Alex Hornung <[email protected]> added the comment: Well, karc4random calls arc4_randomstir(), which calls read_random_unlimited(), so it *is* using the same entropy as /dev/random and /dev/urandom.
I'm not sure I understand your point considering the above. I don't think reading directly from read_random_unlimited() on each and every karc4random() call is a good idea at all. This way it gets called every few times, it seems, which should be good enough (?)
