Good point. And even more so. What I think we would like to have is: (1) Read access to the raw output of the entropy source. (2) Possibly read access after whitening. (3) Write access to inputs of the PRNG This would allow us to probe that the whole chain works as intended with KATs for the PRNG part. This would still not prove that Intel, when MUXing in data from (1)/(2) into the PRNG actually does something completely different. -- Med vänlig hälsning, Yours Joachim Strömbergson - Alltid i harmonisk svängning. ========================================================================
