who think they can create randomness out of thin air. Oooh... wait a minute... air... air is pretty random. Hmmm....

The problem with modern RNG's is that they're in a controlled environment. Its hard to find quality entropy in a tightly controlled environment. A better implementation would be some external device that requires user input/interaction. That wouldn't work for the lowest common denominator masses, but for those who value quality entropy, it's a must.

How about the ChaosKey? The design's open hardware, too.

There is no shortage of entropy in any environment. *Cough* quantum uncertainty *cough*

The problem is guaranteeing that your mechanism for making use of it cannot be (accidentally or deliberately) subverted.
